XIX Winter Olympic Competitions Begin!- Update Thread Day 1 (NBC Tape Delay to Prime Time)

International Olympic Committee ^ | February 9, 2002 | Bob Costas and Jim McCay with Katie Colon

[codebreaker]

This is for the local people on the scene to provide results and updates to family members and friends in the FR community.

Press reports should trickle in through the day.

[P-Marlowe]

And were you calling Utah Girl a moron?

Don't get you panties in a bunch. Geez, I was just warning someone that it is off limits to bash MORmONS since 2/7/02. As far as I can tell it is still kosher to bash MORONS.

With that in mind would it be alright to bash you? Or will you punch the abuse button?

Lighten up. Get a sense of humor. Pull your panties out of the crack and get a life. Just start making fun of the stupid MORONIC Olympics like a normal person and quit looking for controversy that isn't there. <|:-)

[Utah Girl]

Dang NBC, why are they tape delaying the Olympics???

[alisasny]

Hannah Hardaway up next....GO USA

[alisasny]

Where are you getting your info from? I could use that link.

[umbra]

The suspense is killing me, I can't believe we're not getting this live.

[Utah Girl]

Brigham Smith? LOL. Did you read Iowahawk's satire on the Olympics? He had Senator Osmond Young, and Stockton Malone, and John Karl from Provo. It was great.

[alisasny]

with 2 skiers to go it looks like a potential USA Sweep....GO USA

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Watching it all live on Canadian TV. Hannah Hardaway had a poor run, but Shannon Barke still leads. One more American and the Finnish woman still to come.

[umbra]

So the Finn could take us out of the gold?

[alisasny]

You guys are so lucky....all I can get is live scores and results online..no footage. I hate NBC

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Ann Battelle (U.S.) is in 6th. Shannon Barke still in first one more skier to go.

[umbra]

I predict this thread will hit 1,000 by 8 PM tonight.

[anniegetyourgun]

I guess it was too much to ask that he would stay away.....

[alisasny]

It appears we will medal in this event...still possible gold by Bahrke.

[umbra]

YES, EAGLES UP -USA!!

[alisasny]

Sorry Folks.. Norway Usa then Japan...

Silver medal for USA

[umbra]

Shoot..maybe KC Boutiller will come through in the 5,000 speedskating.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Kari Traa (Norwegian not Finn as I posted earlier) put down a great run (incredible jumps) and knocked Shannon Barke to Silver. Only the Silver for the U.S. (3 of the top 7 in the final). The Canadian skier (Jennifer Hiel) finished fourth. Japanese skier got the bronze.

[alisasny]

The dutch didn't skate yet...: ))

[umbra]

Is there one more left?
