You forgot the luge..

French word that translates into 'What are you, crazy? in English.

I do like me a good luge wipeout.

Yes...but so confusing.  Seems quite complex to figure out all that is going on.  But exciting yeah.

Which with the talk of best winter games events...

Short Track Speed Skating...I love it...super intense and exciting.

My son and I settled in on the couch this morning to watch the volleyball. Open the NBC app and the first thing we see is “US Women defeat Brazil for volleyball gold.” OK. Guess we can go for a bike ride or something. 
 

I recorded the USA Network coverage and muted the tv until I could navigate to the recording this morning. Worked like a charm

I recorded it and for some reason the recording started after the first 2 sets were complete.  Watched the 3rd set - seems like they dominated.

gosh darn if I wouldn’t kiss The Rock right on the mouth.

In your face China!

The cheating Russians still getting medals is total BS. If the stupid IOC is going to ban them, then ban them properly; like how the mods do here.

That third set was a master class. So much fun to watch

Winter chat is absolutely sleeping on the biathlon.

Riveting television.

BMX racing was exciting AF both finals were incredible. Britain takes gold in womens and  silver in mens, gold in womens bmx freestyle.  

if any IOC member ever claims dressage is an olympic sport they deserve to be punched in the mouth. horse dancing, where the horse is the athlete not the human. please, I can't even...

 

[heckmanm]

Golf as an Olympic sport???

Is Croquet next?  

Bags/Cornhole is next

This you?

am I the only one who thinks having equestrian events in the Olympics is dumb? I realize it's been included forever, but having a piece of 'equipment' with its own mind and will takes the control out of the athletes' hands. for instance: https://nypost.com/2021/08/06/no-1-ranked-olympic-pentathlete-bursts-into-tears-when-horse-wont-jump/

this poor woman possibly lost a chance at the gold because she was assigned a random horse who was having a bad day.

using animals as 'equipment' is dumb. that is all.

Seems similar...several posters around not under their original name or pictures and so on...yet still posting.

Equestrian and boxing are the only two Olympic events I regularly turn off.  It's beyond dumb.

I used to *REALLY* like olympic boxing when I was younger... but I had zero interest in it this time.

Read somewhere that Chinese media included any medals from Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao in their Olympic medal totals.

So they can be ahead of the US

It's killing them.

Suck it China!!
