2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics

[True blue (and gold)]

Now, I find it weird, but I am glad those veterans from China won, they had so much emotion tied into it. What I did find awful, was how critical one of the announcers was, it was very uncomfortable how she was attacking their performance like they couldn't have won gold. Then when they did, she said, it was obviously from their short performance....hahaha Maybe it was Tonya Harding.

 

I was happy for them, too. The commentator was a little overboard...well, quite overboard.

Figure Skating is the one thing that I just won't watch in the Olympics.

Exactly. As i said earlier, i loathe the announcers for the figure skating events. Hamilton is the worst of the lot imo.

Yes, even that. It just bores me lol.

 

Even the lifts that seem to be impossible? The jumps that appear to defy gravity? The spins that just get faster and faster?

The Germans curled the rocks off the Stars and Stripes today.

I thought the announcers said that the US curlers had another match tonight.
