    NBC announcing team is garbage

    I've been borrowing my Norwegian girlfriend's Eurosport login for their online player, so I've been watching that(even though I don't know the language yet, haha). Amazing performance by Mowinckel - Norwegians have just been crushing it this Olympics

    It's definitely been lackluster for sure but I'm not sure if it's because US isn't good or others are just way better.

    Norway has been straight up dominating

    Cross country is like a religion in Norway; at my girlfriend's work over there everybody just stops what they're doing and watches the races in their lounge area, haha

  19. He’s been killing it recently. Terrible start but has been clutch since.

    I wish I had changed my user name... Prestigious

    I see the gold medal match going one of two ways: he's going to continue this tear and have a killer redemption story, or he's going to Shuster so hard that it will be a uncompetitive match. But either way, they're coming home with the USA's best curling medal ever so that's cool

  23. I've found Kaori Sakamoto's skating very moving the couple times I've caught her at these games. Probably doesn't hurt that "La Noyee" is wonderful.

    I'm Emotional, I Hug the Block Prestigious

    The countries that are routinely and/or historically (some just have bad years sometimes) successful at the Olympics usually spend a lot of money on youth training so on, as well as programs where professional athletes that can't make real money with their sport get to work for the government (for example the police), but get paid time off to train and compete. I know this because I lived in three of them.
