Wax seems to be a huge factor today.
Ohh you stiiinkyy Frenchmen

Nice story on Sarah Burke. Good job, Collinsworth.

It was pretty insane. Our Canuck won every heat to make it to the final 4 with 3 other frenchmen. He just couldn't get anywhere and ended up crashing.
I'm trying to find the clip of the norwiegian who crashed on the last jump. They should sign him up for the big ski jump event. It was mental how much air he got. Pls post if you find it.

which heat was that big air Norwegian in?

agreed, too bad they declined to point out the fact that the IOC declared Sarah stickers political propaganda and banned them...

[Tippster]

I wish Sarah and Kristi were skiing in the halfpipe. This shit is boring.

i saw Skier Cross on NBC. it was fkn sweet. that course looks very fun.

do they not have womens skier X anymore when the fuck is that?

whoever suggested they run a skier/showboarder race head to head is a genius

[mobygrape]

ice dancing between ski runs is so much better when they're dancing to black flag/suicidal tendencies/ gbh, etc. much more better.

They did not declare the Sarah stickers as political propaganda. IOC rule 50 dictates what is allowed to be on an athletes equipment or clothing.
If you want to use the argument that they think the Sarah stickers are propaganda, you should also say that they blocked Sydney Crosby from making a political statement and forced him to cover the Rebock logo on his gloves.

Tomorrow. Duh.

That's like saying that a figure skater and a speed skater should race each other around the oval. Snowboarders are seconds behind by the finish.

So Nick Goepper wins Bronze in Ski Slopestyle w/o using poles. I'm kinda surprised they're still used in the pipe.

[that dude who did that thing]

I've reached the point I'm completely done with figure skating. Can't even stand to watch any more of it this Olympic cycle.

I'm not a hockey fan at all, but today's games were incredible.

Guess he uses poles, but has been recovering from an arm injury this season and got use to riding w/o em

it's OK with me. as a bit of a traditionalist i prefer they use them, but it certainly freed up his hands to pull off some jaw-dropping double grabs.

It takes so. Fucking. Looooooonnnnng.

Can't they speed up the whole judging process?!!


Anyone else getting up early to watch Women's SL? Shiffrin should be one of the first racers for run 1...

Looks like She is bib 6. Good number. Good Luck!

[spook]

so is it body weight? strength? why are the women's airs in the halfpipe so much smaller.

[that dude who did that thing]

I look at Ashely Wagner and all I can see is the founder of "Future Cougars of America."
