**4matic** · 02-13-2018, 09:02 PM

**plugboots** · 02-13-2018, 09:04 PM

100th US winter gold.

**east or bust** · 02-13-2018, 09:04 PM

White is the GOAT

**4matic** · 02-13-2018, 09:04 PM

What an event. So much pressure.

**that dude who did that thing** · 02-13-2018, 09:05 PM

Fuck that was huge.

**The SnowShow** · 02-13-2018, 09:06 PM

**MakersTeleMark** · 02-13-2018, 09:06 PM

Wow that was perfect drama!

I'd love to see his and Hirano's runs back to back. Both were excellent.

I think Sean's amplitude was the clincher.

**east or bust** · 02-13-2018, 09:08 PM

nothing like some good ice dancing to follow that up

**t-the-east** · 02-13-2018, 09:08 PM

Seriously, wtf. Lots of figure skating

Yeah, I mean, they go from what could potentially be the greatest story of the Olympics to goddamn ice dancing. I threw up in my mouth and immediately turned the channel when that came on.

It's obvious that the air time is all about ratings. Notice how curling isn't getting the prime time coverage it deserves?!?!

I wish these desperate housewives in Wisconsin would take a little bit more interest in some real sports and give a few shits less about the ice dancing.

Hey Shaun - don't drag the flag around on the ground.

Well, figure skating is beautiful and if not to your liking it still takes tremendous athleticism to figure skate well. Like ballet.

**Tippster** · 02-13-2018, 09:20 PM

That was outstanding. Arguably the greatest 1/2 pipe comp I've ever seen. What a performance.

It's pairs, not ice dancing.

Figure skating is a bit different than ice dancing.

We need to bring back ski ballet and maybe things will make more sense.

**4matic** · 02-13-2018, 09:22 PM

I thought the pipe looked bumpy. 40 degrees there right now with rain in the forecast. Makes the accomplishment that much greater.

**mock1** · 02-13-2018, 09:23 PM

Dropped him to his knees----FKNA!!

That was pairs. Not ice dancing. I agree with you but pairs is not ice dancing. And for the record I like the ice dancing. Torvill and Dean ftw.

Snowboarding maybe.

Greatest pipe comp was Candide vs. CR, X games 2003.

But yeah, that was awesome.

ETA: what a great juke by the US woman hockey player on the OAR keeper! (didn't catch either name sorry)
