Winter Olympics 2022
Less than 100 days to go, NBC is airing commercials with the Bangles version of "A Hazy Shade of Winter".
Another case of not listening to the lyrics or was it intentional?
Anyway... Go USA Hockey, beat the canucks.

Stoked about the level of talent on the both men's and women's freestyle team (bumps, park and pipe). Speed team has some real good opportunities too and looking forward to Shiffrin competing in up to 5 events.

Given the venues that have hosted the Winter Olympics since since 2014, it is hard for me to take the games seriously. South Korea, China, Russia. Not the best hosts for alpine events

Well the home team's probably a lock on what they call "aerials" these days.. Gymnastics on skis.. Respect the difficulty and risks they take, but seems weird that most of them can't ski any better than I do.
US is overdue for downhill gold, mens or womens, either would be cool..Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

Yeah, Chinese aerialists have pretty much been on lock for years. It's like they took their diving team and gave them skis.

gold in women's Downhill in 2010 - twice before that - ever.
it would be nice to see MS win multiple medals, but it is the Olympics

I talked to a ski guy who had done consulting in China, he said they would build a swimming pool with no dressing rooms

Feel like it’s a buzzfeed link. “Ten things you didn’t know about Chinese pool building! Number 3 will blow your mind!”

well buddy was a ski resort consultant so he pointed out they were trying to be all modern and western but would forget things we would take for granted like swimming pool change rooms

Isn’t the usual reason for poor Olympic construction that the unbuilt thing is actually a yacht in the Mediterranean or a Cypriot bank account?

I guess they were trying to establish a luxury resort atmosphere, but would forget to build changing rooms in the pools at the ski resort hotels ??
But holy shit that first post was a non-sequitor

They need to add Julia Mancuso to the broadcast team with Bode, Johnny Moseley, Johnny Weir, etc...
