I love hockey and it is the sport I follow the most BUT I can't sit through an entire game of womens hockey, I just have no enthusiasm for it.

I agree the US Curling teams choked today. I watched the end of the mens and just about all the womans. Just some very poor choices and then when they needed a big score it was not their.

Amazing run in the downhill by Lindsey Vonn! Brutally technical course, so many falls

Kreth · 02-17-2010, 01:10 PM

Weird stuff going on with some of the favorites... Petra Majdic from Slovenia, a favorite in the cross-country sprint, managed to wipe out during a training run. She slid off the course (into a ravine!) and apparently landed on a rock.

I missed the race, not sure NBC covered it. Apparently Majdic took Bronze with 4 broken ribs. The bad news: she was supposed to compete in a few more events, but she's done for these Games.

Very disappointed in the US woman's curling team. They did not get the clutch shots and lost to the Germans. The good thing is my daughters became a fan of curling after I had them watch the match.

Shawn White was SICK tonight in the halfpipe!

Kreth · 02-17-2010, 09:31 PM

Lindsey Vonn was pretty impressive, especially when they showed in the replays how she was basically doing her turns on one leg.

's

Did you see Vonn's swimsuit layout she just did?

US leads in medals and golds

You know, NBC is really pissing me off. It was getting late last night, so I saw Shaun White's first run at the half-pipe, but didn't stay up to watch the second. So here I am, searching the internet for a video of it, and every single one I find is pulled due to copyright infringement. They don't have it available on the NBC site. You would almost think NBC is trying to make these olympics as inaccessible as possible.

captain53 · 02-18-2010, 06:57 AM

I normally enjoy the Winter Games but for some reason just can't seem to get interested in them this year.

Not that it will go anywhere, but I sent NBC a email telling them I thought their coverage was very poor and hoped ESPN gets the next contract. Why are we seeing time delayed sports for an Olympics in the same time zone as the US? To watch online you have to download M$ Silverlight and provide your cable TV account information to them, and that aint gonna happen. BUT, they cry and whine when people try to go around all the BS they setup up. I just want to click a link and watch a flash box show a sport in real time. Not hard to do for any 11th grader in high school.

There's only so much room, and they have all that brilliant commentary from Katie Couric and Mary Carillo (who I'm pretty sure was a man at some point).

Do you guys know if the games can be watched online legally? If not NBC needs to get with the times, they could show any event live that way.
