2022 Beijing Winter Olympics

[shadow_operative2.0 15982]

Starts Wednesday afternoon at 5 Central on USA with mixed doubles curling between us & the Aussies. 

Opening Ceremony isn’t until Friday morning at 5:30 on NBC. 

Mikaela Shiffrin is hot. 

[perfectchaos007 6642]

I never found Lindsay Vonn to be as hot as the media wanted her to be (Tiger Woods fell for it though). Shiffrin is a smoke show as advertised 🥵 

I’m looking forward to watching Chloe Kim as well

[Napoleon 8679]

Will not be watching much, if any, but I hope that everyone gets laid.

Hopefully intermingling is allowed with all the strict covid protocols. Porn is also banned/blocked in China. There could be a lot of sexual frustration at these Olympics

Googled Lolo Jones last night to see if she was still alive, didn’t make the bobsled cut.

[shadow_operative2.0 15982]

And here we go. USA has pretty much non-stop action until 7 tomorrow night on NBC. 

[Hook1997 5354]

Watched a doc on Peekaboo Street on peacock the other night, it was pretty good.  

[Buzzrock 14920]

Damn I already missed a curling match. Beat Italy!

[shadow_operative2.0 15982]

Our mixed team appears to kind of suck. 

[Buzzrock 14920]

These mixed doubles teams all have to be boning right?

[shadow_operative2.0 15982]

Skiing training runs ain’t real exciting.

Yea they lost to freaking Australia…. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15982]

No, they came back to win that one but lost to Italy. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15982]

US Ladies hockey v. Finland now. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15982]

Finland ain’t good.

Eyetalian girl kinda cute.

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

I only very recently found all the Kevin Hart/Snoop summer olympic clips.  Tears of laughter from me.  If they wind up doing some Winter Olympics somebody let me know.

Curling…

It is like Quidditch on ice.

[shadow_operative2.0 15982]

NBC has live coverage for 4 hours now. 

[Droopy 2626]

Watching the 🥌 ITA v NOR. It’s been good so far and the ITA girl is cute, in a homely sort of way.

I had/have an Italian amiga from my first year in Argentina (classmate at a Spanish language institute) who spelled her name “Stefania”. (Probably 4’8” tall)

This Stephonia above has major Wicked Witch chin potential, not that I knew that was a thing before this profile shot.

I could be spelling it wrong, but the point is huuuuuu......

I was thinking that it was a regional spelling, which would be more of an American thing (or Spanish with Basque, Catalan, Castilian…), but it turns out…

That name screams ITALIAN!

[Al Bundy's Napoleon Hand 13585]

That's Amore!

[WBT 20572]

These Canadians ending every strategy suggestion with eh? is perfectly on brand.

[Telegraph_it 3357]

Haha awesome. Russian ice skate chick almost ran into the American ice skater and he looked to tap that ass as she went by. 
 

That will start WW3. 

[Vito Andolini 9126]

Russian chick is hot, dude wasn’t up to snuff. USA should be in first.

[Guest Lobo]

So are we, as a nation, just not gonna talk about the anus snowflake?

Curling is the greatest winter sport ever. It makes me a little sad that I can only care every 4 years and I’m going to miss a solid 10 days if it as I’m taking my family to Disney. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15982]

NBC owns a network literally named Olympic Channel (624 on Direct), yet it doesn’t appear there will be a single second of live sports on it during these Games. Impressive. 

[WBT 20572]

They also shutdown NBCSN just in time for the olympics.  I don't get it.

[shadow_operative2.0 15982]

Believe Olympic Channel was solely used for tennis during Tokyo, but might as well do something similar here.

@WBT They had some other events on there also.  Everything that isn’t on USA or NBC is on the Peacock app now so they make sure you subscribe…

Why are they making these women carrying the country name signs walk around the whole stadium holding it up like that? Do they not have poles in China?

I kinda dig the cute Elsa outfits though. 

[tokamak 6430]

Costumes ain’t nearly as interesting in the winter parade of nations. No Tongan beefcake or cool traditional stuff from Africa.

[Hook1997 5354]

I hope we can get back to having fans in 2024, watching the events without fans just isn’t the same.  

[tokamak 6430]

Being a sideline dancer for this is the worst job at the entire Olympics. Three hours of nonstop fake enthusiasm. Always reminds me of the people at the party in Groundhog Day.

Opening ceremonies are interesting to watch. It be cool to be the only Olympian from your country.

Yup, always an interesting watch. Been a nice job so far. Bring on the games!

[Nicole44 22060]

Colombia has cool outfits.

Women’s slopestyle snowboard qualifying live on USA now. 

[dcbc 14484]

These opening ceremonies are trippy as shit.

[OrangEngr 1035]

That opening ceremony was WILD

[Jambon 176]

China should do all opening ceremonies. 

[elfenix 34240]

I don’t watch enough curling to remember the scoring from the last time I watched curling
