Congratulations to the USA Olympic Curling team on winning the gold. ????

Wow!  They won gold.

 

Canada has to be a nation collectively in the fetal position right about now.  First hockey, now shuffleboard on ice.

One of the benies of being retired is that I can stay up late and watch live.   If the US wins (and maybe if it doesn't), NBC should have the highlights of the game on later tomorrow.

I haven't watched one second and I am up all night. :P

 

Olympics don't do it anymore... Outside of National Pride.  All spoiled athletes.  I know, rough... Is what it is.

The curling match was great!  For those who want to watch the replay at a more normal time, I won't give any details on how the US won.  All I will say is that it was worth staying up all night to watch.  If you want to read about it: US Men Win Curling Gold!

 

Women's bronze medal curling game (Japan vs Britain) is today, and women's gold medal match (South Korea vs Sweden) is tomorrow.

USA! USA! USA!

 

The match actually was starting as I was going to bed around 11:30 last night -- I caught Mr. T's awesome pre-match phone call -- and the replay was on when I woke up, so avoided the web (and this thread).  What a great match --- the 5 pointer was epic.   This an the girls' hockey were the highlights of the Games.

Suck it up Snowflakes.  Be thankful you are not from N.Korea.  They punish 3 generations there.  O committee is going easy.

No sympathy here, but I did like the hockey team showing the balls to just sing their anthem anyway.

For me the Women's gold medal hockey game was epic. The finish to the ladies cross country relay was incredible as well. Those are two memorable moments that come to mind. I wish I could  unsee and hear that horrible singing and dancing from tonight though.

I haven't heard a word about that Davis guy who was so pissed about not being the flag bearer.  How did he do these Olympics?

A shame he wasn't the bearer, such a shining example of good sportsmanship.:lol:

I thought I saw an article that said he even flew back before the closing ceremony but I can not find it now. I did find this....

I loved these Olympic games, they were fun to watch and it looked like an absolutely beautiful area.  I know there was a lot of criticism over such announcers as Bode Miller and Johnny Weir, but I enjoyed both of them and their insights into the events they covered.
