Re: Anyone catch the Winter Olympics opening cerom

IMHO - & I'm no skater - Kwan's never had the heart to take the gold...whenever I've watched her, she always seems to pull up a little short - her jumps aren't as good as others' jumps, her guts aren't as gutsy, etc...she should've let the better skaters go to the games this year...as it is, we're now playing catch up because of her...again, IMHO for what its worth

Kwan is our version of Elvis Stojko.

Re: Anyone catch the Winter Olympics opening cerom

Re: Anyone catch the Winter Olympics opening cerom

burn outs and brodies rule, especially since they probably smoked the clutch on that thing. great noise too.
 
Re: Anyone catch the Winter Olympics opening cerom

Re: Anyone catch the Winter Olympics opening cerom

Anyone remember which Olympics it was when they lit the torch and then released pigeons that flew into the flames and plumetted in small balls of fire?

Re: Anyone catch the Winter Olympics opening cerom

What's with this 'curling' thing? Is that a real sport?
 
Re: Anyone catch the Winter Olympics opening cerom

curling is an olympic event?

I always thought it was just a bunch of old scotish guys throwing rocks.
 
Re: Anyone catch the Winter Olympics opening cerom

Very smooth, heavy, symmetrical rocks tho... and with HANDLES!
 
Re: Anyone catch the Winter Olympics opening cerom

Women with brooms....hehehehe
 
Re: Anyone catch the Winter Olympics opening cerom

..and all on ICE!

High Entertainment.
 
Re: Anyone catch the Winter Olympics opening cerom

... I remember it was an exhibition sport at the Calgary Olypmics(?) they finally let it in as an official sporting event in the Olympics now?

I like to think of it as teem shuffle board ON ICE!
 
Re: Anyone catch the Winter Olympics opening cerom

I'm sitting here watching it now - talk about boring!
 
Re: Anyone catch the Winter Olympics opening cerom

...like I said....
 
Re: Anyone catch the Winter Olympics opening cerom

Its almost like watching billiards on TV
 
Re: Anyone catch the Winter Olympics opening cerom

oh... I dunno... women's billiards has it's moments... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
 
Re: Anyone catch the Winter Olympics opening cerom

You know, some of those curling babes are on in age....did you see the team from Denmark? &, is it true that the only athletes Denmark sent to the games are the women curlers?
 
Re: Anyone catch the Winter Olympics opening cerom

dunno... 'aven't been watchin' the Olympics really. Been movin' n stuff. I may tune in for the men's Hockey games though.
 
Re: Anyone catch the Winter Olympics opening cerom

Yup. Five of 'em if I counted right.
 
Re: Anyone catch the Winter Olympics opening cerom

maybe they have things to do there that are better than playing winter sports in their youth? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
