2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi

Opening ceremony in 90 minutes, I totally expect this to happen:

The official Lotus F1 twitter account posted "Ahead of the opening ceremony, we would like to wish all athletes a successful 2014 Olympic Winter Games" and then a picture of two dudes passionately kissing \o/

Fucking loved it during that brief moment where they played the Eduard Khil/Trololo music \o/

We'll boss this as per usual.

Raced some of the guys in the long track competition before

Why Norway owns the winter games

Similar to Kenya and Marathon runners, RadioLab did a whole show about the region and tribe that the majority of the Kenyan runners come from.

Silje Norendal, i think i'm in love

Some of the judging in the snowboarding seems farce.

And the BBC commentator fully celebrating when the last woman fell was laughable

Wasn't that "commentator" a snowboarder off the GB team?

I fucking love the Ski Jump. Used to always watch it on Eurosport when I was younger

No idea was some dumb woman, who screemed yes when the last girl fell

And Ski Jump is class indeed

Yeah, they got your one's teammate in to do some commentary or whatever

It was the other girl on our snowboarding team who got knocked out in the Semi's so pretty understandable.

Shaun White Fell! Twice :O

What a finish to the Pipe! White takes it surely?!

Wow, not even on the podium. Fairplay to him though, took it graciously.

Shame how shit the pipe was though, kind of ruined the spectacle abit

White had to congratulate Podladtchikov. His last run was flawless and using the new move he calls Yolo Flip was just amazing. That 15 year old though surely has a bright future

YOLO Flip

I have seen exactly 0 minutes of Olympics since the opening ceremony. That'll change tomorrow night as the hockey finally starts \o/

Curling...womens GBR destroy USA 12-3

Watching Erik Karlsson play is just great, great fun. Amazing player.

Oh, and this is awesome:

Teemu Selanne will play on Finland's top line alongside Aleksander Barkov. Selanne already had 123 NHL goals before Barkov was born.

The ice conditions must be one of the worst in Winter Olympics history. So many falls resulting from ice chips in Short Track, and in some hockey games the puck wouldn't stop bobbling ffs. You'd think the ice will be much better using some of that $50 billion spent.

Absolutely ridiculous that the Canadian and Korean Relay teams didn't advance because of falls due to bad ice, they would've been gold-silver for sure. Also a bit ticked that a Korean women skater got bronze for a sure-golden race because of an absolute joke of a British skater, don't know what the hell she was thinking there.

You're a moron. Your 'Joke of a British Skater' is a European and World Cup champion. Was a race incident, she went for a gap and it was just as much her fault as the Italians who hit her as she was passing. And there was very slight contact with the Korean in front, especially compared to some of the short track racing

Yeah, shut up you mong. She went for a gap that clearly wasn't hers to take and what do you think Fontana would do, just let her pass? It obviously doesn't work like that. Fontana hit the corners first and gained her lane, and Christie invaded it. It was Christie's mistake and with the sacrifice of Park and Fontana who clearly should've went gold-silver.

I have no idea what the two of you are arguing about, so the only thing I can think of seeing this discussion is that Ayrton Senna quote about not being a racing driver if you don't go for a gap.

Well I think in Christie's case she went for a gap that was not really there as the Italian basically took up that supposed "gap". It was just a try at a wall basically if you see the replay. Anyways, I'm over it now.
