Olympics 2018

I wasn’t aware of any ickiness about Shaun White, thanks for mentioning it. I am upset to see Bode Miller as a commentator. After his horrible behavior towards the mother of their child, he should be banished to another universe. I’ll have to watch Alpine skiing on mute.

Aaaaand women’s slalom is postponed until Friday. rip.

The pair from Italy just showed that humor on ice can be done well! :slight_smile:

Alexa is so cute and so bubbly. Makes me smile. :wink:

" he wants to cheer for the old fart"

He’s only 31! :slight_smile: But, yeah, he’s been around forever.

Ewww… so disappointed in Shaun… had no idea.

The Swedish skier obliterated the competition. She deserved that medal. Disappointed that our skiers’ dry spell has not ended yet.

Glad Shaun White got put on the hot seat- I had no idea either and am so not a fan now.

I read this morning that at the USOC news conference, he dismissed it as ‘gossip’ and brushed the question away.

The details of what he did are disgusting.

USA women’s curling is getting creamed by Japan. Score is 9-5!!!

Japan’s strategies have gotten the best of the US!

After the horror of today, the pairs figure skating is a respite.

I like seeing that the Canadian women’s hockey team is coached by a woman.

I also like that some of the female pairs skaters aren’t feeling obligated to wear dresses.

Such a beautiful performance by the German pairs couple! So lovely!

I wish there were more than one gold medal for the pairs’ figure skaters.

OMG, the Chinese pair is under such tremendous pressure!

I can’t believe the pairs ended up being so close!

Wow, such emotion from the 3 teams , and hugging, and crying! I even got teary!

Wow, fifth time is the charm! Amazing. (I’ve got a soft spot for German skating - having lived in Munich for five years.)

I love the women not having to wear skirts too.

What an amazing evening of skating! So happy for the German woman to finally get her gold! And thrilled for Megan and Eric to get the bronze on their final competitive skate!

The German team’s reaction is priceless. Both just completely dissolved in tears.

And the Attacking Vikings take gold and silver in the men’s DH with Feuz in third! Aksel finally did it!
