Mikek That is why I record this stuff. I can fast forward over things I don't care about. Curling is interesting for a little while but I am not going to spend the evening watching it. The biathalon is interesting too. Those boys and girls can shoot, all the while cross country skiing. There is no shooting between heartbeats when your heart rate is 150-160. I didn't mind seeing that arrogant French guy drop his last 2 shots and lose. I also like watching the snowboard and some of the alpine stuff. The skeleton is just nuts.. They are belly whopping head first on tiny little sleds hitting 80MPH or more. Agreed on the Frenchman. My Dutch friend thought it was funny and appropriate that this 'hero' missed so many shots! It was really only 2 on the gold run but it was the last 2. I think he was already writing his comments for the TV interview and forgot he had not won yet. Fourcade is not that good a skier but he prides himself on his shooting. It was interesting that Boe, the winner missed two also and made up the 2 minutes plus some on his skis. The silver and bronze shot clean. We talked after the first event in which Fourcade missed three shots. I just saw the final of the 20KM. We have 20 hours or so in the can that we have not seen yet. Once you skip over the stuff we don't care about that will go pretty fast. The weather has just been too nice to sit in the house. The USA is working hard to lose to the Russians. Hope that doesn't ruin your viewing. |

He's needing attention. Reminds me of those folks on Amazon who answer a question about a product: Question: Will this insert fit my fireplace? Answer: I don't know, I don't have a fireplace. Duh! Yup. Good example. |

Here's part of the reason: https://www.sbnation.com/2018/2/17/1...-olympics-2018 Vonn made a big boo, boo at the end of her run. She was probably thinking about her absence if and when Trump invites the team to the White House. I'm sure she'll be making the news then. I wrote a letter to the Olympic committee telling them her anti-Trump antics cost them any more contributions as long as she's on the team. |

I wrote a letter to the Olympic committee telling them her anti-Trump antics cost them any more contributions as long as she's on the team. I am not really watching the hockey. I will admit that when the top 13 places in the super G are separated by a fraction of a second, it does not take much of a mistake to be on the wrong side of that. I watched the recording and it is hard to even see that mistake. NBC CGIed Vonn running with Ledecka and she could have hit Ledecka with a ski pole at the finish if they were running together. Even "Rocky and Bulwinkle" (Ragnhild MOWINCKEL) was inside that one second margin at 0.89 back. These skiers were all very well matched. |

Vonn went way right of the line (outside the blue) and had to come back in for the next flag. Probably only cost her a couple tenths of a second, but like you say, they were all close. |

We saw the preliminary hockey game USA - Canada. First hockey game I ever saw. I was in Explorer Scouts and someone donated a bunch of tickets. So we went. Clear and cold. Did not have good boots for the snow and even with extra socks, feet froze. Our group made the TV as we cheered for all the ladies, no matter what country, in the figure skating competition. |
