Anyone Enjoying The Olympics?

[MrsBeez]

I always enjoy watching the Olympics. I like the figure skating, snow boarding, ski jumps etc..anyone have any thoughts about this years games thus far? What are some of your favorite events? Btw I totally cringe when I see these skaters fall. Also I must admit I don't quite understand the sport of curling. So if anyone does please enlighten me.

I loved watching Slopestyle. Watching figure skating now. Winter games are my fave.

A friend of mine had someone from her hometown play Hockey last night. She did very well. Fun to watch!

Watching off and on.

I do enjoythe opening music, something about it makes me giddy.

I'm not much of an ice skating enthusiast, perhaps it's just misplaced jealousy /default_smile.png

Seeing the fire in the eyes of people who have dedicated their lives to any sport, amazing what a human body is capable of...

I won't lie, I LOVE watching people win!

Happy to be a cheerleader from the comfort of my own bed!

Which by the way, sounds like a serious upgrade from some of the less than cozy Sochi accommodations.

Yes love the Olympics.  I am married to a former Olympian.  I could do without all of the freaking commercials.

Yep watched the cross country skiing yesterday and Jesus are those guys absolutely done for when they finish! They all just collapsed in a heap in the snow one by one at the end. Yep there is something magical about the Winter Olympics for sure.

All the best..

Beranda I agree totally about the opening ceremonies. It's a beautiful thing to see. Also funny you mention the hotel accommodations as we were looking at tweets and pics of them last night some of the athletes posted and holy crap!! Jmorgan I agree it's totally cool your spouse was an Olympian! Wow! Plus that ski course they are doing over there is no joke! Saw a lot of the snow boarders fall last night that makes me nervous. 😖

Awesome, bet you're so proud! What an achievement! Mine look like nothing compared to that! Now I can say I know someone that was in the Olympics via virtual friendship! Cool!

Thanks HL.  She is still swimming masters and competing on a national level.  She is hard as a rock and I think she could kick my ass if she wanted to.  Just don't let her know.  Don't need to be sleeping with one eye open at night.

Anyone watching tonight? I'm really enjoying it. Saw the twins win the speed skating. And the story of the Canadian who won gold in Vancouver who said it was for his handicapped brother. Made me all teary eyed. Such feel good stories being told. Reminds me there is good in the world.

US woman's hockey.  They are bad ass!!  Bring home the gold girlz /default_cool.png

 

[MrsBeez]

The women's hockey players are bad ass u are so right! Also @Maybesomedsay I missed a lot last night. Had too much going on in the house but those speed skaters are amazing!! They have such control! I did read about the brother dedicating his medal to his disabled bro and it was very touching. Lots of people are talking about it today at work.

I'm not too impressed this year with the Olympics to be honest...

 

[jmorgan]

Watching them now.  I really thought the US would be a stronger force in the medals.  Oh and the commercials again, WTH?  It's like commercial Olympics!

When I watched snowboarding the other night I feel like almost everyone fell! I know they were complaining about the Pike they use to do their tricks. I guess it must be more difficult than usual maybe bc everyone was busting their butts.
