Winter Olympic Games 2018 (50)


lv Gipsons >> zaterdag februari 10 - 12:16

So, who is watching?

Which sports will you follow and who is Your Country favorite for the medal or high place in any sports?

We are hoping for a medal in mens skeleton from Martins Dukurs.

Our ice hockey team lost to Germany and did not qualify for the tournament.

I will be watching biathlon, bobsleigh and skeleton.

Opening ceremony was very good, apart from the dodgy knock off John Lennon lol.

The Luge. The only sport in the world where a corpse can compete.

Skeleton you go down the chute on a McDonalds tray head first, Luge you plunge to your death feet first I think. Or it's the other way round.

Brazil has 10 athletes but they go only to partipate haha, we have a chance of top 15 in 4men bobsled and in snowboard with Isabel Clark, that have the best result of Brazil in winter olimpic games, a 9th place.

We get to see Pavel Datsyuk skate with Russia in the Olympics! In my eyes, he’s one of the best hockey players who’s ever lived.

Simen Hegstad Krueger. What a story at skiathlon. He crashed at the start and had to replace his ski poles, falling way behind. He kept on going, caught up with the leading group, then pulled away from them with 5 kilometers to go. Nobody caught him, and he won the gold from starting pretty much dead last.

Incredible stuff.

@Peter It's hard to give Datsyuk proper credit because Detroit has a history of having Legendary players.  If he had played elsewhere, most people would regard him as one of the best 2 way Forwards to ever play.

He might not even be in the top 3 Russian born Red Wings lol.

As for the Olympics, I don't go out of my way to watch anything but I'll watch anything fast paced like skiing/snowboarding, skeleton and luge and I also like the biathalon.

Tommorrow starts Men's Ice Hockey. I'll support USA, and I'll also follow Finland and maybe Canada.

I sound really Canadian when the sport that I've watched the most is Curling. smile
