BF2S Forums Vancouver 2010 - Olympic Discussion Thread.

Finland ain't gonna win shit.

Not that I give a flying monkey's arse, other than to avoid all the useless nationalistic jingoism and pathetic gratitude that people have once again heard the name of our country that invariably accompanies any internationally-winning Finn.

Just watched the men's moguls final, fucking crazy. Dunno how they ski like that ...

Yey for interactive satellite channels showing the Olympics all day!

so i am watching the olympics for some reason and..... cross country skiing?  really?  this is supposed to be exiting?

I was happy to finally see Canaduh win gold at home. Amazed that it took so long tbh.

"Yesterday Canadian Alexandre Bilodeau won a gold medal in men's mogul skiing. This was Canada's first home gold, and if we've learned anything from Bob Costas, that's like a really big deal."

The olympics is full of boring sports. It's got curling FFS!

o.. u might not be able to watch that

Canadian silver in mens boardercross... don't know what happened he had a huge lead, didn't see him hit anything that should have slowed him down, but there was a bad angle for the shot of the jump where Seth Wescott passed him...

Fun to do with your friends every once in a long while, but most of the people I have known to compete in it, were either not skilled enough or to old to make it in a freestyle discipline. On a side note, the first FIS sancitoned slopestyle event happened recently, maybe we will see it in the next Olympics as a demonstration.  It is the best snowboarding event anyways.

Eh... At first I read bordercross and was like wtf, that ain't no US-Mehiko border, where's the sport in that?!

meh women's hockey is rubbish. It's so totally one-sided it's pathetic and a totally crappy spectator sport. For next time they need to do something about upping the game of every other country 'cept USA and Canada (maybe Finland too heh) otherwise they should just get out of the olympics, there's enough rubbish in there already imo.

lol thanks

Seriosuly, it's no fun and not interesting if it's not competitive. totally pointless. also make winning pretty unsatisfying i'd imagine. hammering crap opposition? It'd be like England playing the Faroe Islands in the football world cup and being really happy about winning. bit sad tbh.

Ok, so what's the point in men's hockey then, like the games
Canada - Norway
USA - Switzerland.

Oh, I bet they're going to be good games to watch.. I reckon the numers are going to be 3-2 for Canada and 1-0 for USA, don't you think?
I think the numbers might easily be 10 - 1 just like in women's hockey yet the players are happy about the wins.
Now, saying to me that women's hockey is not fun or interesting is not the right thing to do. You might aswell go shoot yaself in the foot while you're at it.
