Who's watching?
Was stoked to find out that NBC is streaming all Hockey live online.... glad I got my HTPC set up and working!
Too bad all the other sports will be tape delayed and crammed with athlete profiles which will leave us with probably 10 minutes of actual coverage of the events. Hopefully whoever gets the contract for coverage after NBC goes back to the old day of all day and night coverage except for breaks for the local/national news.
i will be. Big Olympics fan, more the winter than summer games.
Didn't get off to a great start :(
RIP to the Luger from Georgia who died this afternoon during a practice run.
Very unfortunate about Nodar Kumaritashvili. Definitely opens the games on a low note.

I also hear they are trucking in snow, BC isn't getting the snowfall they expected.
That said though I do enjoy the winter olympics far more than the summer olympics, I'm a huge hockey fan.
The article I have read are saying they made that track to fast and its near impossible to control your sled at 90 plus mph.
I need to search the internet and find out what the speeds of the previous tracks were.
Apparently there were two injury's because of the fast track right before Nodar Kumaritashvili death =( RIP
everyone interviewed was concerned about the speeds on that track. some say you could easily hit 90 mph. supposedly it's the fastest track in the world.
I saw the clip of his wreck on NBC right when the coverage started... Brutal crash. Sad thing was NBC kept showing it over and over... It's definitely a tragedy and an awful way to start the winter olympics. RIP Nodar Kumaritashvili, your life was too short at 22.
There's no news like bad news. :-\
Missed the opening ceremony since I was working. Guess I'll be youtubing it.

I didn't see any relay events...but the 1500m short track races were awesome! [thumbsup]
edit: removed luge post since it's in that thread now.
Maybe we should add a spoiler alert to the title?
I am not sure if these are streamed at the same time from EST to PST.
I loved watching the moguls last night.
I think it sucks Apolo is getting more press than Hannah Kearney, the first US Gold Medal winner.
She kicked ass in the moguls.
I know Apolo tied the record for most US Medals, but Hannah got the first gold [thumbsup]
and
Apolo got lucky as make the beast with two backs those Koreans took each out.

I don't know...part of the reason they took each other out was because Apolo was on their asses pushing hard. Luck is often earned.
Agreed it sucks the girl isn't getting more press though.

Agreed he was on their ass, but still no reason to get taken out and how would they even know that?
I don't know.........I think the kid got incredibly lucky.
but again........that is all part of sports in general. Luck is well......luck. It can go either good or bad.
Definitely went good for this kid [thumbsup]
Yeah, Hannah got screwed. She threw down one hell of a make the beast with two backsing run.
I hear Shawn White is planning a new trick during the half pipe.
How could he do anything to possibly beat that 1260 flip whatever trick he does?

Yup. They've been trucking in snow for the past month. Temperatures hit 57 degrees Fahrenheit yesterday. This past January was the warmest on record. Not very wintery at all, in fact flowers are blooming.

Here's a link to watch the Olympics live:

The men's and women's mogul events were both awesome. The men's event coverage was crap, though. At least for the women they showed more than just the Americans and the top four competitors. I hate that highlight style coverage. I don't need to hear about the hardships and trials and see the talking heads constantly. Show the competition - how hard is that?
Don't bother watching it on NBC. It's done in highlight style. Perhaps as the Games progress, they'll start showing events in their entirety.

yeah, you're not gonna get full events on NBC... if you want the full event coverage, track down your sports on the sister networks.
NBC's coverage is a disgrace to the games. More advertising than anything, and the goddamn Dreamworks commercial that they intro about how snowboarding used to be back in prehistoric times just pisses me off now. WTF.
I also haven't found the games at all on any other channel. Oh well. What else is new with US TV...in 10 years even the shows will just be one giant commercial. [puke]

I timed it at one point for a 15min period; Four minutes of actual olympic competition, Seven minutes of paid commercials and Four minutes of NBC self promoting.
I have a proposition for the IOC: death penalty for all ice skaters who fall on a jump. It saves us the agony of pity-watching the rest of the routine, and listening to the platitudes of the commentators as they try to put a slightly different spin on the "trained for 18 years only to fall on their face in front of the entire galaxy" narrative. Just a sniper shot to the head, and a zamboni pass over the puddle of blood during commercial.
Sanguine fantasies aside, when are they going to update ice skating? It is looking and sounding more like a variety show from the 60s with the spangled one-armed unitards and garish piano music and clown makeup.

Thanks. [thumbsup] I knew about USA (just missed the airing)...but not about the others.
So when did Bob Kostas turn 23? I figure it's worth watching just to see if the stitches rip or the black hair dye starts to run under the hot studio lights...
I can't wait for the curling!!
Just to add to the pregnant doging about NBC, as a former X-C skier the event I'd love to see more of, is never shown. Okay so the American's never do well in the nordic events, except jumping, and we never will if we never see it. I move for a little less ice dancing, more X-C, no up close and personals, and less of Bob Kostas interviews (no, make that no Kostas).
As for the death penalty for skaters that fall, I have to say that is a little extreme. I now live in Texas, death penalty central, and we don't do much ice skating here, but I doubt if we would put a skater to death for falling, but ya never know. Maybe we could just end their program after they fall [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

shown all last weekend on, uh, CNBC, i think.
I was just about to kvetch and moan about the lack of biathlon coverage (my favorite), but just checked to find out that it was on today, and just ended a few minutes ago. [bang]
womens curling usa vs japan on CNBC right now...
Missed the curling. Looks like I'll have to catch it later. [thumbsup]
"Men's" ice skating is.. :-X
We just saw the Asian and the french guy (turned Italian). The music was horrible! How long have they been doing the triples now? Show us something new! I realize they're the required moves but it's all the same.
OK ..the Canadian and his musical selection are better.
Johnny Weir next.

No skater has yet accomplished a quadruple Axel in competition.
When the first one hits it..the rest will follow.
Looks like some of them can't even hit a triple tonight.
Just when I thought it couldn't get more ga.. :-X
Corsets and sailors and feathers..oh my!!
LOL..actually, I like watching Weir skate since he brings some flamboyant "pizazz" to the event. [laugh]
Watching mens skeleton practice online in HD right now.
I'm watching it thru my HTPC hooked up to my 42" lcd and I have to say, for an internet feed, it's pretty damn sweet.
Speed skaters rock. [evil]
Davis is make the beast with two backsing amazing. [clap]
Shawn White make the beast with two backsing rocked that shit.
He didn't even need to make his second run.........and even killed his first score.
I met the kid back in 2004. Nice kid. That was before he was Shawn White. I had no idea who he was, a friend told me he was going to be the next big snowboarder.
boy was he right.
I have the picture of him with Shawn, I opted out as I don't take pictures with people I don't know.
I gave up a picture with him for one with the Bachelor Jessie Palmer, now ESPN Football analyst.

How can anyone be so fast and good looking at the same time. I wonder if she is smart too.
Awesome night. I think what I need is less figure skating and more action sports.
I'm looking forward to seeing Apolo race for another medal. There is just something I like about that kid and the sport
of short track. With his attitude he'd be a hell of a linebacker if he was about 6" taller and weighed 150#s more.

Different cultures.
I guess we used to take pic of the dead in caskets here in America 100 years ago. I remember watching a special on it on cable. IIRC..it seems like there were a lot of kid's pictures. :-\
Mens short track reminds me of speedway
Yeah, if they were on morose, instead of man power ;D
I heart the Super-G -- unlike downhill, slalom, moguls, or that flippy thing, I look at Super-G and think "I could do that"
Which, of course, I couldn't.
OH NO ;D

Almost every freakin' time they have an opportunity, they manage to make the beast with two backs it up.

Since I'm a fan of the winter biathlon, I was thinking they could try an indoor variant, combining ice dancing and curling. On the same patch of ice, simultaneously.

Hope so. Though the Canadian team that showed up last night looked a lot tougher. Luongo was solid. We'd have to hope Miller could win the game himself again.
Anyone else think the Koreans was robbed from a gold ???
At first it looks like a shove but there was no shove and it was a skate trip.

Skip to 4:45 - that's where Tremblay reaches down to grab Ohno's skate which apparently causes him to lose it. Hamelin makes some pretty obvious shoving a Korean out of the way gesture. Si-bak grabs for Hamelin's skate has he goes down. Only Ohno is DQed.

I must be whining. NBC pays the IOC for rights to broadcast. Commercials offset NBCs costs. IOC does what with the money? I have no idea, and I don't think anyone else does. (http://money.cnn.com/2004/08/19/commentary/column_sportsbiz/sportsbiz/index.htm) Ad revenue is not going directly to the athletes -and the companies that are advertising and sponsoring are paying out twice, but only some of that money is going to the athletes- if that's what you're getting at. Now that I think of it, what are you getting at?
You're whining. :'( Because you think the money should go elsewhere. Do something about it and quit whining like a little girl. That's what I'm getting at. Or just zip it and move on. :-* Or maybe you work for the Network who pays for all this coverage.

Great game with two great teams. [popcorn] [popcorn]
I'm yelling here but my neighbors don't care cause they're yelling louder than me!
Very fitting for such a game, I think I'm gonna have an aneurysm if it goes to a shoot out.
Miller's keeping them in this OT. Let's see some defense ... Damn, just as I was typing, Canada ends it. Great Game!
:/ Canada was RAINING on miller the whole time.
i dont think the US was ready for a 4 on 4.
Good game. congrats canada.

USA has 37 medals, which is the most ever in Winter Olympics history. USA won gold in Men's bobsled yesterday and won silver in Mens hockey game today. Germany is in second with 30 medals. Canada has finally started to win medals and is now in third with 26 medals.
The last sentence is my favorite. ;D

I wouldn't call him a henchman.
I admit I don't watch NHL hockey anymore.
When I did watch there were a few henchmen around.
O'Reilly...Schultz...to name a couple
None of them had the talent that Crosby has.
You're just bitter. ;D
I am dating myself here........
but I remember the t-shirt you used to be able to buy at Joe Louis Arena.
it had a cross on the front (like the american red cross) and on the back it read:
Give Blood: Fight Probert. (might have a spelling issue)
While I'm sad about the US losing in hockey, at least it was Crosby who ended it (that guy if f*ing amazing!!). I missed the first period, and almost turned it off in the second when the U.S. puck control and defense was HORRIBLE-they just looked FLAT-no passes were on the tape. They turned it around about halfway through the 2nd when they started playing a little more physically and it brought them back into the game.
That was a great hockey game....and a fitting end to a pretty good Olympics. I like winter better than summer (maybe because sliding on ice and snow is faster than people running).
