Russian figure skater's positive drug test after winning gold in team event delays medal ceremony: report
https://www.foxnews.com/sports/russi...medal-ceremony |
What the Russian's tested positive for drugs?
I suppose the next breaking news you are going to tell me is that Water is Wet. |
Legalize PEDs, it's time.

Russia is other worldly when it comes to state sponsored cheating. It shouldn't be rewarded. I bet china is up there as well. |
How long is this downhill ?
Just looked it up. 2 miles. They're running about 1:40 mins or so. That is hauling ass. |

If you think the American athletes aren't cheating, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn I want to sell you. |
I'm always into the Olympics. Record all day and then catch up at night. Makes for a rough couple of weeks, sleep wise, but it's worth it. Really love the Biathlon and Cross Country events. Told my wife, that if Jessie Diggins comes calling, it's been a great run and it's nothing personal.

Ayumu Hirano just put down one of the best halfpipe runs I’ve ever seen and he got a 2nd place score. This might be one of the worst judges decisions in the history of the Olympics. Hopefully it doesn’t rob him of the gold. He definitely earned it. It almost seems like they’re keeping it low just for Shaun White to be able to beat his score on his final run.

The only thing I can think of was they didn’t like the amplitude. But the mf’er landed a ****ing triple. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Thankfully he nailed that again and they got a chance to correct it. The American judge was just hopeful that Shaun White could pull off a massive final run I think and knew even a massive run at his age couldn’t beat a 96. It’s a bad look for that judge for sure. Thankful it ended up not costing him an Olympic gold. That was a really impressive run. To do it twice with the pressure on was even more impressive.
|
Can't help but think that the U.S. is so cucked by China that their judges would **** a Japanese competitor on behalf of the glorious Winnie the Pooh.
|
Meh, all worked out in the end. Aren’t the lowest and highest scores canceled anyway? So the US score didn’t count…….just not a great look
|
The half-pipe last night was the best watch of the Olympics so far. I'm glad the kid nailed his third run to get the gold. He definitely deserved it. I love the fact that all the boarders go for gold and don't really care if they fall. Nobody seems to take a safe run for bronze.

NBC’s Winter Olympics Ratings Are Heading Toward a Historic Low
An average of 12.3 million nightly viewers per day have watched the Winter Olympics on Comcast Corp.’s NBCUniversal TV and streaming channels through Feb. 8. That compares with about 23 million viewers at the same point for the 2018 games in PyeongChang, South Korea, according to an NBC spokesman. NBC anticipated about 40% fewer viewers than four years ago and cut its ad rates by a similar amount, according to people familiar with the matter. The network was trying to avoid what happened during the Tokyo games last summer, when the ratings fell below what it had guaranteed. That hurt NBC’s potential revenue because the broadcaster had to give additional commercial time to advertisers to make up for the shortfall. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nhl...low/ar-AATHFTl |

I know the NHL had planned on it this time around, but I've never really read into why it's such a big ****ing deal... I assume the vast majority of players want to play in the Olympics, and what amounts to All Star teams is the best thing in sports (granted, Canada should get two teams). I just default to blaming Bettman every time it doesn't happen. :cuss: |
They call Wayne Gretzky "the great one" even though he ONLY has four fights in his entire NHL career. I'm not impressed. Here's the one where #99 thought he was a bad ass ROFL https://youtu.be/oeTFM_HUass->

The schedule was already going into late April with the Olympic break... I'm sure they could have put a bit more effort into making up games though. Overall though, there are always weeks/months of negotiations and crap, so I wasn't surprised they were so quick to pull the plug on it. :( |
Make fun of curling all you want, but damn how do you frantically whip that Swiffer side to side while leaning hard on it and sliding down the ice in a pair of Nikes without hitting the stone with the Swiffer, or hitting any other stones or sliding into a stone. Skills.

Why so much coverage of this Shiffrin chick? She's getting buried in every event.

Well, they're not quite Nikes like the kind you or I wear, but curling does take significant skill. I usually record and FF to the last few ends but I do like a good US Olympic curling match. |

She's a complete head case right now. She's back skiing but seems tentative to push the boundaries like she normally does. |

I rode a couple lifts with a guy who's niece skiid with her from the time she was 2 years old. His sister is really good friends with the family and said she's just about then nicest person you'll ever meet.
And evidently that little town she's from (Edwards) used to be little more than a trailer park on the outskirts of Vail before it turned into a little suburb a few years back. Shiffrin and River Radamus are both from that same little 'burb. Shiffrin is getting a lot of press because she's absolutely DOMINATED women's downhill for the last several years and everyone likes her. And she's a good story. Unfortunately she imploded. It doesn't detract from her greatness, but yeah - it's been a pretty catastrophic Olympics for her. |

Her interviews are sweet. She seems to genuinely try to answer every question as thoroughly as possible and 100% from the heart. Nice kid she is.

NBC needs to lose their broadcast rights the next time it is up. The graphics are dated, and the broadcasts look like nothing has changed in 20 years. Why are they not partnering with AWS to show meaningful stats, speeds, etc is beyond me. Every other sports broadcast is doing this. I assume NBC is not because there is no competition for broadcasting the olympics.

I have no clue how the USA had a german soccer coach for so long. It's such bullshit. Coaches, players. All should have to be American. Same for any other country, otherwise, what are we even doing here? Why put a nation on the jersey? |

He wasn’t an athlete representing their country. Their are numerous American coaches, coaching teams all over the world abs Vice versa. The athletes themselves aren’t coaches. |
I like these semi amateur hockey players. Love these games. I was raised that the Olympian’s were all amateurs which made watching the games so fun. Once all the “pro” athletes took over, it was just another weekend of mostly meaningless sports
But if the make women’s biathlon and Curling a bikini sport, they have my attention lol |
Men's hockey team shits itself in the quarter finals. Gives up the tying goal with under a minute left and then has 5 players take a bunch of vanilla shots in the shootout to lose 3-2

When you can just become a free agent of any country - then get a sham citizenship just to play for them - the whole playing for your country thing gets super watered down. If you are born somewhere, citizen somewhere, you play for that team. Period. If you don't like that, you don't have to play in the Olympics or National Teams. Door is always open to any pro team. |

It also sickens me that men coach women in WOMENS basketball & other WOMENS sports. These ****s are just taking away a spot that should go to a qualified women. It's completely asinine. What kind of man would coach girls high school sports? Creeps, mainly. Sure you get some good guys in there, but it's just opening up a can of worms. |

They weren't American citizens at the time but foreign enemies. |

I knew a lady who played for New Zealand softball. Her dad was from NZ. She was born in America. But that loophole allowed her to play for NZ. It makes little sense but that is the world for you. |
Not sure if a double bird is NSFW or not, but we'll put it in the tags just in case.

The Winter Olympics setting (bad) records.
And the night with the most viewership was post-Super Bowl on Sunday… and it still lost 90%+ of the Super Bowl viewership. https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/wp-...zNzY0MGQ.q.png |
My God. 30 hours after a bout of food poisoning, Jessie Diggins becomes the first American to ever win multiple medals in Cross Country by taking the silver in the 30km mass start. What a bad ass!
