Death From Above Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 When did curling teams all get so young? When I was a kid, all the Brier winners were middle-aged chubby guys. Hot curling chicks led to younger guys getting into curling? Stacy's mom has got it going on after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Is no one else disturbed by a tiny Eastern European girl in a red dress skating to the theme from SCHINDLER'S LIST? Come on, now, people. I know skaters lack irony but COME ON, NOW, PEOPLE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pipGofern Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Caught the end of that Canada-Germany curling match as I was getting up. The baseball analogy is apt as it was like a game where neither bullpen could shut the other team down so nobody can ever manage to pull away for long. Other observations: Wouldn't surprise me if one of the Canadian curlers got nabbed for PEDs. Good grief are they jacked. Also, while it's nice to see an old guy in the Oympics, the German skip totally looks like a villain from a Diehard movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Heh. We nearly had a Janet Jackson moment at the Olympics.. as a russian speedskater, exhausted after a 3,000 meter skate that would end up getting her the bronze medal, was overheating and unzipped her suit down to the belly button to get some air... while she was on the track She quickly realized the faux pas and zipped back up.

At one point after when Germany was down by 3, he took out all of Canadas stones, turned to the camera, smiled and winked (his admittedly dreamy baby blue eyes) like "don't worry, I got this."

Robert S Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Downhill skiing is always life threatening. Hell you could probably make a case that it's one of the 5 most dangerous sports on earth. Those people have absolutely no fear. Downhill skiing is dangerous but not that dangerous. The last fatality was, I think, 18 years ago. As a comparison in 2012 there were two fatilities in freestyle skiing. Not to talk about motorsports... Ski jumping might also look stupid and there are bad injuries happening from time to time but casulties are a really rare thing. In 2008 a young German died and after that you have to go back 30 years to get a fatality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
