OT: Non Hockey Olympic Thread

[WinterEmpire]

Very nice

 

[Cromulence]

I wanted a sweep.

 

[Bgav]

Gold and silver !

 

[VanillaCoke]

Bilodeau had a terrific run!

 

[y2kcanucks]

Ahh I miss 2010. Those were some great moments. Would love to be out there celebrating.

 

[Steveorama]

I wanted a sweep.

Me, too.
I think the Russian got a bit of a "home town bump" in the judging, but he must be thrilled medalling at home, so what the hell.
Gold and Silver works for me.

 

[NoShowWilly]

man those moguls skiers are savages.

 

[The Stig]

Man that was a hell of a run!

 

[y2kcanucks]

Me, too.

Wasn't that controversial though, he had a good run.

 

[The Stig]

Wasn't that controversial though, he had a good run.

And the Canadian who ended in 4th did screw up in his run

Yeah a little bit, not enough for me to cry foul about it though.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Yup. Was hoping he could knock off the Russian, but I even said before the scores came out that he didn't have enough so it was no big surprise.

So happy for Bilodeau though. After almost screwing it up in the first run he finishes with an absolutely dominant run to win gold. No one came close.

 

[Lonny Bohonos]

Thata is the definition of clutch. Shakes off the previous runs and goes out near perfect.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Yeah a little bit, not enough for me to cry foul about it though.

To be honest I thought the Russian beat Kingsbury, so the fact we got silver too gives me confidence that there was no fudgy judging.

 

[luongo321]

Bilodeau's final run was insane. I felt bad for the Russian bronze medalist who had to stand and take pics with the other two. You could tell he wanted to leave after a bit.

proud of that boy

 

[The Poacher]

One of my favorite events to watch, that gold medal run was near flawless.

 

[BeardyCanuck03]

Bilodeau was a Canadian Hero going into these games, he is now a Canadian Legend!!!!

Kingsbury is only 21 too, he'll be a favourite in 2018. Gagnon who finished 4th is 22 as well.

Yup...as the coach said, this is the golden age of Canadian Moguls Skiiing.

 

[McHortton]

Netherlands 1-2-3 sweep in Speed Skating... Super Impressive. Jumping up to first in Medals with 10 and 4 golds :O

Yup, Kingsbury, Bilodeau, the Dufour-Lapointe sisters.

Not quite, that sweep got them to 3 gold 7 total medals, tied with Canada.

Oh good , I must've watched a replay then.

Canada on top by having more silver (tie-breaker).

Dang, Dara Howell in Women's Slopestyle Skiing though
