[Power Man]

I only watch hockey during the WInter Olympics TBH

I really dont care about all those other sports

That young Russian girl is putting on a show

But the ****ing TVAsports guy is ruining everything by screaming like a madman during the performance


Idiot

 

[HomaridII]

Watching the interview with the sisters on CBC, good luck trying to beat them in the next few years, lol.

Oh and they are close to Jenn Heil!

Erik Guay's competition is at 2AM, Alex Harvey's at 5AM.

Our better medal chances today?

Canada's almost certain to win a medal in the team figure skating competition. Women's slopestyle as well. Spencer O’Brien qualified 3rd.

Awesome!

On NBC they said Justine is the youngest ever freestyle skying gold medalist.

And Bjorndalen became the oldest gold medalist in an individual event.

Maxence Parrot was robbed man... top 3 performance for sure on his 2nd run, amazing run... wow.

Preach. I'm still bitter about that one

Cleaned up the thread title a bit. Made it more... official...

So happy for the sisters this afternoon. Must be an incredible feeling to finish on the podium along side your sister. There was also another sister in the finals, imagine if all 3 of them made the podium?

And then, imagine Robichaud 4th

Would have been the greatest Canadian performance in a single event, ever.

And Bjorndalen became the oldest gold medalist in an individual event.

Ian Millar will beat that by 30+ years in Rio.

Sad Big Ben had to die though. What a horse :-(

I can relate. I finished second place with my brother, in the 3 legged race when I was 9.

Me too, I was runner-up for student of the week when I was 8.

Because I was nice and everyone else was a ******* except that weird girl that smelled like pee. Actually, the fact she smelled like pee was the reason everyone else was a *******. She won the award, by the way. Got a pencil and an eraser. I got sweet **** all except the rink all to myself because everyone else was grounded for recess for the week.

Pee Girl would come and watch me play hockey with myself... she was my first rink rat...



I MISS YOU PEEPEE!!

 

[Phil Parent]

I've just seen the last period of Canada VS Switzerland. I don't think I've ever seen a team dominated so badly without allowing a goal than the Swiss in that period.

Florence Schiller is truly something special.

That is weird.

That is weird.

'twas a joke.

 

[Phil Parent]

Wow Jenna Blasman in slopestyle is agile like a cat. Hard to describe but she messed up her last jump and sort of started flying in the air totally out of control... still landed on her feet mostly.

But she's done, second to last.

 

[Phil Parent]

Guay 10th after his run in the Finals.

Osborne-Paradis 23rd after his...

Hudec and the other guy are somewhere between the two.

Canada's done in downhill. The day wasn't good to favorites: Svidal and Miller both are off the podium, as is defending Olympic champ Defago.

An Austrian is winning, apparently they're strong at this event.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Nothing so far today.. I think the only medal we'll end up with today is the one in team figure skating.

 

[HomaridII]

The Russian Women's goaltender should just take the glove off and wear a second blocker.

lol

 

[deandebean]

'twas a joke.

I know.

 

[HomaridII]

Silver guaranteed for Canada in Team Figure Skating.

 

[Mathletic]

unreal talent that Lipnitskaya kid

 

[la25ecoupe]

I'm one of the lucky to see the 3 sisters train in person and got up to 5cm close to them. All three are really hot in person, i can confirm that

 

[Krnage]

unreal talent that Lipnitskaya kid

how old are she ? she look like a teenager

 

[HomaridII]

how old are she ? she look like a teenager

She is 15.

That medal ceremony with the Dufour-Lapointe sisters was so heart warming to see.
