Norway played a great game and had a very competitive 1st period against Canada, their goalie really made some incredible saves throughout!

:thumbup:

 

Well, no suprice Canada won so I'm not taking it so bad :lol: Well, at least Norway won against USA in curling, with new panties :mellow: I really like the one we used against Canada :cry: at least we didn't change much with them, still looks awzam :kink:

 

Oh and Norway's flopping in Men's cross country 15km is the 30th most watched on TV in Norway :rofl:

... oh and Canada won over Norway in Curling as well :(

 

Does grown men chasing an Edwardian bed-warmer down a slippy aisle with a brush constitute a real sport though?

No ... Chess is a game ... no-one on earth will convince me that it is a sport. Same as Darts and Snooker (well snooker maybe - all that lifting of pint-pots takes some effort)

 

Besides ... it was a joke!

*cough* and why does Poker get shown on Sky Sports

 

I've actually been watching quite a bit at night. Germans certainly know how to handle a sledge!

If Norway don't get gold tonight it will be our worst Olympic Games start since 1984 :manson:

After what has gone on so far in the Olympics and whilst watching the near fatal Woman's Downhill I want to know who is responsible for the design of these courses:

 

Is it this guy?

I've been loving the men's figure skating. I really liked the Swiss guy, Lambiel, loved his style, wish he could've done better.

It is one thing for a relative inexperienced luger to suffer a fatality and put it down to lack of experience; but if the Olympics Woman's Downhill does this to a 5 time Olympic medallist and seven times skiing World Champion how can anyone not say this course is not dangerous. Please note the pictures in this clip cut away before it got really nasty to view hence cutting to the faces of the Swedish coach and the (likely) winner Lindsey Vonn.

Would like to watch it but cant cos the IOC has pulled it..... :rolleyes:

 

Thing is though mate, all the experience in the world cant mitigate for a split second error of judgement... I dont really believe that this course can be any more dangerous than Val D'isere or Kitzbuehl tbh.... I watched plenty of "Ski Sunday" progs with some pretty fukkin' hair-raising crashes, even amonst the most experienced skiiers.. Downhill skiing is by its very nature pretty dangerous, as really are all these outdoor Winter sports, I mean, Ski-jumping is just crazy when you sit back and think about it.... :lol:

We're showing really $h!tty results, this is the worst Olympics for us so far in many many years! :(
that Australian referee on the short track speed skating last night was soooo anti-British! Harshly DSQ'd one of our female skaters for bumping into another contender on the 1st corner when everyone's fighting for the line, and then a 2nd skater should have been put through, as a Korean almost wiped her out on the final corner (but was allowed through naturally). Meh!
Yeeey! Norway got their 100th golden medals in the winter games yesterday!! :w00t: We have now 101 :kink:
Congratulations to Amy Williams!
Congratulations Amy! God the Skeleton does look rough though! It makes the Luge look like a chauffeur driven limo in comparison most of the time.
So... Norway vs Great Britain in curling tonight!! Go Norway :dance:

Our men so far have not crumbled under the pressure like our woman have done.

 

But it is not quite Amundsen v Scott is it.

 

But hopefully the result will be different. :D
