The broadcast starts at 4, but I think the men's qualifying starts at 11:00 tonight (in an hour).

Sweet! The one time it pays off to work nights with satellite tv in the background.

this sport looks really fun

Swiss guy fell on his ass.

The CBC online feed is awesome, you can click on all the menu items at the top, like standings and startlist

One of my coworkers used to do slopestyle (never been in olympics though)... until she got injured and couldn't do it competitively anymore.

No more Niki Yanofsky's 'I believe' either which is a blessing.

Jeez the Olympics fully take over my life every two years. This year will be no exception! So excited! And of course nervous!!

Patrick Chan nearly fell, twice!!

This new team competition might be a good thing to get the kinks out cause if that had happened in his normal short program it would be an uphill battle for gold.

Just FYI guys the CBC Olympics App is actually pretty awesome.

Also stoked to see Toutant and Parrot make it to the Snowboard Slopestyle finals. McMorris fells on his first run, but had an awesome second run and kind of got robbed for his score IMO, but will have to qualify for the finals by nailing his semi runs. I think he will do it.

Oh how I wish I could watch the CBC feed online, but I guess it's only available in Canada. What a bummer.

Does anyone know any (legal) way around this?

I watched the McMorris run on NBC, even the Americans thought he got screwed over on his second run.

Sucks, but he's not out of it. Hopefully he uses it as motivation in the semis.

NBC exists? I thought they were still waiting for the video tape to come back to New York from Sochi.
