I watched some of the moguls qualifying and had a really difficult time figuring out what a good or bad run. After an hour my guesses were still off by a ton, and commentators weren't doing a lot to help understand what made for a great run. Just not my kind of event, I guess.

Biathalon is one of my guilty pleasure sports. I don't really have an idea why I enjoy it but I always end up watching anyway.

[GirlySports]

The best part of the biathlon is the penalty lap for missing. It's like survivor. One missed shot and you're out, and made to suffer. The medals are determined by the half a dozen or so athletes the did not miss.

That slopestyle course for the Olympics looks pretty cool. I like the theme that they put together for the jumps.

And it's cold. Did they say -20? Zhanhjiakou is practically in Inner Mongolia.

I found it really hard to ready the names and numbers on the black unis last game, these are way easier on the eyes for me

White would be way more legible.

That backhand tho...

Laurie Blouin the only Canadian to make the Final in Slopestyle, will take place tomorrow 18:30.

[Weitz]

Sad to see but woman’s hockey still isn’t really a thing. Can anyone really be interested in just the USA and Canada still?

[MRCboicgy]

Really thought this game would be closer, but damn the ladies are just picking corners.


Feel bad for Finland after they kept it close in the first and vs the US.

[CofR]

Weidemann is in 1st place in the Women’s 3km with only one our to go, guaranteed medal!

[CofR]

Isabelle Weidemann wins Bronze in the Women’s 3km!

[ajr4013]

[AustinL_NHL]

Damn. Sooo close to Silver, but amazing race from Isabelle Weidemann!!

Canada's first medal of the Olympics!

[Johnny Makarov]

Wow totally forgot about the Olympics! Flipping channels and just saw us win a bronze.

Is this the 1st medal for Canada?
