Curling has been crazy. Both Homan and Mouat at 3 losses? You could have made a lot of money betting on that.

Why dont they just include GT snowracers? Isnt that essentially what these sled events are? I cant see past that when I watch these events.

Looks like some brutal weather delaying the women’s freeski big air; definitely some medal hopes there.

Yep, though watching the snowblower team have a bro-down, high-fiving each other after clearing some snow was entertaining.

Sounds like a decision is coming about a possible further delay in about 10 minutes..

UPDATE: sounds like it will start at 1 PM YYC time at the earliest.

Big Air only on CBC Gem... I think. Wish they would show what events are on each channel.

It is frustrating when we’ve got hockey on CBC, TSN, and SN1 right now. I love our Women’s Hockey team but it would be nice to have that Big Air on one of the tv channels right now.

I'd be miffed if I was a high level amateur athlete in contention for gold and the only way your home country can watch is using an App. I never used CBC Gem before these games.

Gu stood behind Hunter Hess calling out Trump and the problems in America right now. I respect her for that. She comes across as a great advocate for the games.

Yeah Sportsnet had to scramble to even show clips of the final run. Jamming curling and overhyping and also jamming hockey down our throats while athletes just as deserving and a lot more obscure deserves just as much time, especially if they’re winning golds.

I don't understand why they wear the big baggy snowsuits for these freestyle events. I know it may mostly be part of the "culture"... but for ease of movement, and to better show off their form, you'd think they'd wear something more form-fitting.

They should wear speed skating suits.

I know it's hard to say, but other countries are not getting better at women's hockey. It doesn't look like the exposure at the Olympics is helping. It's become softball the Summer Games. It's great to have a guaranteed medal every games, but they may as well bring two teams from Canada and US.
