[GDT] What are you watching right now?

[KootenayFlamesFan]

lol, yeah the coverage for Americans is really horrid. We're pretty lucky up here to see everything (well, a lot of things, anyway) live instead of waiting until 'prime' time.

[troutman]

Slope style seems like a made-up sport to me.

[Table 5]

Not really impressed watching this, it's like watching some kids on a regular hill.

[Freeway]

Slopestyle is fun to watch.

[trackercowe]

Gotta agree, it's always glad to see live sporting events at 11 at night, but these guys just aren't "athletes" in my view. More great riders in a recreational sport.

Touch the Russian nesting doll for bonus points! lol

Watching kids on a regular hill I think not...

Reid falls on both his runs, will not make the final. Mcmorris up soon. Needs a huge run to make it as he fell his first run also.

Clutch!!! 89.25!

[KelVarnsen]

Porn.

So who is through? CBC's site is really poor at explaining. I see the french guy in the Qualifications with the insane score but I don't see him in the semifinals.

Also, this dude on the coverage needs to tone it down a bit. He's getting a bit hammy.

8 people qualified right from the QF, all the ones who didn't competed in these semi-finals with the top 4 going through.

Parrot and Toutant were already through, now McMorris is joining them.

[MissTeeks]

Three of them went through:

“@CBCOlympics: Breathe, Canada. @markmcmorris is going to the final w/@SebToots & @MaxParrot. Charles Reid does not advance. #CBCOlympics”

Thanks all, so three of 12. Here's hoping!

for those who haven't seen the CBC/Radio-Canada opening, here it is



I always love the CBC Opening not only for the theme music but also for the the subtle respect for the host nation. There is no doubt where these games are and past games openings have had writing and symbols in Japanese, Chinese, Greek, Italian and now Russian. You'd have to watch it many times to catch all the background text behind the graphics

And they can play this theme many different ways unlike I Believe which was pretty generic.

American women up 1-0 early on the Fins

[GirlySports]

this hockey game is pretty good. I want to go to sleep but I also want to see how long Finland can hang in there.

Love the tune as well. I think they also did have writing and symbols in French and Korean.

[Freeway]

Good pace for this game so far.

[GirlySports]

oh i have to stay up for slopestyle too. It's going to be a late night!

[trackercowe]

These commentators are terrible at keeping people in the loop. I wasn't even sure if riders had already qualified for the finals during the last run.

This time around are they riding just once each, or a couple times?
