It's weird these days it's the closing ceremonies that are more fun.The athletes party and it's a big concert. In two weeks it'll be a K-Pop concert!

I feel bad for athletes in other sports, but I just don’t care about the Olympics without the NHL

I enjoyed the opening, but then I lived in Korea and feel a kinship!

Just watching the replay. Commentary is a little too preachy and political. When you had Mansbridge do it, seemed more believable. These ladies appear to be reading off cards when it comes to some sticky political things.
Also, one minute talking about gender equality and that message that has to be sent, the next minute fawning over the shirtless Tonga guy for a good minute without even mentioning his name and joking that it isn’t even in their notes.

Olympics seem to be on the downhill. CBC didn't even replay the opening ceremonies that originally aired at 4am.
Mixed Curling and Team figure skating? Why?
I was all for Calgary getting the games again. I say hard pass now.

Meanwhile the US suits I believe are supposed to be cosmonaut suits but they look like the gear course volunteers would wear, or, the Russian Olympics Athletes Under the IOC flag.

Shani Davis up to his antics once again. So unlikeable.
Quote:
Speedskater Shani Davis didn't attend the opening ceremony of the Pyeongchang Olympics after losing a coin flip to carry the U.S. flag and lead American athletes into the stadium.
A U.S. Speedskating spokesman said Saturday that Davis originally planned to skip Friday night's festivities because of his training schedule but briefly reconsidered when he was nominated by his teammates to be the flag bearer.
Davis, who has appeared in every Olympic Winter Games since 2002 and was the first black athlete to win an individual gold medal at a Winter Games, was tied with luger Erin Hamlin in voting by fellow athletes to carry the flag.
Hamlin won the honor in a coin toss, a process the 35-year-old speedskater said was executed "dishonorably" in a post on his Twitter account.
His tweet included a hashtag mentioning Black History Month, which raised the question of whether the five-time Olympian was suggesting that race played a role in the decision. Davis is black. Hamlin is white.
|
He is one miserable SOB.
