    cross country skiing and shooting is an unfuckwithable combination

    Honestly, I quite enjoy the game where they clean the ice so that the rock can slide.

    Hockey is always tons of fun to watch, but then again I am a guy who enjoys watching hockey.

    Aside from that, I guess it'll be pretty cool to see athletes from non Russian countries making out with each other to protest.

    what a dumb thread, everyone can watch and talk about the games if they feel like it.

    the Internet just makes it less fun than it used to be and it's annoying to see the same crap on it every 4 years, someone should make a bingo card with this shit on it

    -what's the deal with curling?
    -clickbait websites with "hot girls of the Olympics" slideshow
    -sites with "ugly girls of the Olympics" slideshows
    -black athletes at the winter olympics? lol!
    -our athletes worked so hard to get here, you can talk about human rights when the games are over, don't ruin this for them
    -"the Olympic village is a giant orgy"
    -"check out at this picture of Putin looking like a badass, why can't we have a president like this"
    -etc

    It's really not that big a thing here, the medals of 30 years of Winter Olympics for GB are;

    2010 One gold in Skeleton
    2006 One silver in Skeleton
    2002 Gold in Curling, bronze in Skeleton
    1998 Bronze in Bobsleigh
    1994 Bronze figure skating, bronze in speed skating (short track)
    1992 Nothing
    1988 Nothing, Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards makes a "brave but laughable" attempt to ski-jump
    1984 Gold in figure skating

    A lot more money, like the Summer Olympics has gone into the sporting budgets. Winning 6 medals is likely to be the target and would be a massive success.

    Ice Hockey, we don't even enter.

    I know a couple of people who worked out in Moscow post Sept-2012 and moved to Sochi a few months ago. One has quit a few weeks before the Games begin as they used to dread every time they arrived there. Most of their project work had been done and he was going to be on stand by throughout the actual games. Knowing how proud Russian's can be he said he was likely going to be twiddling his thumbs throughout.

    I also enjoy Curling.

    Caught a short snippet of a Russian woman complaining about how other nations view them during the olympics on the radio this morning. I didn't even realise the Winter Olympics were a thing before that.

    I'd watch ski jumping if there were like a 70% chance a crash related death would happen each jump.

    Oh sure ice skating is great. A bunch of ugly chicks in too much make up & a bunch of pansy ass dudes in tights dancing to opera.

    ski jumping is the sport i most regret not learning as a child. looks fun

    i'll probably watch hockey, cross country skiing/biathlon, bobsled, luge, and of course curling. not really invested in any of them except hockey. the usa v canada hockey games 4 years ago were amazing

    Reuben lets just talk about the important stuff in the hockey thread.
    As much as I want to pretend to not care about the Olympics, this is shaping up to be a big year on the ice.

    After watching two jaw-dropping comebacks in a women's curling match on NBCSN tonight, I'm pretty fired up to see some stones thrown for gold. Short track speed skating is usually a blast. I'll probably get roped into watching several events because I'm lazy, and goddamn Bob Costas somehow spinning a compelling narrative from nothing.

    now that he's been eliminated from the NFL playoffs, 49ers star tight end Vernon Davis can enjoy being an ambassador for USA Curling in Sochi 2014
