Champion  6999      Chicago, Illinois |  Subject: RE: 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics ThreadOriginally posted by dodgersmom Originally posted by Left Brain I have a bad feeling and I hope I'm wrong. The Chechen terrorists have pulled of some BIG attacks, and they are ruthless beyond anything we see in our society. Read up on the Belsan school attack to see how fanatical they are.
I have the same feeling and really hope I am wrong too.
On the plus side, I have really started to enjoy Curling and going forward to the non-stop coverage of that! Yes Curling. |

| Master 5557 , California | Subject: RE: Can we start to make fun of the Russian Winter Olympics? Huge respect for how hard those guys work in the biathlon. They are all aerobic beasts but many of them are still 100% gassed, falling to the ground at the finish line of the 10k sprint event. |

They are going 100% the whole time out there and have to keep their heart rate down for the shooting part. |

I love to cross country ski in the winter but I seldom have a chance to watch races so I'm really enjoying the Olympic coverage. The CBC online videos are great - I can watch the races any time. Has anyone else watched skiathlon? I'd never seen it before but it has transitions from classic to skate that remind me of T2 in triathlon. Don |

Master 8250 Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: Can we start to make fun of the Russian Winter Olympics? Sob....NO coverage here. Not even one minute, on any channel I can find. Live streaming is not terribly useful due to slow internet speed and time differences, either. I can understand that the Vietnamese don't have anyone in these sports and clearly couldn't care less about them, but couldn't we at least have figure skating or something? |

| Subject: RE: Can we start to make fun of the Russian Winter Olympics? I'm showing my age. Watching the slopestyle and saw the one kid with his pants way too big so that they are barely hanging on. Told my husband it just seems disrespectful to have your pants not even covering your rear end at the Olympics! Guess I'm not one of the cool kids anymore |

Guess I'm not one of the cool kids anymore Good one But seriously, slopestyle is my new favorite Winter Games sport. WAY more entertaining than half-pipe in my opinion. Half-pipe is so limited by the course. It will always be the same. With slopestyle they'll be able to change up the courses that already are so much more interesting than half-pipe. They're freaking insane-- so much skill. |

Champion 10019 , Minnesota Bronze member | Subject: RE: 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics Thread I thought slopestyle was my new favorite sport(s), but that was before I saw Snowboard Cross. That was THRILLING. WOW! It was a lot more fun to watch the women when the weather was nice. The rain (for the men) dampened things a bit much, although the carnage was still incredible.

Snowboard Cross is my new favorite winter sport. They are doing Ski Cross on the same course tonight, there should be some good carnage in that one too. |
