NEW.ERA Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Well still a whole week of action left and the US has most of their opportunities in the first week so hopefully their medal count slows down next week. And I've gained so much respect for Figure Skating, Probably one of the hardest sports. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFB Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 0-7... OH AND FREAKING SEVENSHUSTER!!! If the majority of America actually gave a crap about curling, your head would be on a platter. In the last 3 games, he missed 4 potential game-winners. Really... REALLY?!?!Oh and NBC's Curling to Hockey transitions and their use of Fred Roggin makes me want to punch babies.This. x1000000000.

FiddySicks Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Figure skating may have the appearance that it's totally lame because of the crappy music and sequined costumes and all, but anyone who can jump in the air, spin four times, and land on a surface that is only as wide as a few sheets of paper on ICE has to get some props. A lot of skiers and snowboarders struggle to land tricks with that many rotations and their surface area is about 100X bigger than an ice skate. Doesn't mean I'll sit down and watch it, it still has lame music and sequined costumes, but I definitely can't knock it. Speaking of skiing and snowboarding, snowboarder Hannah Teeter, who lives in South Lake Tahoe and rides at the same resort as me, won the silver medal in women's halfpipe. Another South Shore local, Elena Hight, finished fourth. Way to rep the SLT, ladies.I know it's the new big trendy "sport" to watch, but is anyone else completely sick of curling on TV? It's almost as bad as watching poker. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

Makes plenty of sense. **I say this with only a rudimentary knowledge of figure skating. Hell, I just wanted an excuse to use that image macro.

The media counts all medals the same and I don't believe that a bronze should count the same as a gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
