2022 Winter Olympics NBC/CBC events thread

Team Canada seems to be having more success this Olympics than team USA at the moment. I’m kind of surprised at the moment. Is the lack of success more due to COVID-19 or just how our athletes have been preforming in general? 🤔

Could just be the scheduling. US might have better chances in later events.
 
Overhyped Alpine skier Mikaela Shriffrin flames out spectacularly. Again. 😭

Snowboarder Lindsay Jacobellis finally gets released from Olympic purgatory after 16 years and wins gold.

The 10 TEN!!! skaters in men’s 1500m short track looked like they were playing choo-choo train. 🚂

So many advanced because of penalties in previous rounds.

The only way to watch olympic curling

The caption says the critters are beavers but they're probably woodchucks cuz beavers have bigger tails (and they know how to use them.)
Too cute, that made me smile. :goodvibes

Yeah, they’re definitely not beavers. I saw the same clip last week and it was captioned as groundhogs (for Groundhog Day). I think groundhogs might be the same as woodchucks but not sure. :rolleyes:
 
And the Cheat in China, the rules bypass in Beijing continues.

LOL well have some dubious judging right back atcha China!!! The whole internet was abuzz. Su Yiming was robbed!!! robbed we tell ya!!! Yeah. Not so fun when it happens to YOU is it China?

Oh and STERRRRRROIDS!!! STERRRROIDS.

The Female winner of the skiathlon has previously been punished for it. Little Miss how was I to know my chapstick had roids? And the entire team of the male winner of the skiathlon has been punished for it.

Wow. look at that figure skating. How do they complete all those athletic jumps???!!! Oh. THAT'S how.

There are two kinds of Russian athletes. Those that get busted for roids, and those that haven't been caught yet.

I mean seriously. If saying well you have to compete as the Russian Olympic Committee instead of Russia is the slap on the wrist handed out for getting caught with the most systematic and systemic steroids program ever, a level of cheating that would make former East German officials blush, then they're just going to keep doing it. By the way they wore the Russian Flag on their opening ceremony unis in violation of their punishment.....

By the way. Yes, I know that roids aren't the only banned substance and that it might not actually be Roids. I don't need some know it all to ruin the joke by arrogantly and condescendingly trying to explain it to me. Nor does anyone else on the board. BANNNNNED SUBSTANCES.... Doesn't make for a good jeer cheer.

I'm sure the Russians will be able to come up with a large enough bribe to allow Valieva to compete. She'll take another test and lo and behold, it'll be negative and all will be forgiven.

CBS also said they had no confirmation as to who the Russian was who tested positive, but everyone else is saying it's Valieva.

The men are skating tonight, we'll see if Yuzuru Hanyu skates or withdraws due to his bad ankle.
 
Are the athletes just told if they are positive or negative or are they shown? I feel some shady things are going on.
 
USA has just re-broadcast the beginning half (mostly) of the men's skating. Nothing's been live since Daniel Grassl skated, but I can see from the NBC olympics.com site that Yuzuru Hanyu is now skating. What the heck??
