Time to put aside the chants of "Go Seahawks" and replace with "Go Curling!"

Curling: Schedule and results - Sochi 2014 Olympics

 

Skating is the favorite around our place; where is the audience, lots of empty seats ??

 

bummed about the outcome of the halfpipe.

 

Too each his/her own…but I just can't get into skating. I work in a SCIF and our white noise generator has been a TV tuned to olympic figure skating all week. Every routine seems exactly the same…some sort of interpretive dance on skates interrupted by twirling jumps that are exactly the same but have different names (axle, lutz, etc…) And, those preening princesses (I am talking about the "men") in their disturbingly tight outfits.

I am not saying it is not difficult…I am sure it is. But, so is juggling…another fairly worthless activity designed to draw attention to the person doing it, as if to say, "Hey guys, look what I can do!" But, I guess most of the Olympic events can be described the same way. I did enjoy the speed skating and ski jumping, though.

 

USA - RUSSIA Mens hockey into an 8th round shoot out. Not sure anything had topped that yet.

Was pretty cool though when the two women skiers tied for the first time ever.

Absolutely brilliant sport...

 

Headed to Russia on Thursday and will be watching the remainder of the games on t.v .
Btw received this interesting e-mail from DAL.
