taller on skates

[silk zephyr]

I more meant that they wouldn’t even be there if Russia wasn’t banned

[pseudo steeple]

I keep getting videos on my fyp of people being like “I did so bad in my skiing today” and I think “oh don’t be so hard on yourself” then I realise they were talking about downhill skiing at the Olympics and I’m like “oh no seriously do not be that hard on yourself what do you mean you came like 23rd, I’m on my sofa eating chocolate” 😆

[cosmic jasper]

me sitting here like: the goddamn dutch again

when will i know peace

[unique wing]

omg I was just saying this to my girlfriend

She has a particular vendetta against the Netherlands and the Dutch as a people

And we were dating during the last (summer) olympics, but it's not the same dynamic

and then I was watching speedskating and I was like oh right this entire crowd is orange ahahahaha

[cosmic jasper]

the fuckass orange. my enemy

[wintry turtle]

DU DU DU DU speedy skaters

I sort of feel like the Dutch can have this sport, they’ve been skating (speedily) on canals for like 500 years

[lone dove]

oh girl you should have gone waterproof for an Olympic final

[sharp skiff]

Why is Jake Paul there?

[pseudo steeple]

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGdmwenpp/

this should probably go in #over-18 but technically they’re only discussing their sport (which they’re apparently really, really good at btw)

Also contains my favourite German speaker English error “feets” which just sounds adorable

[lone dove]

omg

France just tied it up with Germany in the 3rd

[wary shell]

His girlfriend won the gold in speedskating

One of the Dutch

[cosmic jasper]

even worse. a dutch dating jake paul

[silk zephyr]

Got home just in time for the figure skating

Im excited for this 90s evening

Starting with Ricky Martin after last night is very apt

[last chasm]

HERE WE GO

God I love this song

I'm also at work reading important business emails in my winter jacket as our heat in this God damn office doesn't work

GOD I LOVE MY TWIZZELS

[silk zephyr]

This music for China is so fun!

I don’t understand it of course but the beat is very catchy

Idk if it’s just me but the vibe is more 50s than 90s

[wintry turtle]

Omg another thing I did not consider about accepting ongoing Dutch sports dominance: it makes this dog happy in the f1 offseason https://www.kkinstagram.com/reel/DUi_6DEDED-/

[silk zephyr]

Aww flower crowns

Oh George Michael hell yes

[cosmic jasper]

he’s like oh my song is on

[silk zephyr]

Put him on the figure skating team

[unique wing]

omg I know the dog we're talking about with just this message and I'm so delighted that the dog gets to be happy in the offseason

[silk zephyr]

Thats not a very Ricky Martin outfit

Ewwww don’t kiss

[unique wing]

I don't know what it is about this sentence that is ringing so in my brain but it makes me so happy

It's shades of "This is going to ruin the tour/what tour/the WORLD TOUR"

[silk zephyr]

It just wasn’t

I don’t see Ricky Martin as neon purple I just don’t

[silk zephyr]

That was really fun!

[sharp skiff]

they are so deeply satisfying to my brain

cant explain why, but i could watch them forever

[last chasm]

Of course the French do Vouge

Tom Jones is better anyway, he’s Welsh

Ooh there’s a tie for the lead in the ski jumping

Or there was haha

I would’ve chosen something like vengaboys for my imaginary program

Booooo to this team for using AI music

This is excellent 90s rep

[silk zephyr]

The fire red hair and the blue outfit is iconic

Oh no

[wary shell]

These are the better French people

[silk zephyr]

At least they cut away

[wary shell]

They got her back up

[silk zephyr]

This is excellent music

much better use of this song than tricking me with a fucking crypto ad

[silk zephyr]

Lilah is part Canadian so it’s fine

These two have been partners on and off ice for 16 years

Fun fact for your Monday night

You can tell I’m watching the British comms because they’re discussing how little kip the Italians got

[lone dove]

Evan & Madison let's go!

[cosmic jasper]

[silk zephyr]

Chock and Bates is just so fun to say

[pseudo steeple]

That level of synchronicity is almost scary

[cosmic jasper]

fun fact they have two toy poodles that come to practice with them everyday

[lone dove]

HOT

so much dance & pop and I love that but they brought rock and totally smashed it

[cosmic jasper]

they’re so fun to watch i’ve seen them live irl before

[pseudo steeple]

I feel like everyone should get to do these little bows at the end of the event. Ski jumpers. Snowboarders. Lugers

[silk zephyr]

She kinda reminds me of Angelina jolie

She looks so cool during the dancing part and he looks like the standard white guy dancing 😂

[pseudo steeple]

“Married couple off the ice” like they’re divorced on the ice 😆

[cosmic jasper]

so there’s a new netflix doc series on 3 of the teams and in it they talk about how evan’s role is just step back and let madi do her thing

[lone dove]

oh come on

[silk zephyr]

Incredible

I do plan to watch that series

[cosmic jasper]

are you kidding me

[silk zephyr]

I did like the vogue more as a routine it was just more vibey to me but I don’t know anything

The commentators are surprised so therefore I am also surprised

[cosmic jasper]

top 3 are the teams the doc focused on

[lone dove]

even Scott Hamilton is surprised

[cosmic jasper]

netflix is thrilled for part 2 post olympics

[cosmic jasper]

you were definitely ahead i saw your message come in and i was like oh fuck they’re not first

ok 2 minutes of hockey to round out my work day

[silk zephyr]

I didn’t think they’d be first but I thought they would be closer

[cosmic jasper]

if they nail the free skate they def still have a chance

[silk zephyr]

Oh god it’s past my bedtime

I think I’m going to miss all of the men’s SP again 😭

I might stick it on on my phone while getting my nails done lol

I’ve got spice up your life jammed in my head now

They're showing the replay of the men's cross-country sprint, stunning to see the American keeping up with the Norwegians.

The women's was, disappointingly, all Swedish 1-2-3.

[last chasm]

God damn the Norwegians. That was fast

Født med ski på beina. Born with skis on the feet. 🇳🇴

I don't like the Dale sweater design for the Norwegians this time as much as some previous Olympics

Wait. The bagpipers are playing before all the curling matches?

Yeah they found a curling stone in Dunblane dated in the 1500s

[wary shell]

They keep doin a guard and clear guard and clear

[last pulsar]

I got to talking about the curling with my mum, and she told me my grandparents (her mum and dad) competed in curling at an amateur level and won a bunch of trophies, this was news to me! Her mum died a few years ago and she got rid of the trophies because they were huge, but kept this teeny tiny miniature curling stone which she’s given to me to put on my trinket shelf. IT’S SO CUTE.

[lone dove]

[lone dove]

that was the goofiest figure skating routine I've ever seen

I was about to say watching a guy skate to minions music music whilst dressed as a minion is really what the Olympics is all about.

oh i’m in tears ngl

[scarlet cedar]

obsessed with piper and paul

[silk zephyr]

Oh wow that starry night dress is gorg

[scarlet cedar]

the fact he did it anyway was bad but the fact it completely robbed the limelight from the gold medalist pissed me off so much

[silk zephyr]

Who is left to go? I’ve turned it back on

I wish she was in black skates. I know it’s the dumb rule of women in white and men in black but it would extend her lines

[pseudo steeple]

I found out they are siblings and I admire them even more because there’s no way me and my brother could make it through a single match without an argument 😆

[scarlet cedar]

just USA and france

[silk zephyr]

“Evan, Madi and the skirt did great” 😂

[scarlet cedar]

i’m not sure the change of skirt added anything extra though, it felt risky

[cosmic jasper]

i mean they really did the best they could possibly do

[cosmic jasper]

the other one ripped in practice

they showed it on the us feed

[lone dove]

and now the opposite of allez les bleus

[scarlet cedar]

oh that makes sense then

[silk zephyr]

As a common allez les bleus it is now boo les bleus

[silk zephyr]

It scared me at one point when it went in between her legs a bit it looked like it was getting caught and she would fall

[cosmic jasper]

yeah got caught on her skate

[silk zephyr]

I don’t like this music much

[cosmic jasper]

fuck guys

[silk zephyr]

Is it just me or was the crowd a lot quieter for them

[scarlet cedar]

boringggggggggg

[cosmic jasper]

i’m so pissed off

[silk zephyr]

They train together with the Americans

[cosmic jasper]

that was more than “a little mistake” imo

[silk zephyr]

I think chock and bagels think they’ve lost

Bates Jesus

[wary shell]

Call him Bagel now

[lone dove]

ugh

[silk zephyr]

I’m sorry that was such a French gasp from the coach I’m dying of laughter

[lone dove]

just devastated for every skater in the figure skating world who is a survivor

[wary shell]

They’ll make it some overcoming narrative now

[silk zephyr]

I am somewhat disappointed that I’ve heard nothing about it from anyone during the competition

I do not think they were over a point apart

Over both nights

[cosmic jasper]

they knew once the other ones didn’t fuck up majorly

[cosmic jasper]

yeah that would be all of the biased judging

he consistently earns higher scores when he shouldn’t

[silk zephyr]

TNT is saying how classy they are like fuck right off

Stop hugging them

They keep on dancing around them being a “controversial” couple

Oh I’ve just heard the story behind piper and Paul’s dance they should have won 😭😭😭😭

[cosmic jasper]

i swear tho evan bates at the end there was trying to figure out how to will his body to be able to compete at 40 at the next olympics

madi does not know he’s thinking this

[wary shell]

He’s just gonna be there like 🧍‍♂️

Did not know he was 2 years older than O’Shea.

[wary shell]

They’re going to find him on the middle of the ice on the dark

[cosmic jasper]

evan’s sitting there mumbling 5 olympics under his breath

[wary shell]

I’ll miss ice dance.

How did I miss that her older brother who competed for Japan with their sister died in 2020 of cardiac arrest.

March 14th, 2020… I was busy that weekend.

[lone dove]

wait who is this?

born in Kalamazoo and competed for Georgia, Israel, & Lithuania?

[wary shell]

Yeah her older two siblings competed for Japan— where their mom is from.

Ice dance is a way to have 5 passports.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allison_Reed?wprov=sfti1#

[lone dove]

Ah. It's "we can maybe do well in the Olympics, here's citizenship courtesy of a presidential declaration". Not even remotely Lithuanian. Fun times.

[wary shell]

That’s the core of ice dance

[lone dove]

Spain. WTF guys. 3rd highest points for Madison & Evan?

[cosmic jasper]

i’m going to crash out again

they did not deserve over 136s

the 137s and 138s are so frustrating

the judge from spain just hates the us look where they placed zingas and kolesnik

like cmon

[wary shell]

They also over scored the Spanish team 5 points more than anyone else

[lone dove]

the more you look at these numbers the crazier it gets

[cosmic jasper]

no literally each place i look

also their step sequence was so out of sync and their twizzles again were worse than how they were scored

i’m sooooo mad

i watched the routine again lol

they hadn’t scored higher than a 134 all season but had some fuck ups and ended up with these scores yeah i bet

watching the primetime coverage and they’re making me suffer through this psychological torture again

[wary shell]

I’m watching f1 stuff instead for a change

[cosmic jasper]

i need to go to bed angry

[cosmic jasper]

seeing madi breakdown in tears just made me so mad

again

[wary shell]

Learning about the men’s curling team who had an alternate step in who is 54 years old personal injury attorney. They promised him ice time lol.

[cosmic jasper]

the 8 point difference is so

first gold for a commonwealth nation this games goes to australia, as we all predicted

[cosmic jasper]

good morning everyone

still mad

[lone dove]

So incredibly proud of Jessie Diggins for fighting through the agony of bruised ribs to still take bronze in the 10k. 😭 A fighter like no other 🩵 🩵

[last pulsar]

There was a guy with the surname Ferrari in one of the snowboarding heats. He came fourth…out of 4, good to see they’re really consistent with their brand.

[last pulsar]

Showing precisely why there’s no “commonwealth winter games” 😂

[oak geyser]

Canada and NZ should have a major advantage

and the UK

My theory is we’re good at moguls bc our snow quality is so shit

[wary shell]

She finished 5th and 8th in this event before. The event page is saying it’s under review.

They gave medals though

[wary shell]

New Zealand was so close the other day but yes

[lone dove]

under review for what, does it say

[wary shell]

Still can’t believe mono bob was the solution to more events in womens bobsleigh

[wary shell]

Now the yellow bar on the app is gone. No idea.

They disqualified the Ukrainian skeleton pilot over the helmet.

It’s a long one.

[cosmic jasper]

oh my god?!

[lone dove]

The Olympics supposedly stand for peace but we can't let anyone say the war is bad. Okay.

Russia's not even allowed at the Olympics, what are they going to do get mad about it?

[wary shell]

People online are making it Naumovs fault too somehow. Hope he’s off line.

[last pulsar]

The IOC refuses to ban Israel, but they banned Russia for way less, so now they’re doubling down on anything remotely “political”, clearly as a precursor to letting Russia back in rather than actually do the right thing and banning Israel.

[cosmic jasper]

it’s weird as hell they think he shouldn’t be allowed to show a picture of his parents who died in a plane crash because of their nationality which i understand their frustration but it’s directed at the wrong person

[pseudo steeple]

The social media team also isn’t having the greatest day (I know they don’t make the decision and it’s a tough job in moments like this but a bit of a slip up there)

[cosmic jasper]

oopsies

[wary shell]

Latvia has filed a protest

To the banning

They’ve got like lions on the side of the goalies helmet.

Im here for Macklin. I feel responsible for him and I need to keep an eye on him.

Representing Belgium because none of the F1 drivers will

[sharp skiff]

while i love the sport, my favorite part about the Winter Olympics is spotting all the handmade knit ware

so much more potential in the winter olympics to spot knitter, and i need to know whenever i see an athlete wearing something handmade if they made it or if someone in their family did

[last pulsar]

A reel of a Canadian biathlete knitting a jumper came up on my insta yesterday, he said he wanted to finish it before the end of the Olympics, but he had a lot left to do 😅

[wary shell]

Broadcasters in other events going wow this person is almost 30 they’re basically dead and then the men’s curling team brings out Rich

[sharp skiff]

oh yes, i saw he was a knitter at the start of the games and have been following along since!

Breezy Johnson, the downhill skier also appears to be a knitter!

[wary shell]

She was busy getting engaged today

[sharp skiff]

that was so cute!

[wary shell]

She did want that, btw, she wanted that proposal some people got mad online

Connor listened.

A fun Olympic plot: Everyone loves to knit!

Jessie Diggins, Julia Kern, Ben Ogden, Maddie Mastro and Adam Runnalls have talked about their creations. Breezy Johnson, who knits her race headbands, got a message from Tom Daley saying he wants to have a “knit and natter” next week

Snow falling at the half pipe

Lots of falling in half pipe

People. Snow.

That’s the fourth in a row

Cut the cameras

[sharp skiff]

yikes, that fall was really rough

[wary shell]

Finally a clean run after the snow stopped

[sharp skiff]

the ladies are absolutely sending it this year

[wary shell]

No one is playing it safe

[sharp skiff]

lets go chloe!!!!

[lone dove]

Chloe!!!!

[sharp skiff]

LFG that was so strong!!!!

absolutelty stomped the switch double cork 1080

[silk zephyr]

Should I watch the speed skating or the snowboarding

[sharp skiff]

ill always vote for snowboarding

[silk zephyr]

You have convinced me thanks

[lone dove]

why not both

[silk zephyr]

Because the multiviewer makes me watch everything so I’d have tiny views

[lone dove]

ah boo

[silk zephyr]

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNRyEAQaT/ I love how unapologetically hyped Chloe is for her man

This is the multiview and for the snowboarding it’s just too small when they do the long views

Or maybe I am just blind

[sharp skiff]

nah i feel similarly about the multiview lou

i only use it when im like half paying attention

[silk zephyr]

Oh no!

[wary shell]

Women’s snowboarding has my full attention

They’re confused if she’s in the competition or not

[silk zephyr]

I love the slippers

[wary shell]

They’re making me look at Shawn White and Snoop Dog

[silk zephyr]

Apparently the Korean had a big hit on the head on her first run so my comms were confused why she was going

[wary shell]

Yeah she was on the ground for awhile

[silk zephyr]

And they also keep talking about how nice it is to see older athletes 😂😂😂

[lone dove]

I assume she went through some kind of concussion protocol? I hope??????

[wary shell]

There’s children and then there’s the Spanish woman who is 36 and they’re going WOW SHE’S STILL GOING

[lone dove]

Pfff I'm 42 and I'm still going too. Not at snowboarding but you know, at whatever else it is I'm doing.

[wary shell]

It’s fine, curling brought out the 54 year old to break the people.

[silk zephyr]

I don’t think she would have 😬

[sharp skiff]

come on maddie!!!

i love when they practice their moves when their stationary

[silk zephyr]

Awww that lil self affirmation was cute

[sharp skiff]

like a little funky dance

you can do this maddie!!!

[wary shell]

Shitttt

Unbelievable.

[wary shell]

Apolo Ohno is there wandering with his TikTok give him a mic

[silk zephyr]

She keeps holding her back

[lone dove]

that is so much snow

[silk zephyr]

I feel like they should stop

[lone dove]

if it's affecting safety I agree

[wary shell]

She broke something

[silk zephyr]

She doesn’t look good

Oh she’s up

[lone dove]

this is more crashes than completed runs

[silk zephyr]

She’s going again

GO ON

[sharp skiff]

great run, glad she was able to put something together after that fall

[lone dove]

aw she's crying

[wary shell]

Oh my god

[silk zephyr]

Omg!!!

[lone dove]

you did great!

[silk zephyr]

Awww I love the other girl running to hug her

You can hear her sobbing

[lone dove]

everyone is crying now

[sharp skiff]

WOWOWOWOWOWOWO

[silk zephyr]

Even I’m getting emotional!

[sharp skiff]

AWWW her coach

that was so adorable

[silk zephyr]

I feel like if more runs are falls than completes you need to put a pause

[sharp skiff]

lol not a bug on a windshield

[silk zephyr]

But maybe I’m wrong

[sharp skiff]

feels pretty wild active snow affects a snow sport so much, but also i understand why because these announcers have described it a thousand times

[silk zephyr]

Oh yeah I feel like a snow sport shouldn’t be affected by half of its descriptor lol

[sharp skiff]

come on madddieeee, i really hope shes able to lay something down

[silk zephyr]

I feel like there’s too many people around Maddie and she’s psyching herself out

[sharp skiff]

im sure she knows whats best for her

[lone dove]

yeah. there's so many kinds of snow though, and freshly fallen is very different than packed

[wary shell]

Damn

[sharp skiff]

son of a bitch!

[unique wing]

man, sometimes there's so much hype and description and then it's just immediately like ...well, no 😭

[silk zephyr]

Bless her

Well done!!!!

Oh and Chloe looks so happy for her

That’s such an emotional release she’s having

[wary shell]

Oh that’s Chloe’s baby

Her baby duck

[sharp skiff]

omg they are all such cuties

just a couple of girlies happy for eachothers sucess

[silk zephyr]

Oh I just saw her crash for the first time Jesus

[wary shell]

She had two of them

It was bad.

[silk zephyr]

I feel like this is the first time silver medalist is actually happy 😂

[wary shell]

She tore her labrum a month ago

[silk zephyr]

She’s limping

[lone dove]

Men's hockey and women's curling on simultaneously. So many Minnesotans.

Oh ja we're gonna win some medals doncha know.

[silk zephyr]

The way the French announcer just said “half pipe” was incredible

She’s so happy 🥹

This is why I love the Olympics

[lone dove]

GOOOOAL USA

[silk zephyr]

I haven’t heard the Korean anthem in so long it’s very nice

I’m trying men’s hockey

[lone dove]

bah

[silk zephyr]

Woooo Latvia

Sorry Christine I’m going for what I assume is the underdog

[lone dove]

absolutely as with the women the expected gold medal game is USA vs Canada

at every single Olympics

[silk zephyr]

Until the Russians return

[wary shell]

For men’s hockey.

[scarlet cedar]

team canada

i know absolutely 0 about ice hockey but post-heated rivalry, it was macklin celebrini who made it onto my fyp and so naturally, he got adopted

[wary shell]

My child.

[scarlet cedar]

omg did i make a good choice

[wary shell]

Yes

[scarlet cedar]

are you a sharks fan?

[wary shell]

Yes unfortunately for over a decade

[silk zephyr]

Why do they have so many breaks

Not as many as American football but still

[wary shell]

Actually like 15 years the sharks have ruined my life

[wary shell]

Icing calls. Puck out of play.

There’s only two intermissions.

[silk zephyr]

But my commentator was like “the first scheduled pause of this period”

[wary shell]

Yeah tv time outs

[silk zephyr]

Is it like a water break when it’s really hot in rugby

Oh

[wary shell]

I don’t know why they’re doing them

[scarlet cedar]

yes they all get down and lick the ice

[lone dove]

YES back up to 2 goals lol

[silk zephyr]

Pauses for TV ads seems uniquely American. I can’t imagine football or rugby pausing for a TV ad

Like ITV have started doing ads in the men’s 6 nations during the match PIP and people are MAD

[scarlet cedar]

there would be absolutely outrage

[wary shell]

Yeah IIHF uses tv timeouts in international competition.

[lone dove]

If Latvia's strategy is to challenge every goal it's not going to work out for them

[silk zephyr]

Discovery+ are certainly taking the opportunity to show ads

So many Alpine ads

[wary shell]

They’re gonna overturn that aren’t they

[silk zephyr]

The alpine A380 ad I have pretty much memorised now

[wary shell]

It was redirected anyway

[silk zephyr]

Let Latvia win

[lone dove]

no ❤️

[wary shell]

No

It only means something to the team when they lose to canada

That’s the only one that will hurt their feelings

[silk zephyr]

It’s the group stages why does it matter

[lone dove]

BOO

[silk zephyr]

Hahahahhahahaha

[wary shell]

I’m not surprised

[scarlet cedar]

i am not watching cos theres football (⚽️) on but i will never understand how you track the puck, it moves far too quickly

is there a trick to it

[wary shell]

Can we get a goalie fight

I’ve never been able to track the puck, I watch the sticks

[scarlet cedar]

its like i’ll never understand how people know where a golf ball goes

[wary shell]

I hate golf so much

[scarlet cedar]

am i just too blind for some sports

[wary shell]

I’m a big hater

I have too small of a tv but I do follow the puck when it’s not on the boards but I do feel too blind half the time

I’ve also watched hockey for like again 15 years

Lots of practice

[silk zephyr]

What’s a hand pass

[lone dove]

It's easier in person without a camera cutting back and forth.

[wary shell]

Illegal

[silk zephyr]

Well I guessed that when the ref blew the whistle

[scarlet cedar]

thats where i’m going wrong, someone fly me to milan plssssss

[wary shell]

Oh someone fell down on the speedskating track

[lone dove]

fr someone win the lotto and finance a meetup

after funding the Dames of course

[wary shell]

My plans.

[silk zephyr]

When I’m a rich lawyer it’s my first plan

Unfortunately it’s not happening

[scarlet cedar]

i’ll meet you all there

[silk zephyr]

Why are they allowed an extra player

[cosmic jasper]

i fear you just get used to it

this is from a lifelong hockey fan

[wary shell]

Thankfully hockey is in Milan.

[cosmic jasper]

there’s a delayed penalty

[scarlet cedar]

thats what i was fearing, and i feel i will never watch it enough to do that

[cosmic jasper]

so until latvia touches the puck usa can add an extra player

[wary shell]

Power play incoming? (my tv switched to speedskating)

[cosmic jasper]

yeah

[wary shell]

What kind of penalty we talking

[cosmic jasper]

i missed it i’m also still working

[wary shell]

Holding penalty

Boring.

[silk zephyr]

I think I might be there a bit later than you

[wary shell]

I would to change plans in Denver and Germany but it would only take me an hour more than your cheaper options.

[silk zephyr]

So do they stop as soon as the buzzer goes or do they let the play finish?

[lone dove]

I would have to change at Heathrow and Charles de Gaulle, or pop down to Atlanta and go direct from there. $3,600 to leave tonight either way.

[scarlet cedar]

get off at heathrow and catch the train with lou

[lone dove]

oh I'm getting the Charles pokemon ad

[silk zephyr]

I’m getting the team gb porridge ad which is kinda adorable

[cosmic jasper]

stop right at the buzzer

[silk zephyr]

That’s so frustrating if you’re like right on a play for a goal

Sorry I’m comparing this all to rugby because it’s the only sport I marginally know

[cosmic jasper]

no it’s okay i want to indoctrinate everyone into becoming a hockey fan at all times

[wary shell]

https://tenor.com/view/excited-fuego-gif-26833875

Me and Laura having our nights ruined by our teams and now watching those same players on national teams.

[silk zephyr]

Also ruining your night based on how the US is doing rn

Oh my god the commentator just referenced the Epstein files Jesus Christ

A game is only 60 minutes of playing right?

[lone dove]

yep 60 minutes 3 periods if there's no OT

[silk zephyr]

Interesting

Is OT just if it’s a draw at the end or can there be injury time?

[pseudo steeple]

There’s a direct train to Milan from the train station I used to go to work from and every single morning I wanted to get on it😆

[cosmic jasper]

so play stops if there’s injury so just if it’s tied

[silk zephyr]

Sorry I have a million questions

[cosmic jasper]

all good keep going

i’m just working still

[silk zephyr]

I feel like I should be taking notes but I’m making friendship bracelets

[cosmic jasper]

hockey is so much fun

but i’m biased

[silk zephyr]

I saw someone saying on TikTok that rugby is the boy farm so I feel like I should try the boy aquarium

There’s a hockey team in MK btw so if anyone wants to go terrorise red bull we can organise it so it’s the same day as a match

[wary shell]

Fighting is allowed at least in the NHL level. Goalies can only fight each other. There’s so many rules.

[cosmic jasper]

yeah no fighting in international play

[silk zephyr]

I understand that fights are not allowed in the rules for the Olympics. Or it’s a lot less fighting or something

Oh I like the German uniforms

They’re pretty

[cosmic jasper]

it’s iihf regulations so same rules for worlds

[lone dove]

Yeah the "fights" we've seen so far in the Olympics are very tame in comparison

[silk zephyr]

Did I hear the commentator correctly earlier that they have goal songs

Like each person picks a song

[cosmic jasper]

just the team overall

[silk zephyr]

Oh boo

[cosmic jasper]

picks one song

[silk zephyr]

In rugby every player has a song for if they score a try and so the forwards (who rarely score) pick sometimes the funniest songs so if they do score it’s hilarious

[pseudo steeple]

I was told that in European
leagues fighting is much less of a thing in general than North American

[silk zephyr]

How many players are there on a team

They’re moving too fast for me to count

I think 6?

[pseudo steeple]

(I have a friend who is like us with f1 but for hockey and every so often I message her to info dump on me about hockey or the latest dramas on and off the ice so I have weirdly deep but shallow knowledge)

[cosmic jasper]

6 players- typically 3 forwards 2 defensemen and a goalie on ice for each team at a given time. however there’s multiple lines that rotate in and out most of the time the 5 players not in goal aren’t on the ice for more than a minute at a time

[silk zephyr]

Im sorry there’s a live keyboard player

What

[lone dove]

yeah the organ is a big thing

can't have hockey without it

[silk zephyr]

Ok I’m not trying to be mean but they are aware of CD players right

[cosmic jasper]

most of them use prerecorded now

but it’s part of the tradition

[silk zephyr]

So it’s the Olympics that don’t know about CDs, makes sense tbh considering they let a mirror light the flame instead of like a match

A couple of thousand years behind the technology

[lone dove]

no prerecorded sucks, get a live human performer in there more imo

[wary shell]

Baseball and hockey love an organ

[silk zephyr]

Is it against the rules to lift your stick up high like in normal hockey?

[wary shell]

The dodgers and kings share an organ player

[silk zephyr]

I’m sorry did he just catch the puck with his hand

[wary shell]

Oh can stop it but can’t go forward.

[lone dove]

There's a 1920s movie palace here that still has the Wurlizter organ that raises up preshow while people are filing in and drops down before the movie, with a guy dressed up fancy playing film score classics like the old days. it rules

[silk zephyr]

Oh my god I’m getting a viagra ad

It’s time to go to bed

[cosmic jasper]

yes ma’am

[cosmic jasper]

and yes

[wary shell]

Stop he’s already dead

[oak geyser]

Honestly track where the clump of players goes, they tend to go after it like puppies chasing a ball, from there it’s easier

[lone dove]

Oof the Latvian fan with his head in his hand. I almost feel bad.

[cosmic jasper]

artursssss

one of my pens in

[unique wing]

I love that ice hockey isn't normal hockey for you. In the US it's very much hockey and field hockey

[pure briar]

This is one of the many reasons I love hockey (as a very casual fan)

[wary shell]

I always forget field hockey because ice is assumed even if there’s no ice because lacrosse takes all the field hockey players.

[unique wing]

REAL THOUGH

It's very much "hockey and oh I guess there is field hockey, as another hockey option"

[pseudo steeple]

My brother used to be a pretty good (as in played for GB at junior level kinda, bit complicated) field hockey player and the number of times I’ve forgotten to specify this and wondered why people started asking me if I could ice skate is many

Picture from yesterday and last week

I mean by volume, I bet that’s true for us also 😂

I never considered it

[lone dove]

Technically, I'm sure.

But here we have 10,000 lakes and they all freeze.

[silk zephyr]

I have a puddle outside my house that might freeze but I’m not hopeful

[lone dove]

Not to mention the number of permanent ice rink facilities and temporary rinks that get set up in public parks across the state.

[unique wing]

No like we have a lot of ice, for sure, but the country is also just really big and way more of it is not frozen than is

[pseudo steeple]

I’ve always been ice skating in Scotland, they seem to have more there due to curling

[unique wing]

We simply have more of everything, space-wise

[silk zephyr]

There’s an ice rink in MK but I think that’s the only permanent one near me

[lone dove]

what a finish to that round of women's SBX!

[silk zephyr]

How did Charlotte do????

[lone dove]

4th, knocked out in an upset

sorry 😭

[silk zephyr]

Nooooooo

[lone dove]

Australia got in there

Omg yes it snowboard cross day

My favorite event

[silk zephyr]

Im gonna have the figure skating on the TV and the snowboarding on the laptop when I get home

[unique wing]

I am about to get out of bed and go sit on my couch to sit in front of my SAD lamp watch an hour of Olympics this morning

[lone dove]

Gold for Australia, wow!

Oops, the Peacock commentator for the men's biathlon made an incorrect call and then said live on a hot mic "for a re-air will we be able to redo that?"

[unique wing]

Ope

[oak geyser]

only our 8th in history I think first time we’ve gotten multiple in one Winter Games?

[lone dove]

YES our US women's first ever win vs Canada in curling!

[wary shell]

There’s two pro teams in Florida. It’s very unnatural and dark energy.

GUESS WHO JUST WON BRONZE AGAIN

-# Rodger Sherman (@rodger.bsky.social)
new most bizarre moment of the Olympics just dropped

Norwegian biathlete wins bronze medal, then, totally unprompted, reveal he cheated on his GF, she left him, and he wants to apologize publicly hoping she takes him back

And here they throw us out there with ⚽️ because we can’t play 🏈

[cosmic jasper]

figure skating starts in 20 minutes right?

[lone dove]

Peacock broadcast starts in 5

[cosmic jasper]

trying to get my ducks in a row at work

we’re closed monday so it’s chaos

[silk zephyr]

I’ve just got to my building I’m like running up the stairs

[cosmic jasper]

oh goddamn men’s halfpipe final is also this afternoon

[lone dove]

one of these men's programs coming up has him becoming the pope at the end? well now I'm looking forward to that

[cosmic jasper]

the belief on the internet is pope guy is dating minions guy

i think

[lone dove]

that's so funny

[pseudo steeple]

With zero knowledge other than that they’re pope guy and minion guy, that seems entirely believable

[lone dove]

already hate this version of Eleanor Rigby. like why

it's already a perfect song

[granite idol]

We’re moving tomorrow so the internet is getting switched to the new house today so I have to watch the Olympics on my phone like a dweeb

[lone dove]

Miura is winning me over with this music choice, ❤️ Les Parapluies de Cherbourg ❤️

[silk zephyr]

Betsy has joined me

[lone dove]

Not a great program of course but. more Jacques Demy/Michel Legrand pls

[silk zephyr]

Had something happened to him

Like before the Olympics

Commentator acting as if his family died

[lone dove]

idk I don't recall NBC commentators mentioning

[silk zephyr]

He was mad about his score but dude you fell

Oh no!

Snowboarder big mad too

Excellent music choice tho I love rag n bone man

[pseudo steeple]

I’m watching skeleton and learning that my loyalty to Germany can switch up very quickly when there are Brits competing 😆

[silk zephyr]

« We have never seen this before » well you still haven’t because he fell on his bum

[lone dove]

stfu "ai analysis" on the NBC halfpipe broadcast

[last pulsar]

Pierogi sighting!

[lone dove]

and it's just point tracking which has been possible for years without LLMs

[silk zephyr]

So close!

Wow he looked like he was going miles down the half pipe

[lone dove]

that was massive

maybe I'm just impressed now with any halfpipe snowboarder who doesn't end on their butt

but that looked really great

[silk zephyr]

Scotty is in danger

[lone dove]

oh time for The Orientalism Program

[silk zephyr]

I don’t understand it

Like they know it’s racist right

[lone dove]

I'm sure the ghost of Edward Said has better things to be doing but maybe just clatter stuff around this Swiss guy's hotel room tonight

[silk zephyr]

Big scores already in snowboarding

[lone dove]

Japan going big.

[silk zephyr]

Noo Scotty

OH HI CHLOE

Ok break in both snowboarding and figure skating wee time

Thought you guys really needed to know my bladder schedule

[lone dove]

Weston's time is really holding in this skeleton heat

Still can't ever count out the Germans and Austrians in sliding for the final go.

[silk zephyr]

Never underestimate an Austrian or German

They’ve done a few things over the years

[wary shell]

They slide to school

[pseudo steeple]

I want to know why Britain can only do head first on tea tray down a slope and not feet first

[wary shell]

Because luge is French word

[silk zephyr]

Because we all want to do a swan dive

I note there’s no drone for the half pipe, it’s a camera on ropes

[pseudo steeple]

It was when I went past the special high school just for kids training for the winter Olympic sports that I understood why the Germans are good at many of them

[silk zephyr]

I hope they have 3 Japanese flags ready

I love scottys helmet

[cosmic jasper]

good job scotty

[pseudo steeple]

Ooh that was very nice

[lone dove]

2nd place, very nice!

[silk zephyr]

I don’t think he thought it was very nice

[pseudo steeple]

I think he did until he saw the score

[silk zephyr]

Oh yeah I meant the 2nd place

[pseudo steeple]

Must be very annoying when you have a legendary run but someone had a more legendary one

[silk zephyr]

Im enjoying this music

Wow

[lone dove]

hey did you know Max's parents died a year ago in a plane crash

[silk zephyr]

Eteri jump scare

No Max 😭

[cosmic jasper]

aw max 😭

[lone dove]

aw 😭

he's a baby he'll have future chances

[cosmic jasper]

did you know his parents are DEAD

[silk zephyr]

I love his music

He’s fighting so hard

[cosmic jasper]

bless him

[lone dove]

yes listen do I want him to overcome and succeed with his tragic backstory yes very very much I just don't need to be reminded 50 times whenever he appears or comes up for any reason
