the Bocelli part is nice. not an Ed fan to say the least

even if they need to talk about his parents they should talk about how he’s carried on running his parents figure skating school

Drama in the snowboarding

God I feel so bad for Scotty this is all he needed

He was so close too

#

It’s crazy I think the Olympics are just a mind block for so many athletes that they just can’t do as much

pseudo steeple
#

It’s very interesting, it’s why I like watching

#

The pressure does strange things to people

silk zephyr
#

The Russian is going annoyingly well

pseudo steeple
#

My goodness I just was reminded the next games are 2030

#

Such a made up year

silk zephyr
#

Im really glad daniel barefoot isn’t barefoot on the ice

pseudo steeple
#

I’m trying to decide if I’d prefer to do luge or skeleton

#

I mean obviously neither

#

I feel like skeleton is slightly less bad

silk zephyr
#

Omg hi rapper who sponsors the women’s water polo

#

He also supports US skeleton!

lone dove
#

if you could wave a magic wand and guarantee I won't crash I'll do either

#

which I guess you could apply to many speed-based things

lone dove
#

there we go!!!! 1-0 USA

I don’t know much about hockey but that did look nice!

Incredible from Sato

#

Dear god im sick of bolero

Setting a track record on your final run and winning gold is badass

We've already blasted up to 4-0 in the 2nd. The massacre part of this game is underway.

Incredible for Shylarov

lone dove
#

lol when I heard there was a program ending with the guy becoming the pope I was going to JOKE that the music would be from the Conclave score

#

Okay period outfit reveal

ope the hockey got a bit spicy there

wary shell
#

No fighting allowed i am sure they’re sick over it

silk zephyr
#

I think Shylarov is going to medal

small phoenix
#

I wonder what the American coach was yelling about. He was shouting something happened FOUR TIMES! FOUR TIMES! What was it? lol

silk zephyr
#

He is!!!

#

Shaidorov is getting a medal

#

OMG

sharp skiff
#

Kagiyama is such an artist

#

I love his style so much

lone dove
#

I'm so nervous

silk zephyr
#

Shaidorov is like wtf is happening

#

He has a silver medal at least

#

Well he’ll get a silver unless malinin just doesn’t skate lol

wary shell
#

I have perfect timing.

silk zephyr
#

Will we see the quad axel

#

Or because he doesn’t need it will he leave it

wary shell
#

The eternal question

silk zephyr
#

SINGLE AXEL

#

DOUBLE LOOP

#

wtf is happening

#

Is there bribery involved again

#

I want to know who the voice is in his music because it’s unsettling

wary shell
#

Is it his

lone dove
#

it's his own voice

silk zephyr
#

Oh

#

Well no offence Ilia

wary shell
#

Full offense

silk zephyr
#

I don’t like it

#

OH MY GOD

#

I can’t breathe

lone dove
#

I mean, he may be the quad god but this is his first Olympics and it shouldn't be too shocking to see nerves taking a toll

wary shell
#

Yeah

silk zephyr
#

I didn’t expect him to fall twice

wary shell
#

What the fuck

#

Three time

#

Throw those skates in the trash they’re cursed

silk zephyr
#

Oh he’s crying

#

He’s so mad at himself

lone dove
#

Shaidorov gold would be a WILD result

silk zephyr
#

Will he even medal?

sharp skiff
#

Poor kid, you could tell the nerves really got to him

wary shell
#

I don’t think so

last pulsar
silk zephyr
#

I don’t see how he can fall so many times and downgrade so much

lone dove
#

oh god he's devastated

wary shell
#

His TikTok reposts have been concerning people

silk zephyr
#

Im shaking

#

I think this will be the first Kazakh skater to medal at the Olympics

#

Oh no they’ve had a bronze before

lone dove
#

social media is going to be a shitshow with the Ilia haters going off

#

I mean I guess it would have anyway

silk zephyr
#

OH MT GOD

#

that’s so much lower than even I thought

wary shell
silk zephyr
#

Oh Ilia giving him a massive hug

#

Mikhail looks in complete shock

#

Oh and Sato is sobbing again

#

And Yuma is like woooooo Sato

#

AND THAT’S WHY SPORT IS THE BEST TV

silk zephyr

This is mind blowing

#

You NEVER know what’s gonna happen

silk zephyr
#

I’m on an adrenaline rush never mind the skaters

cosmic jasper
#

holy shit

silk zephyr
#

Meanwhile Yuma is like the most chilled person

#

Do you think they had a Kazakh flag ready for the ceremony or is someone sprinting to a supermarket

wary shell
#

Theres still 18 min left in the period for the hockey game.

silk zephyr
#

Shin Sato rushing to put his boots on I’m dying

last pulsar
#

Honestly it’s probably not the worst thing that he lost, he’s young, he’ll bounce back. And it gives him something still to chase.

wary shell
#

Amber we need you

cosmic jasper
#

i wouldn’t be shocked if the way people talked about him got to him

#

people have been nasty all week online

I'm so looking forward to Amber's individual

Oh they’re re showing Ilia for us that’s cruel

I do think in every sport you should have to bow to the judges

It’s fun

Sometimes they don’t deserve it

Oooo interview with Malinin

pseudo steeple
#

Pressure is such a strange thing. He’s young, he’ll be back. I feel for him tonight though.

silk zephyr
#

He’s speechless and in shock

#

Yet he’s saying a lot of words

#

He’s saying it’s out of his control and he’s going to look towards the future

sharp skiff

Wooof this poor Italian women’s hockey team

silk zephyr

I don’t think I’ve ever heard the Kazakh national anthem

Getting absolutely walloped by the USA

At least not deliberately

So that free skate huh

Especially as Ilia fell he should’ve won but also fell

Uhhhhhmmmm how did I not know how hot the USA women’s teams coach is

silk zephyr

Oh my god he’s so cute!

Mikhail I mean not the coach

#

Im not watching the hockey

#

He’s so tall compared to the Japanese

#

Awwwwww Shun Sato is an emotional boy isn’t he

#

Shin

#

God my spelling is off tonight

#

Also did you guys hear they changed the medals to stop them falling off

pseudo steeple
#

I couldn’t even jump up onto the podium in ice skates without falling on my face

silk zephyr
pseudo steeple
#

Oh I love a surprising result. Something very special about that at the Olympics

silk zephyr
#

There’s so many Kazakh flags in the crowd

#

Awww Yuma has his plush tucked into his medal

pseudo steeple
#

I was wondering if there was anyone else from Kazakhstan in the area but clearly yes

silk zephyr
#

Yeah the commentators were implying there was 0 but considering I can hear them singing along to the anthem they’re definitely there

#

It’s a long anthem

pseudo steeple
#

He looked confused by the anthem for a second and I wondered if they’d got it right 😆

pseudo steeple
silk zephyr
#

I think he’s confused by the situation overall lol

pseudo steeple
#

Probably thinks he’s dreaming

silk zephyr
#

Oh gotta take the Samsung selfie but Sato doesn’t know how

#

I bet he’s going to have a long sleep tonight

pseudo steeple

The tiptoeing across the carpet amused me

silk zephyr

It always makes me laugh

#

Like floor is lava

#

Kaori is there 😍

sharp skiff
#

My god the shot differential, 43-5 is absolutely insane

lone dove
#

Italy can't even catch a break at all, whatsoever

sharp skiff
#

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a stat line like that in the entire time I’ve followed hockey

#

US is absolutely suffocating them

cosmic jasper
#

hope they get the ice sorted

#

very strange all the big names who notably do not fall all had issues in similar areas of the ice

sharp skiff
#

I don’t think I’ve even seen them leave italys zone since I turned the game on lol

Final shot count 51-6. Wooooow.

Absolutely insane!

#

And still this showing for Italy is major for women’s hockey overall

lone dove
#

meanwhile uh they're going to stretcher a Swiss men's player off the ice, I didn't see what happened

lone dove
#

oof his leg got twisted and fallen on with the full weight of the Canadian player's body going down

wary shell

They tried to call him Russian but he’s kissing the Kazakh flag

Gotta love that Russian chauvinist pan-Slavic ethnonationalism. 🤢

This appears to show the Canadian possibly touching the stone as it's touching the hog line, but it's impossible to be 100% sure if there's physical contact since it's so fuzzy.

Cross country skiing looks like torture

lone dove
#

It's a pain sport, like marathons.

#

The best have that ability to somehow will their body to keep going when it's screaming to quit. It's fun more casually but competitive I could never.

last pulsar
#

The commentator called it a stamina sport, but pain sport is definitely more accurate.

the uphill sprints are the bit that really gets me

Was just watching that and it brought up repressed memories of my parents who forced my sister and I as a kids into cross country skiing and now I’m triggered 😂😭

pseudo steeple
#

It doesn’t look fast when you see them all together cause they’re all incredible athletes but then I see them collapse onto the floor across the line and I know it’s fast

sharp skiff
#

Like those ladies were GASSED after that. no wonder I hate exercise. I was forced to basically run a half marathon on skis against my will for years from like 7-12 years old

pseudo steeple
#

I don’t know who’s giving out roses but I love it

lone dove
#

I embraced the torture, not only cross-country skiing as a good young Norwegian-American but also doing cross-country running in the summers

#

I would never push myself that hard at it again though, because why do that to myself 😂

#

But I want to ski again, needless to say there's great cross-country trails around here.

pseudo steeple
#

I do kinda want to learn to ski but I’m not sure starting in your 30s is a good idea

unique wing
#

As someone who did alpine skiing as a kid, we always made fun of the concept of cross country skiing

#

Downhill means the gravity is doing it for you, why are you not using gravity to go somewhere on skis 😂

#

I’m watching the speed skating team pursuit qualifying and man, Canada is good

#

They were 7th (…maybe 6th) after the first lap, then ended up with the fastest qualifying time because they finished so strong

cosmic jasper
#

yeah that was wild

unique wing
#

I am learning—well, I’m not learning things about myself, but I am articulating things about myself that I hadn’t before in this Olympics

#

I sure do like timed sports better than artistic merit sports, and the faster they’re going the more I care 😂😂😂

wary shell

#

My interest:

  • individual sports judged on speed
  • team sports
  • sports judged on artistry

With exceptions that I don’t care that much about luge/bobsled/skeleton, and aerials is my single favorite winter sport because vault is my single favorite summer sport 😂

oak geyser
#

I’ve long held a disdain for judged sports

#

they just make up a greater proportion of winter

#

at least with smth like moguls the judging is only a portion

unique wing
#

Aerials and vault are like the potato chips of sports watching, it’s so quick and one-and-one that you can just keep eating watching another one and another one and another one 😂

#

If it’s going to be judged, make it last 4.3 total seconds and be spectacular 😂

oak geyser
#

I enjoy watching them bc like wow talented but then the judging pisses me off too much

pseudo steeple
#

Many Winter Olympics speed sports do generally slightly suffer from the lack of parallelness for me.

Like with motorsport, I prefer races than rally style stages.

#

I do like the peril of someone stood waiting to see if they will beat their time though

oak geyser
#

snowboard/ski cross are fun for that

#

I still think there should be one where they dump the entire field on the top of a mountain, designate an end point and tell them to have at it

#

“Just Get Down This Mountain”

#

there’s no course, just vibes

pseudo steeple
#

I need like a sport picker where it asks me these kinda questions and gives me some obscure sport I’ve never heard of to watch

#

And not like “cycling”

I want the niche cycling discipline

But over two runs they had the exact same time in both

for ties they must have spares of all the medals on hand, I wonder what they do with them at the end

pseudo steeple
#

I love how they’re sat side by side cuddling haha

lone dove
#

maybe they have a replacement program if you break or lose yours until they run out

pseudo steeple
#

I guess they also have spares in case one is damaged at some point before they give it out

#

I want to know what they did to fix the issue they had with them breaking earlier

Cause apparently they fixed it

I want this tie for gold

I’ve seen so much of it in these games

#

I do think sport is changing on that one tbh

silk zephyr
#

Idk if it’s me but I feel like it’s more prevalent in the winter sports than summer sports

pseudo steeple
#

I do wonder if it’s cause they see each other week in week out often

#

Which is true for some summer sports too I guess but not all

#

And also in this sport they seem to have injuries often so they know what it’s like to come back

silk zephyr
#

Yeah I mean like skeleton in the UK there’s one place to train and it’s the university of bath, so they spend pre season in Latvia with their team

lone dove
#

I don't understand why the gates in SBX open at different times. seems unfair

It’s because it’s a relay

Interesting. they’re careful with who can use symbols when and where here because of the obvious historical misuse (though the eagle itself is like Holy Roman Empire old) but I didn’t actually know that

Once again our US women's team has gone easy on the opponent in the 1st with just the one lil goal and then turned on domination mode in the 2nd

#

We're going to have to wait for Canada to get a real challenge probably

cosmic jasper
#

well we already ran all over canada once

true

#

that was shocking even though they were missing their captain

#

I'm manifesting a close and entertaining gold medal game

#

I appreciate it wouldn’t be safe but I think team ski jumping should mean they jump at the same time, bonus points for holding hands

Lol good hit on Curl

#

They want to fight so badly.

#

You know how hard it is for North American rules players to not fight.

AERIN FRANKEL THE GREEN MONSAH

People online are handling it well.

Another shutout.

I hope Aerin gets the best Caesar salad after the games.

If they do this again in the gold medal game... GOATs?

I am watching men’s ski jumping super team, a thing I just learned how it works 😂

pseudo steeple
#

I have no idea how it works

#

But I’m also watching

#

Two people per team, they both jump once (round one), they go down to the top 12 teams to jump again (round two), then down to 8 for the final round, and the winner at the end is from the cumulative score of all six jumps

pseudo steeple
#

But I’m also annoyed there’s no women’s ski jump super team (I googled why and encountered a Reddit post that didn’t make me less mad because it was mainly men complaining about how there are too many female ski jumpers at the Olympics already)

Monobob is so dramatic, they have the camera following the leader.

#

They split screen during Humphries run to show some men’s event they got no shot in smh.

Oh wow delaying the big air final due to weather but it makes sense from the images

Anyway back to curling!

They moved up slope style a day due to this storm

pseudo steeple
#

I mean it’s currently snowing horizontally as far as I can tell so I do wonder if they’ll get it going

#

Says decision soon though

wary shell
#

It’s not supposed to go that direction

unique wing
#

that's... not how that's supposed to work

pseudo steeple
#

The spectators are huddling for warmth but the Brits and the Swiss still have their flags up somehow which is entirely what I’d expect

wary shell
#

That tracks.

Simonaaa nooooo don’t hit the wall noooo

#

Leigh with the fun facts.

lone dove
#

Aw Simona

#

She's always been a trooper finding any way to do what she wants to do and have fun even when the results don't come

#

And it's just fun she did the reverse Divina Galica. Not many people, let alone women, have made an Olympics/motorsport transition.

silk zephyr
#

Wait she’s racing

#

I thought when you mentioned her yesterday she was in the crowd

lone dove
#

Yeah no she's competing in monobob for Italy (she has a family connection there)

silk zephyr
#

Amazing!

lone dove
#

I'm sure it was more realistic for her with lack of experience to make the Italian team versus Switzerland.

silk zephyr
#

A third of the Swiss are Italian anyway

Somehow seeing the ice pairs practising their lifts off the ice and just in normal workout clothes makes them look more terrifying

*figure skating pairs (my brain couldn’t work out what it was in English for a min 😆)

my addition to ski jumping commentary is going wheeeeee everytime they jump

You would be the person on the sci-fi movie set saying "pew pew pew" out loud like Laura Dern.

Come on Anastasia and Luke!

#

They keep talking about how Deanna is old like leave her alone

ageist Deanna facts

She’s 42 not 402

lone dove
#

Yes same exactly thank you 😂

silk zephyr
#

Oh no!

#

AND she has a concussion and yet it’s her partner who’s fucking it up

This cover of Come Together is not annoying me the way the Eleanor Rigby one did... still not better than the original
