[lone dove]

yes

[silk zephyr]

Is the power play just when the other team has a penalty?

[cosmic jasper]

yes

[silk zephyr]

HAHAHAHHAHAHHA

O CANADA

[pseudo steeple]

The German commentator got so excited

[silk zephyr]

I don’t know the rest of the words but I got the o Canada bit down

[lone dove]

wait what happened?

we're on commercial here

[silk zephyr]

Canada scored during an American power play

[pseudo steeple]

Love it

[pseudo steeple]

(Apologies to the Americans here, it’s not personal)

[sharp skiff]

lol my fault guys, i started watching and they scored, im bad luck

[lone dove]

oh my god, my stream was minutes behind for some reason until I hit the button to jump ahead to live

Peacock sucks so bad

anyway Jaws is a super fun film score choice that isn't Hans Zimmer

the shark fin shape with the arm during spins is a nice touch

[silk zephyr]

Im loving it

And so is she

[scarlet cedar]

boo no lilah and lewis

[silk zephyr]

It’s a shame coz they’re probably not going to do as well next season

Also I love her costume the sea with the blood very clever

[wary shell]

Given up a short handed goal. Very San Jose sharks of them.

[silk zephyr]

Why is the ref hugging that player

[sharp skiff]

to keep the players seperated

so they dont get in a fight

[silk zephyr]

Stupid

[sharp skiff]

thats hockey baby

[pseudo steeple]

Lou, you learning how hockey works is honestly delighting me

(In like a positive way not a mean way in case that wasn’t clear)

[wary shell]

NHL hockey may kill her

[silk zephyr]

Let them fight

I’ve actually watched NHL before

I fell asleep during it

Nothing against it it was just super late

[pseudo steeple]

To be fair my route into hockey was gritty appearing on my fyp and then I went to ask my hockey friend who on earth this creature was so

[wary shell]

Oh sweet Jesus

[sharp skiff]

honestly, what an incredible introduction to hockey

[pseudo steeple]

That was basically my reaction

[last chasm]

[sharp skiff]

heheheheh the eyes get me every time

[cosmic jasper]

please god tell me you’re not a flyers fan

[silk zephyr]

Oh she’s so excited

I see gritty and blue on my fyp

Im aware blue isn’t hockey

But they seem equally unhinged

[cosmic jasper]

gritty has his own unhinged section in the arena

you buy tickets knowing he’s going to be crazy

[pseudo steeple]

I am not an anyone fan, not in that deep (yet) so I will keep this in mind 😂 (said hockey friend is a flyers fan more than anything else, though she is far more interested in telling me who I should not like than the opposite)

[cosmic jasper]

oh i bet she is

i’m a penguins fan

[silk zephyr]

Does he get to keep the puck?

[lone dove]

yeah

[silk zephyr]

I only ask the important questions

In rugby we have to throw the ball back if you catch it

[pseudo steeple]

The swan plushie is cute

[lone dove]

Like baseball if you catch a homer that's yours now.

They have more balls/pucks.

[silk zephyr]

Rugby evidently does not

The ball boy/girl gets mad if you don’t throw it back

[lone dove]

hi Kristy Yamaguchi

[silk zephyr]

Let’s go Amber!

YES

She looks so much happier than Tuesday

That’s redemption for Amber

[pseudo steeple]

Oh I’m so glad she had that skate

[lone dove]

https://giphy.com/gifs/nbcworldofdance-cute-fun-world-of-dance-fnK0jeA8vIh2QLq3IZ

[pseudo steeple]

She looks so proud of herself and so she should be

[silk zephyr]

100% should be that was amazing

Interesting that it was the loop again that didn’t go amazing

HES

YES

[pseudo steeple]

Oh I’m so happy for her

[granite idol]

Omg yay

[pseudo steeple]

Remarkable resilience

[silk zephyr]

she definitely needed that mentally

[pseudo steeple]

It’s brutal this format in some ways

[silk zephyr]

Just accidentally closed my tv immediate panic

Discovery is telling me that the last quarter of ice hockey is starting

I’ve watched all of like 3 days and even I know it’s not quarters

I thought I’d start personalising my treat bags tonight but my iron position is too far from the tv 😭

[cosmic jasper]

period

there’s only 3 of them

so not quarters

[silk zephyr]

Thirds

[clever void]

Amber Glenn's long program was NEARLY perfect, good rebound from the error in the short

[silk zephyr]

And she rightly got a seasons best score

Is that a tattoo down Alysa’s leg or is it her tights

[pastel pilot]

I was worried about Amber when she fell in the warmup

but she did so well

[silk zephyr]

In dance comps we used to always say fuck up the final rehearsal and you’ll do well in the comp

[sharp skiff]

idk like a word with whomever scheduled the womens free skate and the womens hockey finals to be at the same time

[pseudo steeple]

I imagine they think the audience doesn’t overlap but I am in that overlap

[silk zephyr]

Warning there’s a carmen coming up

We’re all in the overlap tbh

SUNSET

I can’t figure out which version this is. It’s not Sherzinger or Page I think

I like the coaches tartan tie

Oh no someone’s hurt

[last chasm]

Absolutely hate Curl

[silk zephyr]

Ok I hate them too

[sharp skiff]

exactly this lol

i am the overlap and i am ANNOYED

[silk zephyr]

Oh they’re starting the winner chair drama

Aerin on bench 6 skaters in

Is that a good idea

[lone dove]

it's not looking good

Oh no

[lone dove]

Hilary you ICON, engaged to your girlfriend and scoring the goal to keep it alive at the last moment

[cosmic jasper]

LFGGGGG

[silk zephyr]

So what happens now if they draw

[cosmic jasper]

overtime

[small phoenix]

Need a Laila Edwards jersey BAD

[cosmic jasper]

and then if they’re still tied it’s a shootout

[last chasm]

WHERES THE TRIP

[silk zephyr]

Is it sudden death or a certain length?

[pseudo steeple]

Oh this is exciting

[last chasm]

I .so stressed I can't do my work

[cosmic jasper]

sudden death and then if they’re still tied time runs out it’s a shootout

[silk zephyr]

Interesting

[last chasm]

3v3 20 minutes sudden death

[cosmic jasper]

i think those are the rules they play with here

[silk zephyr]

3v3 including goalie or no?

[cosmic jasper]

3v3 plus goalie

[last chasm]

3 players and goalie

[wary shell]

In the 2018 games this game went to shootout shots

I don’t think I can emotionally handle another shootout, but we move

[silk zephyr]

That makes more sense than what I was imagining

[pseudo steeple]

I have moved closer to the TV. I wish I could get rid of the curlers (no offense guys, there are some close matches but)

[silk zephyr]

I have figure skating on big tv (appears to be potential orientalism now woo) and hockey on my laptop

[pseudo steeple]

This is the way to go I think

[lone dove]

it's Dune for the Estonian skater. so yeah a certain flavor of Orientalism

[silk zephyr]

Oh I haven’t seen dune

I apologise to her

[lone dove]

it's been a criticism of the books forever

[silk zephyr]

« It’s as if we haven’t started the game yet » great comms

[lone dove]

I can't take this. OT

[last chasm]

I'm running to get more snacks at qork

[silk zephyr]

Of course this break isn’t coinciding with a figure skating break so I can’t go make Betsy dinner

[cosmic jasper]

i was watching on mute before hilary scored i was so stressed i cant do ot

[lone dove]

omg AND that goal put Hilary Knight in the all-time lead for Olympic goals scored for women's hockey

[silk zephyr]

Of course it’s this part of carmen

It’s a three hour opera my dudes there’s other parts

[granite idol]

I went to go update my coworkers because they aren’t allowed to watch tv at the front desk

[wary shell]

Of course

[silk zephyr]

Here we go isabeau

[wary shell]

They tied the game bc I manifested a goal inside Costco.

The men don’t get this.

[lone dove]

thank you elbee

they should send you a medal

[silk zephyr]

Oh no!

[wary shell]

What happened Lou you gotta tell me

[granite idol]

Isabeau fell on her first jumping pass

[silk zephyr]

She just seems off axis now 😭

[pseudo steeple]

I’m too lazy to google, can someone tell me why it says “bonus time” at some point in the routine?

[lone dove]

you get bonus points later in the program for jumps cause your legs are tired

[pseudo steeple]

Thanks 😁

[silk zephyr]

But they’ve also had to limit the amount you get because people were loading it deep in the second half lol

[wary shell]

Sorry to the queen of New Jersey, but I have to save my powers for hockey

[pastel pilot]

her outfit reminds me of barbie of swan lake

so pretty

[pseudo steeple]

Aww she looks so disappointed which is understandable but still

[silk zephyr]

She’s smiling in the kids and cry at least

Not even the softball team.

[cosmic jasper]

GET HER JOHNNY

[silk zephyr]

Just sides

How many players in total on the team to get medals

They won’t zoom out so I can count

[cosmic jasper]

every single player

[silk zephyr]

Oh my god they have multiple medal presenters

[silk zephyr]

Yes I understand that, how many is that

[cosmic jasper]

yeah they have to bring out multiple trays

[silk zephyr]

And multiple IOC members are giving the medals

[wary shell]

Up to 23 members of a team

[silk zephyr]

Should do it like we do in rugby, the medal givers stand in a row and the players go to them

[wary shell]

20 skaters. 3 goal tenders.

[small phoenix]

I want to care about the USA mens but I hear nothing but awful things about those men…

[cosmic jasper]

i think it should be disqualifying if your coach got caught doping another skater

she shouldn’t be allowed to coach period

get a new coach or don’t compete

[silk zephyr]

My commentators are saying that Russia will be back for the next Olympics ok peace makers tell me more

[cosmic jasper]

a few of them are okay but the bad outweigh the good

[last chasm]

The og reason why they were banned was drug usage.

They can always re-review it

[silk zephyr]

All I know is there are two sets of twins, one has one who sees ghosts and the other ones were maga

[cosmic jasper]

jack and quinn aren’t twins and they have a third brother not on the team but in the nhl

and brady and matthew aren’t twins also not twins but fuck them

jack and quinn’s mom works with the women’s team

[small phoenix]

See that’s why I can’t go all in with men’s sports. Too many truly awful characters.

[silk zephyr]

I was close

She’s pissed at that score

[cosmic jasper]

you just learn to criticize them all

[silk zephyr]

Also my comms mentioned Eteri and said she was « controversial » understatement of the year

[wary shell]

She’s EVIL TOO

[silk zephyr]

Also my comms are convinced Amber was over scored

[pseudo steeple]

They’re allowing some of the paralympians to compete under the Russian/belarus flags this time but I’m not sure the background

[cosmic jasper]

they can get fucked

[silk zephyr]

Why is this a search suggestion

[cosmic jasper]

amber is an angel and deserves to be overscored always 🫶

[lone dove]

either there's someone else out there with that name (plausible)... or it's just that the weirdos are "transvestigating" literally everyone these days

[cosmic jasper]

it’s really killing me now that the short program happened because amber you should be on that podium 😭

[wary shell]

You all

[silk zephyr]

It’s a CAS decision 🙄

https://www.france24.com/en/sport/20260217-paralympic-governing-body-lifts-ban-on-russian-and-belarusian-athletes-ahead-of-2026-games

So Ukraine is boycotting and the EU commission is boycotting the opening ceremony

Wow the Canadians looked pissed

So doing some more digging. The international Paralympic Committee lifted the ban first, and then the governing bodies for the sports said fuck no except ice hockey but they had already picked the teams for the games, then a case was brought against FIS (ski and snowboarding federation), and they lost, so they’ve had to have the 6 para athletes

[lone dove]

ALYSA ❤️

It’s past the watershed in Italy it’s fine

[wary shell]

Hahaha FOM gonna fine her

[pseudo steeple]

It was just such a confident routine but not in the typical way that’s expressed

[silk zephyr]

I love her smiley but I also want her to get rid of it so it doesn’t ruin her teeth

[clever void]

More skaters should use disco staples. High tempo, sweeping rhythms, lots of strings

[pseudo steeple]

I love seeing the coaches happy too

[silk zephyr]

Mona is like I know you’re gonna beat me yay

WOWOWOWOWOW

I had to leave work to get home to my baby and got home just as Alysa finished so I will have to go back and watch later

[silk zephyr]

She didn’t do the combo

She nailed the second one tho

Her skirt is caught in her back

She won’t win, but what a beautiful way to end a career

[lone dove]

so beautiful

[pseudo steeple]

Her skating is just somehow especially beautiful to me

[silk zephyr]

Same

It’s like she’s skating on air

Oh bless her

Oh god Kaori

[pseudo steeple]

Oh dear. All those emotions together

[silk zephyr]

They better fucking invite her to the gala if she doesn’t get on the podium

I will be flying to Milan if she doesn’t

Conquer my fear of flying just to get her in

she has great ice coverage

[silk zephyr]

I don’t understand because she’s so small and zips everywhere

[pseudo steeple]

I like how they were two very different routines but yet it wouldn’t be unfair for either to win imo

[silk zephyr]

They’re saying her mark is going down and it doesn’t look like enough

Her first mark I mean

Or her second mark

[wary shell]

Amber is more nervous than Alysa

They’re marked safe because the president doesn’t invite women’s teams to the White House.

[silk zephyr]

Lmao the cut outs of her head

And no Russians on the podium woo

[pseudo steeple]

I do love when people with unconventional stories win. I’m sure loads of people said Alysa would never win again if she took time away.

[wary shell]

They used to be and his group would tell him fuck off anyway.

[silk zephyr]

It shows what taking time for your mental health and then doing something solely for fun instead of pressure can do

[cosmic jasper]

sorry i was running laps

[wary shell]

Wowww

[pseudo steeple]

Like guess what you can take time away and not make winning your one and only purpose for every second of your life and still win

[silk zephyr]

She is going to get $37,599 from the USOPC

[wary shell]

I stayed following her Instagram that was private during her retirement. She was having fun.

[wary shell]

And not a penny more.

[silk zephyr]

Good for her

[silk zephyr]

But probably a penny less with taxes

[wary shell]

IRS gonna want that tax return Alysa. I’m sorry.

[wary shell]

Yea no help getting to the game and one of the lowest reward money because it comes from the USOC not government.

Why they have so many sponsors.

That’s a rock for Olivia

another home football game for me and another boatload of good sporting victories (minus the hockey) being watched whilst i’m there

when i said a week ago that ilia was the only american i root for, scratch that and throw in alysa

[cosmic jasper]

if i had a nickel for everytime i watched an athlete talk about how winning isn’t everything and that they do what they do because they love what they’re doing proceed to win at the highest level possible in their sport id have two nickels. it isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened twice

big few months for me as a lando norris and alysa liu fan 😂

I didn’t think there was a rink in San Francisco

I guess it’s over by the convention center I don’t go over there it’s too far

Totally insane. It’s the first thing I saw when I put on Olympics this morning and it was a shock to the system lol

[wary shell]

Hilary was chosen for closing ceremony flag carrying. Also Evan Bates he’s there to bring to 🧍‍♂️ energy.

[cosmic jasper]

and he’s there

[wary shell]

He’s just happy to be here. He will need direction.

[cosmic jasper]

yes because the one who usually steers him will not be present

[wary shell]

Thankfully the Captain will be there.

He didn’t use a therapist before this I’m going for a drive

Had to use Martha Stewart and Snoop? Jesus Christ.

[cosmic jasper]

oh lord

[lone dove]

Simone give him a referral I know you have an excellent one

[wary shell]

Simone was going to rappel from the rafters.

[lone dove]

Captain Hilary is in the building to watch her fiancee in the 1500m

[sharp skiff]

What a week for Hilary night, multiple records, engagement and a gold? Insane

[pseudo steeple]

If I read the sentence “Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart… have been helpful” with no context I’d really wonder what sort of problem it was

[lone dove]

du du du du etc etc

Wow the Czechs really murdered Crosby, he's still out with that injury

[cosmic jasper]

he’s alive and skating so thank fuck

but yes not playing

as a penguins fan please stay off the ice and heal

[wary shell]

I would be thinking marijuana would’ve involved.

That coat is built for the tundra.

[lone dove]

It looks so amazingly cozy

Just needs fur lining on the hood.

[cosmic jasper]

one of my favorite hobbies every olympics cycle is browsing ralph lauren and being sad it’s all so expensive

[lone dove]

me with Dale ("dah-leh") of Norway

I received the cardigan version of the Calgary '88 design (light variant on the left) as a gift and won't ask how much was spent on it. It's beautiful

Hockey getting exciting now!

[wary shell]

I just saw Lindsey Vonns xray. My god.

Open only if not sensitive

[last chasm]

Jesus. Yeah I dont dont think she is returning to sport

[lone dove]

Welp. The Finns had to try it

[wary shell]

I am crying at th house republicans congratulating Alysa. They saw she was born in Clovis and thought they got lucky.

She hates you so much my dudes.

[wary shell]

They’re up to something.

The last 3 biathlon athletes decided to wait and have a sprint together at the end.

[silk zephyr]

Idk what to do with myself now the figure skating is over

[wary shell]

Rewatch it

Be ready for worlds

[lone dove]

hockey's not overrrrr

nor curling

[silk zephyr]

« Just a racing incident » in the short track

[silk zephyr]

I can’t watch worlds 😭

[cosmic jasper]

exactly

[wary shell]

How about a gala

Also Amber posting on tiktok and took us for the jump that cost her a medal

First time doing a triple it was fun

[silk zephyr]

I can’t find where to watch it in the UK

Ah apparently it’s on discovery+ so I can watch!!

YES

[unique wing]

At that point just replace the whole bone, she can be a cyborg, why not

[lone dove]

Worlds will be on the same channels/platform as the Olympics here in the states, maybe Discovery+ will have that for you too Lou?

[wary shell]

Whats why Marc Márquez was in her Instagram comments. He’s also more metal than man.

[lone dove]

It's March 24-29

[cosmic jasper]

i also think worlds will be on youtube

[silk zephyr]

So apparently for worlds it’s on discovery+ but with the sports pass which I don’t have. The free skates are shown on BBC so I can watch that hopefully

[silk zephyr]

It was last year but I can’t see it confirmed anywhere for this year which makes me nervous

[wary shell]

The Canadian skiing half pipe guy just destroyed his ski and toe piece binding just snapped. Painful.

[lone dove]

the short track distance races are funny because they look downright sedate compared to all the other speed skating races

[wary shell]

Roller derby if they held hands

[lone dove]

Someone has to have tried ice derby. Is that a thing? It seems like it should be a thing.

[silk zephyr]

The Americans are causing problems in the short track

[lone dove]

Where aren't we causing problems

[silk zephyr]

She looks in agony bless her

Cute how they sit on the boards to wait

[lone dove]

OMFG

[silk zephyr]

The fact they’re not showing the polish skater is concerning

[lone dove]

how is he upright

[wary shell]

OW

[lone dove]

that looked backbreaking

[wary shell]

HE HIT THE WAL

his skis ended up in France

[pseudo steeple]

Oh no

[cosmic jasper]

crashes in halfpipe are horrifying

like my god

[lone dove]

base of the spine directly into the edge of the pipe

[silk zephyr]

Oh fuck

[pseudo steeple]

I’m glad they cut away quickly

[silk zephyr]

BACK ON HIS FEET

[lone dove]

hm maybe he hit butt first and got at least slightly cushioned

[wary shell]

I think he did

[lone dove]

could be a tailbone injury

[silk zephyr]

Fat assess are good for something

[pseudo steeple]

I thought he hit his legs but I could be wrong

Maybe top of legs/butt

[wary shell]

Thankful his pelvis was entirely on the top of the half. Pipe

So jr wasn’t on the edge

[silk zephyr]

Oh I’ve just see the slo mo

Fuck

[pseudo steeple]

Ouch

[silk zephyr]

« I regret nothing » insane

Insane

And he’s said he’s coming back next Olympics

[pseudo steeple]

Yeah that was awful but lucky it wasn’t just slightly different position wise

[silk zephyr]

INSANE

[pseudo steeple]

These people are insane I think by definition

[wary shell]

He’s threatening people in four years already

[silk zephyr]

A threat and a promise

Omg am I about to see the haunted hockey player for the first time

Knowingly I mean

[wary shell]

Yes

[silk zephyr]

I love how that’s all I know

[wary shell]

Him and his brother

Make sure it’s not J Hughes

[silk zephyr]

Not his twin as I was corrected

Close enough tho all twins are brothers

[wary shell]

His mother was a 1992 world champion in hockey before women’s hockey was added to the games.

[silk zephyr]

Ok i stan

The mum not the men

[wary shell]

Lol

[silk zephyr]

Mums are iconic men are not

[wary shell]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellen_Weinberg-Hughes

Sorry silver medal in 1992

She won gold as team advisor for the women yesterday

[silk zephyr]

Still iconic

[wary shell]

In spirit.

[silk zephyr]

An American won

[lone dove]

Lacrosse there too I see. Bougie.

[wary shell]

There was four of them in this event final

[silk zephyr]

Oh they rich

[wary shell]

The odds were in the favor.

[silk zephyr]

Betsy just burped in my ear I s2g

She is so glad I love her

[granite idol]

How is this man haunted ? I am not privy to men’s hockey

[silk zephyr]

Idk he just falls over air and looks like he sees ghosts

[pseudo steeple]

I honestly thought everyone was exaggerating but no, no they were not

[wary shell]

He does the Carlos stare on the ice and the bench.

People say he has ghosts.

[silk zephyr]

With Carlos it’s himbo vibes

[wary shell]

With Quinn it’s haunted Victorian

[silk zephyr]

Exactly

[pseudo steeple]

Carlos lacks the Victorian pallor

[wary shell]

Quinn is from Florida I think but he played for Vancouver and now Minnesota so he hasn’t seen sun in a couple years

[silk zephyr]

Gus is definitely not British but yay team GB

[pseudo steeple]

Born in Chelmsford but emigrated to the US aged 2. Openly gay and got death threats for speaking out against ICE too so indeed go him

(Yes I did just read his wiki)

[silk zephyr]

Oh

Ok

YAY GUS

[pseudo steeple]

This was me reading his Wikipedia page 😂

[wary shell]

Are you talking about Kenworthy?

[silk zephyr]

Yeah

Once again these hockey jerseys are entirely too similar

[wary shell]

Yeah he definitely grew up in both counties he’s in the middle

Poor guy

[cosmic jasper]

he and jack were born in orlando but not luke and they were raised in toronto and michigan

mostly

[pseudo steeple]

His mother is British I think and she goes by pip even though that is not her name so that also got gus points in my book 😂

[scarlet cedar]

imagine being the 3rd brother that didnt get the olympic pick

could never be me, i have way more potential than both my sisters

[cosmic jasper]

luke on a beach the past two weeks like 🧍‍♂️

[wary shell]

That’s damning evidence

[silk zephyr]

« The two most annoying people in the NHL » vibes

[pseudo steeple]

I was gonna say could never be me but as I’ve mentioned before my brother played field hockey at a near national level whereas I’ve picked up a hockey stick of any type about twice so even though neither of us have ever played on ice, i know who I’m backing 😅

[silk zephyr]

You, obviously

https://tenor.com/view/america-patriotic-eagle-usa-patriotism-gif-9438241

[cosmic jasper]

i was just looking at madison chocks instagram and literally every post that’s a joint post between her and evan it’s on her account first and hes added to it. really in every aspect of their lives he’s just there

ignore where i posted this before

anyways

[wary shell]

Does he know he exists

[silk zephyr]

What’s icing

[wary shell]

The puck was sent down the ice unsupervised which is not allowed

It’s to stop other teams from just throwing the puck to the other side of the ice to calm things down

[silk zephyr]

So if there’s no one where you’re hitting it to?

[wary shell]

And the key indicator is if no one touched it if someone touched it on the way by that’s fine

Like you can’t hit the puck across their goal line without it being touched if you’re standing behind a certain line

[sharp skiff]

lol really brilliant that the majority of the Slovakian players on that PP last name ended with sky

Made for excellent color commentary

[silk zephyr]

Ooo golden

Are you guys also getting video of the metro?

[pseudo steeple]

But I’m on the same coverage as you to be fair

[lone dove]

It was an ad break

[silk zephyr]

Well you missed a cute lil metro

I love the whole thread in this post. US culture is so toxic in many ways and this is one of them

Red wings is an interesting name

Very over 18

[lone dove]

First I've heard of it being "over 18" I don't think that's slang here (obviously, or they wouldn't have chosen it)

[silk zephyr]

In the UK you get your red wings when you go down on a woman on her period

[lone dove]

The weirder thing about them is the octopus.

[wary shell]

It’s a very 1930s name here

[wary shell]

That might take her out

The Detroit octopus.

It’s real dead octopus.

[sharp skiff]

Oh man so glad I’m here to see Lou learn about the octopus

[silk zephyr]

They’re into hentai too?

Oh my god someone threw a real octopus on the ice that’s cruel

Those poor workers

[pseudo steeple]

Huh that is actually one I’ve not heard but it also does not surprise me

[silk zephyr]

I did not go to a good middle school lol

[cosmic jasper]

it’s very cute you think it’s only happened once

[silk zephyr]

@pseudo steeple does your sound keep messing up

[silk zephyr]

No I can see it’s many times but still disgusting

[cosmic jasper]

nashville does it with catfish

when the penguins were playing nashville in the stanley cup final our big local fish wholesaler was checking id so people that weren’t from pittsburgh couldn’t buy catfish to throw onto the ice

[silk zephyr]

Does it not smell

[pseudo steeple]

No but I was listening to the speed skating not the hockey

[lone dove]

Seafood on ice just smells like it's going to be dinner, it's fine 😂

[silk zephyr]

« So surprising to see the tchuck brothers in there »

[silk zephyr]

This is getting cruel

Leave the poor Slovaks alone

[lone dove]

this is looking like the US women's games before the final

[silk zephyr]

Are they just leaving the broken stick on the ice

[last chasm]

Yeah they do that until a whistle

[granite idol]

Is the hockey game still going ?

I’m trying to put my child down for a nap but he is fighting it like it’s an Olympic event and he is going for gold.

[lone dove]

technically yes

still the 3rd to go, but the US is up 5-0 so

[last chasm]

Oh yeah USA going to go to finals

[granite idol]

It should be like curling where the losing team can concede so they don’t have to get annihilated for another period

[silk zephyr]

Wooooooo

[lone dove]

It's nice for them that they got on the board.

[silk zephyr]

Random question, do they switch ends between periods?

[lone dove]

yeah

[silk zephyr]

Oooo more tram shots of Milan

[cosmic jasper]

hockey is so wild though you can come back from 5-0

very quickly

ask @wary shell how i know

[silk zephyr]

Wooooooo

[wary shell]

What a game that was

[oak geyser]

punch him harder pls

both chucklefucks!!!! fuck off go home

[silk zephyr]

Why is one of the Hughes have his first initial and the other doesn’t

[scarlet cedar]

I really thought he broke his pelvis. They made him get on the medical thing after and took him to the hospital via helicopter.

[lone dove]

The Spanish sent to super jail in skimo, the one event they can medal in in winter.

Ah no. Just a 3 second penalty. There was an asterisk and the commentators thought that meant DSQ.

[unique wing]

I have not been paying close attention to the curling and it feels close but Wrong that America and Canada are in a match for a medal together… but the bronze medal 🧐

[lone dove]

The US women have never medaled so it's huge that they're even in contention for bronze

but Canada yeah, disappointment for them

I can't even blame the French for making me suffer in that women's biathlon mass start because the highest placed Norwegian was 8th.

[wary shell]

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15579845/Owner-dog-gatecrashed-Winter-Olympics-TV-cage-door.html

He was just following mom to the event venue

I love the start in mass start or distance short track events - it looks like a false start hahaha

I was leaning for that end of curling.

[lone dove]

Whew. Keeping it close.

[wary shell]

For marketing purposes, I realized last night that they’re calling the next winter games “French Alps 2030” and SLC is going to be “Utah 2034”

[lone dove]

I don't like this.

[wary shell]

They are not doing well

[lone dove]

Surely there's a town in the Alps they could have picked.

[wary shell]

I thought there was!

I feel feel like my memory is losing it

Most of it is Albertville sites

Kind of like the using the park city stuff. They just don’t want to use the same name and then there’s LA going this whole country is Los Angeles even the event in Oklahoma.

[pseudo steeple]

Quite the spread of venues

[wary shell]

LA 2028 has them beat with the spread.

[lone dove]

I guess it's better to spread out to use more existing venues than a singular location having to construct everything it doesn't have or doesn't have up to standards which then get abandoned after the games.

[wary shell]

LA is spending most of the money building a subway instead of venues I think.

Only a couple of them like beach volleyball and BMX are true temp venues.

[lone dove]

LA is building a subway? Huh.

[wary shell]

Yeah well there is some already, they’re connecting the airport to it.

[lone dove]

That's got to be unbelievably expensive

[wary shell]

IOC gave them a billion dollars to go after Paris.

They said thank you good bye.

They wanted 2024.

But they fake cried all the way to hte bank.

Canoe Slalom and Softball are in Oklahoma City due to the venues being there being some of the best and they couldn’t be matched.

Softball made sense, but I’m not sure about the canoe part but alas.

Some World Cup level venue.

Who knew.

[pseudo steeple]

Honestly think it’s better to use existing venues rather than building new ones but at some point it gets a bit absurd to call it the games of one city

[wary shell]

Yeah

[lone dove]

Yeah. It's just different and feels weird to be "French Alps" or "Utah".

[wary shell]

LA is not actually a misnomer if you call it Los Angeles County 😂. We just don’t look the two events thousand miles away.

[pseudo steeple]

Maybe I’m just biased but French Alps sounds a helleva lot better than Utah

I’m even up for like multi country hosting tbh

[lone dove]

Utah does have good skiing.

They just also have a smelly lake and Mormons.

[pseudo steeple]

Oh not about the events themselves

Just the name

I know nothing about winter sports venues

Apparently French alps are refusing to build a long track speed skating venue

And so they’re thinking about putting it in Italy or the Netherlands

[wary shell]

Was long track added after 1992?

[pseudo steeple]

Google/wiki says 1924

[wary shell]

They used an outdoor track in 1992.

Last time they used one.

It’s a track and field venue now.

[unique wing]

RIGHT

They’re all just meandering 😂😂😂

[wary shell]

Bronze medal game going down to the final end

[unique wing]

I thought you were joking saying that an event for the LA Olympics was in Oklahoma, just fun hyperbole for comedic effect 💀💀💀

[wary shell]

The top 8 get a diploma.

[wary shell]

The softball World Series venue is there. Otherwise the women were going to need an entirely new venue that wasn’t a college softball tiny place or having to use a baseball field which is not kind and second rate.

The compromise I guess

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devon_Park_(stadium)

Four fields up to code otherwise I could only imagine how far apart those fields would have to be

It’s only added in American and Japanese hosted games

[unique wing]

This men’s mass start is dumb

[wary shell]

No one is bothering to chase the Dutch

Hes 40 lol

Lol Jordan

[unique wing]

The commentators were just like uhhh this has gone on too long, they won’t be able to catch these guys???

And they didn’t and that was it

[wary shell]

The strategy was not good

Final stones in curling

They tried hard.

Csnt believe curling is over for me

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZThqjGWjR/ the jackets are air! We’ve been lied to!

I’m going to say it, the sprint points are giving stage wins in NASCAR.

Is this where they got that idea?

The women’s race has less annoying strategy.

Canadian looks hurt.

Not another gap.

GAMESMANSHIP

Belgium with a bold strategy here.

The Dutch.

[unique wing]

I cannot watch the women’s currently 😔

[wary shell]

It was crazy in the end.

[unique wing]

I will watch when I am stationary again

Ooh I can’t wait!

[wary shell]

There’s crying.

Like good crying.

Just learned there’s no women’s parahockey it’s a mixed event so many feel the sport has stagnated.

[silk zephyr]

Well that was fun

[silk zephyr]

The Canadians are being so obnoxious and loud are there Americans there

[wary shell]

Don’t let them gaslight you they aren’t like that

Especially around sports on ice.

There needs to be more Scottish flags.

[silk zephyr]

Oh my god I’ve just realised these are the CHEATING Canadians

[lone dove]

[wary shell]

[lone dove]

v cute, would sip an Aperol spritz on it if that's allowed

[wary shell]

Going to watch the gala bc men’s curling is the only thing going

[lone dove]

I have both. I need to see Team GB humiliate the cheaters.

Not easy even if they don't cheat though.

Speaking of hockey I saw an American complaining on Twitter last night that they didn’t change the time of the hockey when they knew it would be USA vs CAN

Awww they have the Italian flag too

[wary shell]

That person was trying to get engagement because they had a paid twitter account I’m not falling for it

They’ll probably cash out a couple grand over it

Easy money.

[silk zephyr]

That was fun

She doesn’t even look like she’s having fun in the gala

Ok now she does to be fair to her

That was cute

Oh commentator shut tf up

Surprised NBC isn't skipping some of the skates to show ads since the IOC didn't schedule in breaks

Precise and efficient, you could even say.

And then men are disappointing

[lone dove]

Welp the cheaters won gold.

[silk zephyr]

They’re not even gonna shake th hands of the Brits?

Great fake phone work Ilia

Those are Charles leclerc levels of jeans

I bet if he’s watching he’s googling for a pair

Remember up next we have wee wee instead of oui oui

[sharp skiff]

Oh he is acting!!

[silk zephyr]

Is this what you wanted into a backflip is poignant

[lone dove]

this is appropriately emo

[silk zephyr]

Considering his 3am reposts very apt

I don’t think it was much acting

[sharp skiff]

You could see him working through his emotions though his art, I loved it

[silk zephyr]

Crying a second time I need something fun next

[sharp skiff]

Also the hoody hood was a paid actor

[silk zephyr]

My one note was going to be “don’t wear a hoodie and then get annoyed when the hood comes up” 😂

Well this is boring

YES KUNG FU OANDA

[sharp skiff]

Hahaha yes the panda is back!!!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE

[silk zephyr]

give him the gold medal of the gala

“He’s not going to get far in that costume” JUST YOU WAIT

[sharp skiff]

My question is how he packed that

[silk zephyr]

I think they overnight shipped it

I want to know which two men he made do this with him

[sharp skiff]

Comedy at its finest

[silk zephyr]

I’m sorry is that deadpool

[lone dove]

lmao

[sharp skiff]

Johnny weir is shocked by the fart bit lol

[lone dove]

amazing

[silk zephyr]

I love that the men’s and women’s gold medalists both have a fuck it mentality

[sharp skiff]

It’s the best and probably honestly a part of why they are such good competitors

[silk zephyr]

I love that also Jack Black must have signed off on this

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZThqa4uuF/ I didn’t realize they actually had the dodgers/kings organist for the proper hockey aesthetic

[sharp skiff]

That is an especially funny thought

[silk zephyr]

INCREDIBLE

[wary shell]

Cartwheel in a panda outfit

[sharp skiff]

Omg Jackie Chan himself that’s brilliant

[silk zephyr]

“He might have chosen something else if he knew this would be his future” absolutely not he was destined to be kung fu panda

That’s incredible

It always makes me laugh how skaters walk on land

Some of them do a lil penguin waddle

I think he is more into this song than she is

[silk zephyr]

I think they may have forgot what they were doing there😂

I love that the commentators are keeping their traps shut through all the performances

[wary shell]

Same

[silk zephyr]

Holy fucking shit

Oh her dress came undone

So he was doing it up

[sharp skiff]

ALYSAAAA TIME!!!!!

[silk zephyr]
