Man, I laughed when they said “buzzer beaters” and then showed like five in a row. Felt like the announcer was trying too hard to be punny, but honestly it worked.

Ilia Malinen didn't make the podium in figure skating. I think it was a case of stumbleitis as consecutive skaters fell apart lol. The guy who didn't ended up winning gold.

I just don't get the Olympic grading. In free style if your going downhill with speed bumps and two ramps ah isn't the most important thing who finished first? Well no your form is important. I guess if your in a dead lock tie, but other than that there's really not much to it.

Just makes no sense. The bronze winner was substantially slower. Even she and her teammates were surprised. They need to start making required flips in the air because it's ridiculous you can win the race but lose the medal.

Think about it: it's the Olympics and they can't get it right. Make the requirements specific flips off the first and second jumps. Adding extras doesn't count because it's a race to see who finished first. Or just get rid of the race and make it difficulty and style and not this well her knees were not tight over the bumps gobbledegook. She won the f--king race!

Dual mogul was what I was talking about. Thankfully the Aussie won gold easily.

Women's cc relay- during Exchange 1, Sweden had a 13 second lead till the skier fell. Norway takes the lead and during Exchange 2, Sweden drops to eighth. Turns out the skier fell TWICE. Currently Sweden is in fourth.

My gosh Sweden has taken third and might catch second.

Jeez showed a replay of the fall and she had to stop and get the loose ski and wait for the tech to come and help her get it on.

I must be on replay cause Sweden did take silver.
