tazinib1 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Epic battle in men's curling. just left the bar during a 4-4 tie....damnit!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 She's still unapologetic for 2006. I hope she never wins another Olympic medal. what did she do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpholmes Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 what did she do? Had the gold medal secured with a HUGH lead on the boarder cross, and on the last jump she show boated and did a board grab. She slipped and ate it, finishing in second. Very, very dumb. Not to mention for the longest time she insisted the grab was to "maintain stability" and then admitted it was unnecessary and cost her the gold. She DQed out this year, after endless stories about how she was going to redeem herself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpholmes Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Shaun White is a god among little boys out there. Secures his gold medal with only his first run, that didn't even include his Double McTwist. are you kidding me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czarina Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 It was just remarkable to me how he's totally in a class by himself. Amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRU SOLDJA 22 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Lindsey Vonn, Shani Davis, and Shaun White Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimC Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 The US choked again. I know as much about curling as Hugh 0ne does about hair care products, but why is that guy on the end all the time? Couldn't we switch up positions so we don't have a hugh choke job at the very end? I don't know, maybe the guy is good, but those shots were basically wide open, including the night before. Like I said, I don't know much about curling so I really shouldn't comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Lindsey Vonn, Shani Davis, and Shaun White I missed Shani Davis, but the rest was outstanding last night. I didn't agree with Lago getting knocked down to bronze. I thought he had a better run than the other guy, but that's what happens in judged sports. Glad he medaled tho. Shaun White & Vonn are just ridiculous... Vonn afterward & on the podium was a great moment. Glad Mancuso brought the silver home as well, but did anybody else notice an uncomfortable vibe between her & Vonn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcat2334 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 awesome night all around! Shaun White was off the charts in the pipe, and Lago's first run was awesome too Vonn guts out the gold on a bad leg - awesome to watch, I hate her husband wow were there some incredible crashes on the downhill, some serious out of control air at the end of that crazy course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, very gutsy and dominant performance by Vonn, given how tough the course was. IMO the best part of the Olympics is seeing the athletes bask in that moment when all the hard work and sacrifice pays off. Vonn's interview after her run was as good as it gets. But my second favorite moment has to be: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeductiveNun Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I know as much about curling as Hugh 0ne does about hair care products, but why is that guy on the end all the time?

Like I said, I don't know much about curling so I really shouldn't comment. Sure they could switch it up, but they would have to switch it before the game starts, you can't change where you throw during the game. We were watching the match at the curling club last night, and a lot of us think Benton should be throwing skip rocks (he currently throws lead rocks - that is the first 2 - for Team USA). Reason being he's been throwing better than the rest of the team so far, and Shuster has been terrible with any kind of a pressure shot, not to mention calling a very questionable game. The fact that Benton is older than the rest of the team may help too as it looks like a case of nerves hitting Shuster on a regular basis. One of the legends of US curling came out and said the one major concern he had about the men's team this year was their age. I think he was spot on with that. On the other hand, Shuster isn't acting like the arrogant little prick I remember him as, so he's got that going for him. Which is nice.

Good to know he's an arrogant little prick when he's not choking on the world stage. Makes it easier to watch then. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcat2334 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 good gawd this place is losing it - after the best day in winter olympic history u dinosaurs are talking curling strategy? that downhill course was flat out nasty and those crashes were epic and Lago deserved silver - the Mctwist was awesome great great night of action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeductiveNun Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 OK, if you like I'll talk about skiing strategy. Go downhill, real fast. If something gets in your way, turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentastic Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 How awesome is it that Shaun White was able to secure gold on his first run?!! I also think it's cool that he had his own private half pipe built for practicing so his competitors don't know what he's working on. It's good to be king. And he's only 23 - I'd say he's got 2 more olympic golds in him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some great lines in that movie. Very funny And I shouldnt admit this, but after seeing BOD, I wanted to drive a black Camaro, be a great skier(even on one ski), and date a French exchange student Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
