[Tournament] Winter Olympics - Vancouver 2010 - WHOSE GAME IS IT, BITCHES (Shin has no teeth)

So who else buys into the theory doing the rounds that it was lack of practice time that led to the Georgian dude getting killed? Practice time limited by the Candian team using the course all the time so they can win a load of medals. Apparently quite a few other luge type athletes have said the course is (literally I guess) a deathtrap.

The winter olympics have always largely passed me by, primarily because we simply don't so any winter sports over here except curling, and that's gay.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I watched the 5,000 metres (I think) speed skating last night and the Dutch guy who won it did so by a country mile. It's not even his strong distance apparently. It's horrible to watch though because even though the guy's a clear 6 seconds up on the nearest competition, he's still got to make it the distance without falling over. I'm sure that professional speed skaters (Well, very good amateurs, who'd ever let a professional sportsman in the Olympics?) hardly ever fall over but I suspect it happens to them more often than it happens to runners.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So I take it Canada won the ice hockey then? I've never really watched ice hockey but I saw the womens' final which was entertaining enough. Not so much that I'd start watching NHL or anything but I'll keep an eye on it next time the Olympics are on.

If you thought Canada put on a shit closing ceremony, just wait until London hosts the 2012 Olympics, it's guaranteed to be a farce from beginning to end. The way things are going it'll be a miracle if there's a stadium to host the athletic events, the Olympic village won't be finished and the public transport in the area (Which is currently one of the highest crime-rate areas in the country) is laughable. We'll probably have similar weather to these Olympics too.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Whoever did that mash-up, it's pretty seamless, good job.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
