    Nine, We must get on this.
    What? Buying Olympic-clothing look-a-like pants? Or getting money?

    look-a-like pants
    That pants company is the actual supplier of those curling pants. I found it in an article explaining the story behind the unique pants in question.

    If you haven't seen it yet, you NEED to watch this ENTIRE performance. I can't believe he didn't win gold.

    Awesome, but quite obvious why he didn't win gold.

    Why can't olympic ice skating just be that?

    Agreed. It saddens me, but he done fucked up. Also, Lysacek's program was much better tailored to the scoring system.

    Relevant.
    Many have said that Johnny Weir was unfairly judged, and his performance was definitely great, but it would seem that it was also of rather low difficulty.

    You gotta give it to Lambiel's spins, though. Takahashi, on the other hand, I found difficult to appreciate. EDIT: Watching it again, I've changed my mind. It's a pity his attempt at gathering points got in the way of great choreography.

    Good luck.

    As I said, Sven Kramer wins the 10km, only he made a wrong crossing and got disqualified. He still finished 5 seconds before the current winner. But gratz to the Korean. Instead Tuitert grabbed the 2nd gold medal on the 1500, before Davis. I haven't checked the Team pursuit, but those are interesting sometimes.

    The Canadian women win the gold medal vs the United States. 2-0. Not really surprised, it is their sport after all.

    Danish women's curling. Three amazing words.
    Photo 1andphoto 2.
    So, according to a humorous Tumblr blog I read, Dupont actually did a nude photo shoot to promote curling. And so did 25 other female curlers, and it got published as a calendar by the European Curling Federation...

    I think they need medals for that much dedication to sliding rocks on ice.

    Today I learned that curling can get you into really good shape.

    I recall at one point, The crowd heckled and harassed Madeleine Dupont till she burst into tears. Poor form, assholes, poor form.
  • NerdcoreWannabeNerdcoreWannabe
    Really churba? That is quite poor form indeed.

    I find it curious to me that my knowledge of the Winter Games is limited to Stephen Colbert and forum trudging.
