Just finished watching the U.S. women's Curling team get defeated by the Swiss. The commenters were saying the US made some tactical errors in the 4th end.

Well done Channel 4

The Russian Police Choir, singing...

Get Lucky, Daft Punk

Every 4 years, I'm amazed all over again by the size of the speed skaters' thighs. My God. They're like cannons.

My favorite corny description by an Olympic announcer (describing the slalom ski course): "It'll turn on a dime and give you nine cents change."

I love watching Ice speed skating and Speed high jump

go Deutschland (Germany) and aussie :)

But it shame about russia which is anti LGBT

Seems like they used to be even bigger. Remember Eric Heiden? It makes me wonder if they weren't all on steroids back then.

Tonight looks kind of dull. Plus creepy Matt Lauer is replacing poor Bob Costas, who is going to stay in bed all day with compresses on his eyes. Hoping Bob will be back.

I do want to see the women's ski jumping. I always thought that would be a fun thing to do.

I do a mean ski jump on WII. I always thought the little dorky WII icon looks like it has to pee, the way it pulls its knees together after it lands. But it turns out the real ski jumpers do that too. Heh.

I'll miss Bob Costas too. But you've got to love Johnny Weir's homage to Bob's pink-eye. In fact, you've got to love Johnny Weir, period.

Olympic Medal Countries and type of medal won ......

Infuriating.

Male NBC announcer mansplaining about the Women's Downhill and the 3G forces around a turn:

"...all they have is their Lycra suit and a little bit of make-up".

WTF!

OK, if I hear the word "twizzles" one more time, . . . . *gnashes teeth*

I admit I have been terribly worried about Bob Costas' eyes…most relieved to hear he will be returning tomorrow!

Watching over tea this morning....

Curling is a weird sport.

I can't help but to laugh at the sight of Olympic athletes frantically scrubbing the ice; brows furrowed in concentration, lol. Is this sport actually played anywhere outside the Olympics?

P.S. Apropos to nothing, I've always wanted to luge. It looks thrilling!

I'm watching the mens downhill freestyle competition (aka aerials), and they keep wiping out because the snow is so melted that it's slush. I can see the ground (or grass or green scrub) peeking out through the snow. In some places in the landing area, there is more green stuff than white stuff. Who thought having a winter olympics in a subtropical climate was a good idea?

Oh yeah. Putin.
