Winter Olympics 2014

The athletes are told to not say anything bad about the host country. They are the last ones to listen to right now.

 

thats not true ^^

 

Do you feel that the media from so many countries all got together to tell the same lies?

 

what ? which lies ?

do we discuss about the olympic games or the problems in russia ? so you are saying that the IOC tells athletes to say only positive things about Sotchi ? LOL

 

You said to listen to the athletes, not the media at the Olympics. As if the media from various countries conspired together to tell lies. They are just reporting what they see.

The IOC is not telling athletes not to say anything negative as far as I know. The coaches from the various countries tell their teams to only comment on their event in a positive light as they always have to not seem ungracious.

 

Basicly are the athletes told, to keep the politics out of the games, according to the olympic spirit

 

With Irene Wüst, we have the 1st gay gold medal in 3000m skating

 

This run is sick! Lot of airtime for the athletes

 

Nothing for us today at the women's biathlon 7,5km sprint, but at least 2 of our girls are in a good position for the pursuit.

Now I hopning for Felix Loch to win gold in luge

 

This little Russian figure skater is awesome. Looks 10 years old.

 

in terms of crapty construction and publicity!
now go back to wife beating larry!;)

 

Got our 1st medal today - gold for the luge rider Loch :)

On a side note: They launched a firework, after the Russian athlete Demtschenko finished his last run, even if Loch, who was the leader after 3 of 4 heats, was waiting at the start of the track. But hey, they got the firework, we got gold

 

Simon Schemp did better than expected in the men's biathlon pursuit. Almost had a chance to fight for silver or bronze, but missed the last target.

Just saw the medal ceremony of the women's ski combination. Gold for Germany
Love how Mancuso celebrate her 3rd place. Always liked her more than Vonn anyway

Anoter medal for us is in the making. After 2 of 4 runs, Geisenberger and Hüfner leading the field in women's single luge

 

Go on YouTube and see the luge run of India's Shiva Keshavan. He has a crash at 80 mph, and somehow gets back on and completes his run. There's also a video of him practicing in India where there's no ice and no luge courses, so he has to practice in the street.

 

India and luge - sounds like an oxymoron

 

i am waiting for synchronized downhill snow pissing tonight in the female category.
