Kindly post you Olympic thoughts/comments/observations here!

WOOHOO!!! The USA hockey ladies just made Olympic hockey history, by scoring two goals in just six (6) seconds against the Russians!

With a lot of events they don't highlight what country the person is representing very well and the "uniforms" are often generic and don't denote the country either.

is this a globalism thing?

I just hope Trump doesn't politicize the Olympics!!!

Huh? One color team on ice is one team, and another color is other. USA jersey says USA in big letters on front!

Need glasses? :unsure:

Woohoo! USA ladies beat the crap out of the Russians 5-0 by getting 50 shots on goal vs. Russia getting only 13! They disallowed 6th goal after review, saying was result of a hand pass.

BAD wipeout by USA ladies luge run!!! :cry:

Canadian girl awaiting to go next looks pretty upset. They may have to postpone event.

I was just mentioning those pointy things on the sled could be DANGEROUS if they wipe out, and then it happened!!!

Cool! And small world! Not one, but TWO of the girls have brothers that were on my Orlando Solar Bears roster!

Dani Cameranesi on the USA ladies hockey team, is obviously the younger sister of Tony Cameranesi, on Solar Bears roster last season!

I say "obvious" because the are two years apart in age, and born in towns 5 miles apart.

Same scenario for Amanda Kessel! Her brother, Blake Kessel was on Solar Bears roster, 2013-2014, are also 2 years apart in age, and were born in same exact town!

I only care about hockey, so is a red herring!

The Swedish-Finlandish hockey game was quite a nailbiter!

Sweden won 2-1.

I am happy that nations can come together for a bit of friendly competition.

Well. I suppose it gives profits to those who sell the right drugs. I preferred amateur sport, when there was any.

You are just full of BS today.

That's so weird that merely watching the Olympics causes folks to increase legal and/or illegal drug use!!!

I admire your lady ice dancer, in spite of having a shattered knee, she is still doing very well.
