Apparently the door that got stuck was supposed to have been installed on a closet (you know, in order to keep people in it)

so do you people who love curling actually really enjoy it? or is it more of an ironic thing because it's such a retarded "sport". i really can't tell anymore

Why are there judges for the ski jump? Shouldn't it be just whoever jumps the farthest wins?

Back in '06 me and some friends were watching a women's curling match waiting for dinner to be ready before our weekly poker game. And listening to the skips screaming one guy said "if you had no video and only audio you'd think this was porn".

Curling is fun to watch because you can look at it and it's relatively simple to understand what to do (get stones closest to middle of circle), but can be difficult to execute.

NBC is convinced that figure skating is the only thing that takes place in the olympics, despite the fact that it is easily the only event that isn't an actual sport.

Wrong, the coverage on NBC is a tv show. You can see all the actual competition on nbcolympics.com

Yeah, the app is decent, but trying to navigate the website is a total pain in the ass. Their schedule page always takes you to Feb 6th, and most of the "options" links on the page will take you back to Feb 6th, too. There's zero information on any of the venues, there's no schedule at a glance page, and the site has issues on different browsers. Likewise, if you look at results pages and click on one thing to see a split or something like that, when you close the "pop-up", it takes you back to, you guessed it, the top of the page. Oh, want to see the 3rd round times? Well, back to the top of the page you go!

The US ice dancing coach is also the Canadian ice dancing coach? that should be against the rules, pick a damn side.

US Women's curling lost this morning to Switzerland. A couple loose shots in the middle ends were their downfall.

I have a feeling that the streaming NBC Gold Zone is going to carry me through this week of work. Kinda like the NFL Redzone channel, with Andrew Siciliano and all

Holland sweeps another speed skating event, except this time, the timing mechanism showed Smeekens win Gold, but the photo finish picture moves his time back and he gets Silver.

caught ski jump practice during lunch, I feel like there should be snow or ice or something on the jump. The landing is snow, but the ramp is like pvc slots for the skis.
