biathlon announcer guy is EXCITED.

this biathlon commentator needs to settle down a tad

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

when is curling, i only care about curling

2/8/2014 6:27:26 PM

They should have had the little girl fly over there and kick that last snowflake

2/8/2014 6:29:07 PM

anyone have a good tv guide? the one on nbc.com sucks, i want to know when to watch curling.

2/8/2014 6:52:13 PM

Curling starts Monday.

2/8/2014 7:48:06 PM

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

2/8/2014 7:51:48 PM

No, its a lot of fun to watch, it makes really good TV

2/8/2014 7:53:37 PM

i really fucking like it. it's good entertainment!

2/8/2014 9:08:15 PM

Snowboarders are the best interviews haha

The only thing that could make curling better.

2/8/2014 9:54:50 PM

2/8/2014 9:58:55 PM

^^ I don't get it.

2/8/2014 10:09:58 PM

Pushing a rock across ice isn't a sport.

2/8/2014 10:29:12 PM

It's more of a sport than dancing in ice skates

2/8/2014 10:29:34 PM

who gives a shit if its a sport or not, its a blast to watch

2/8/2014 10:33:15 PM

That 15 year old Russian figure skater was badass

2/8/2014 10:34:51 PM

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

2/9/2014 1:57:16 PM

Curling is fucking awesome

One of the best Olympic sports across both seasons

2/9/2014 5:04:15 PM

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.

Nice camera position on that bust ass

2/9/2014 7:46:00 PM

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.

2/9/2014 8:53:45 PM

the Olympics are a TV show

figure skating gets the biggest ratings

2/9/2014 8:58:06 PM

alpine skiing looks scary as shit

2/9/2014 9:11:12 PM

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

2/9/2014 9:12:26 PM

I have to say, the nbcolympics.com website is a total wreck.

2/9/2014 9:13:52 PM

I haven't used it, just used the iPad app which worked fine.

2/9/2014 9:14:45 PM

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!

I think it's a requirement that all snowboarders are potheads

2/9/2014 10:20:43 PM

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

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure they test for it

2/9/2014 10:35:26 PM

groan

2/9/2014 11:02:45 PM

The one Russian figure skater was cute as a button

2/9/2014 11:19:18 PM

I'd really like to know why the hell NBC won't be showing anything live the entire Olympics (so it looks) from midnight to 3am ET when that's 9am-noon Sochi time...

2/10/2014 12:14:14 AM

When did Tara Lipinski get so damn hot?

2/10/2014 7:28:01 AM

USA Women dismantle Switzerland 9-0 and clinch a semifinal spot.

June 10, 2000. though between her and Kwan, I had my fair share of early teen boners in the late 90s

2/10/2014 9:52:02 AM

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

2/10/2014 9:55:17 AM

meh

2/10/2014 9:59:55 AM

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

2/10/2014 10:34:22 AM

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.

2/10/2014 11:12:31 AM

2/10/2014 2:49:04 PM

USA women aren't looking so great against Switzerland in curling

[Edited on February 10, 2014 at 4:19 PM. Reason : shit nm we lost it's a re-run lol]

2/10/2014 4:19:15 PM

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.
