Starts 9th February 2018. Are you going to watch now that Russia as a nation has been banned from the competition? (individual Russian athletes can still apply to enter under the olympic flag)

[Eddie.]

almost forgot it was that soon! I am gonna watch it, unless they rig it in favour of the competing Russian athletes...

[Calderyon]

^ Why would they rig it for them?

[Eddie.]

Maybe because Russia is a big powerhouse in Winter Sports, so them not in it may decrease the main audience, idk tbh...

If that´s the case they wouldn´t have banned them from the Olympics though.
(If they wanted to rig it for them)

Otherwise i do see what you´re saying.

I think you´ll find that Mexico and Morocco are gonna struggle massively in Winter Olympics. With Moroccans having 3 athletes and Mexico having 2 athletes on the games.

no expectations for them, so they can just do their best if it isn't good enough, bad luck

but it is a wonderful experience for them i think

I wish the bobsleigh did a loop the loop and a jump?

thats the problem with Winter Olympics for me, no imagination

is that the actual logo in the OP? How drab

[Calderyon]

Choosing to root Mexico, Morocco and Japan is pretty random though.

No love for your homeland of Netherlands then?

my homeland well, i already know some are going to win medals very boring


ski jumping is a sport i am starting to really love, some are really good and figure skating also a nice sport, i can see USA getting a few medals there

[Nicky91]

so rooting for Noriaki Kasai, oldest japanese olympian at ski jumping 45 yrs old i have so much respect for him

[Nicky91]

Sven Kramer icon will be winning few gold medals for us i am 100% sure about that

[Denver]

Come Thru Jamaican and Nigerian bobsled team

[Calderyon]

Mixed curling: Finland 0-3 after 3 draws (matches). With 4 matches left and the next one is against Canada, i think its game over. I bet they´re gonna lose every single match on this.

[Nicky91]

Norway 1-2-3 confirmed

[Calderyon]

I do dislike Norway.

Also Finland´s games have been a disappointment so far.

why, that bronze medal was unexpected at skiathlon ladies


and i still hope for 500m men speed skating Poutala to take that one, at least a medal


Janne Ahonen isn't medal worthy anymore sadly at ski jumping

Not that much of a surprise, maybe a little one at best. Pärmäkoski is a good skier. It was nice though. Sadly Sweden won that.

I hope Poutala and/or Koskela can do it. But i have my doubts, since they have a history of choking up in the most important games.

Also Finnish Ski Jumping and Nordic Combined has been in a serious down for quite a long while, so that´s not surprising. I don´t think we´ll ever be on that top level again tbh.

And Ahonen is 40 years old, so i wouldn´t expect him to do good. Just sad that the young ones are also crap at this.

[Calderyon]

Our mixed curling team was an embarrasment, a 1-6 record (wins-losses) and last place in the tournament.

The moguls skiing is so impressive, must wreak havoc on your knees

Have skiied mogul runs a few times and takes me bloody ages to get down
