2022 Beijing Olympics: Don't Mention the Slaves

I'm watching the USA women;s hockey game this morning. I thought NBC said they weren't sending any commentators to the Games and they just did a between periods interview and one of the commentators was there onsite.
 
The only thing I'm interested in about these winter games is the Japanese women's curling team. I'm sure mookie is as well.

I don’t know how we’re doing spoilers (does anyone care enough at this point?), but it’s just a prelim game so here it goes…

Recorded the Canada-Switzerland game last night and was doing a bit of a speed watch this morning. Apparently NBC deemed the 8-0 score after 2 not competitive enough, so they bumped it from USA to Peacock. So that’s cool. Final ended up being 12-1, shots were 70-15, and from what I saw Canada probably should’ve won 20-1. They missed a ton of easy opportunities with nothing but an empty net to shoot at.

US beat Finland 5-1. Finland is supposed to be the definitive third best team, so if that’s the case, it’s going to take a monumental goaltending performance and a couple lucky shots to have this not end up another US-Canada gold medal game.

Game was 5-2. It's going to be an interesting tournament now that Brianna Decker is injured and out of the Games.
 
For all my perversions, and there are many, I will just never understand yellow fever.

1. Redhead
2. Blonde
3. Grace Jones
4. Any of our fungible maids
5. A sock
6. Utter loss of interest
7. Eastasia

"Yellow fever" sounds so Old Pio but I digress.

I dated a Korean my first year in college and in my unhitched days those same years encountered several others including Japanese, Chinese, Thai and Filipino. The superiority was unleashed on multiple levels including intellect, sense of humor and steam, and from there I never looked back. They were not meek, dutiful nor lacking in opinion and assertiveness.

To each their own brother.

Oh, this isn't yellow fever. Chinami is just so dammmmmm cute. A bundle of joy on the curling sheet.

Watch a game. The whole Japanese team just has so much fun out there. When they won the bronze at the last Olympics, I think the other teams that they had beaten were just as happy for them as they were for themselves. They're just fun to watch play.

And Chinami is soooooo effin' cute.

Just have it in Europe from now on.

North Americans are vulgarians and everybody else has fascism or slavery.

Rotate it between France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, and Germany. Everybody else is a loser.
 
So I'm not sure what's the point of Team Figure Skating. Seems that it's only there for the dominant countries to show off their dominance. And to spread the figure skating from one week to two. I don't recall past Olympic shows, so it will be interesting if the shows repeats for the main show.

It only came about in 2014, it's mostly just for TV because figure skating is really the only thing that draws ratings.

c.f. Snowboarding.

It's so Ma and Pa Flyover will watch, except this one doesn't inflate our medal count.
 
Why is snowbaording any more ludicrous than curling or even short-track skating? It's a winter sport, only the best in the world make the event (yes I know but you get the overall point) and the competition can be quite compelling at times.
