Hyva Suomea!!! come on, guys.

That’s not ideal.

Ok, seeing the scrum just before the Slovakia ENG from the goal cam was cool to watch... Unique angle to see the chaos of that unfold.

Slafkovsky's career Olympics totals: 8 games, 9 goals, 1 assist. He's only 21 years old.

The US Men’s Curling Rink looks a student government class on a field trip, complete with faculty advisor.

I hope this Di Tomaso guy listens to Pantera.

Pretty crazy to see Italy SWEEP doubles luge, taking gold in both men’s and women’s.

Who knew the biathlon athletes would yield the messiest news cycles.

- The Norwegian man who won bronze and promptly admitted to infidelity with his wife.

Girlfriend. Not wife.

Doubles luge may be the weirdest concept for a sport.

“Alright, we’re going to have you go down the track again, but this time someone is laying on top of you.”

It would be interesting to see how they evolved into that- I can imagine they started on a sled like two kids front to back- until they figured out that lying down gains a lot of speed.

Wonder how many g's they pull in the corners- the poor person on the bottom....

Now that Finland uses their Coat of Arms on their jerseys I’m often reminded of this graphic, which I find delightful.

Saw some meme about winter olympic sports who had to be created by drunks. "We'll go down the icy track again, but this time face first!" "We'll plow through the snow on thin sticks on our feet, but with guns." " We'll hurl ourselves hundreds of meters through the air at 70 km/h and try to stick the landing."

“I want to be a Luger”

“Hmmmm, are you a top or bottom?”

So is Canada that good or is Czechia that bad?

(Or, more likely, somewhere in between)

The US’s curling teams need to start learning another language, like Spanish, or maybe Spanglish, because every other team in the tournament knows their plans while they can’t understand a lick of what every other team has planned.
