    Curling

    I'm up $150 on my two curling parlays so far. 
    You  bet on curling 
     Man thats hardcore
     Tip of the  hat sir!

    Also put $10 on Lindsey Jacobellis at +1100 to win the snowboard cross gold so it's been a good Olympics so far.
    Well done

    These Olympics are better than golf for putting me right to sleep.

    I find the time difference the only bad thing. I'm waking up and watching the skiing replay with my coffee.

    Snowboarding Half Pipe last night was sick. Insane technical tricks back to back, just amazing.
    The announcer disagreeing with the judges was hilarious, but he was totally right, then the guy who got hosed did an even better run for his last run and won it all. So cool.
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    I was watching the first 2 competitors on the pipe and was sooo bored with what hey were doing.  Then the 2 Japanese kids come up and BAM!!!!  What a breath of fresh air.

    Ayamu Hirano threw down a Triple Cork!  He had a flawless run and only a 91 score?  Cmon man.  The announcer was right.

    When he came back on his next run and did ANOTHER Triple Cork and thre even harder tricks in the mix than his first run, was he rewarded.  Good on the announcer Richards for calling the judges out like that.

    The other Hirano brother was throwing down some nasty tricks but kept falling on his third trick.  he had some sick height too.

    Shaun White got 4th.  He needed to bring a little more to get a medal.  I was nice to see the ovation the other boarders gave him after his final run.

    I never would have predicted a Canada v US gold medal final in woman hockey…that is such a competitive sport, any team could be in it..

    I've never been less interested in any Olympics - I usually watch a lot, and this year I haven't watched anything at all... I'm not sure why, but I think somehow covid has something to do with it, or China, or both.
    The world feels different now, so the Olympics do too.

    Why Usain Bolt ate chicken nuggets for every meal at Beijing Olympics


    The food must suck in China…

    It’s wrong these Olympics were held in China.  But it appears everyone is chinas bitch…
    Article says nothing about the food being bad in China.
    Well he did say it was the only food that he could trust with his stomach.  Usually  bad food bothers your stomach.  So take it what it is.
    Eat yogurt w every meal.

    This has been your public service announcement...
    If you can’t trust the food, I probably wouldn’t trust the yogurt either. Bring a bottle of probiotics from Costco.

    The food is one of the things I would love to experience in China.
    If I was an athlete  I would not eat differently during events than I did during training.  That seems like a gimme, to me

    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Yogurt from the area is good.  It's made of the local ingredients

    Sunday at 1.05am as China is 8 hours behind but they'll rerun the next day on the BBC quite a few times.
