    Still believe it was a terrible decision she made to try with that knee

    Gotta feel kind of bad for the woman who actually won that event.

    I don't think her leg was the cause of the accident.  She clipped a gate with her shoulder.  The leg just paid the price in the yard sale.

    Hard to blame Vonn for trying.  I know they have other skiing events but the Olympics only come alone once every 4 years and this was going to be her last time anyway,  I give her a lot of credit for trying.  Really sucks to end that way.

    The drone camera's have really added a cool element to the coverage. It was great on the skiing so far.

    During timeouts in Super Bowl flipped to the Snowboarding flips or whatever its called.  The tricks these kids today can do in mid-air are insane.    have enjoyed this so far.

    She needed to make a sharp turn off her left leg heading into the jump, which was harder due to her very recent knee injury.

    And on her final run she fell flat on her face!!!
    Nothing injured but her pride. 

    I told my wife I felt like lighting a cigar. 

    She still got a Silver.

    The French pair skaters shook the skating world yesterday by beating the American team for the gold! The French pair have only been together for less than a year

    Vonn's leg injury is much worse than I thought.  My buddy years ago was in a real bad motorcycle crash where he almost lost a leg and it looked like Vonn's after the surgery.  Yikes!  She is a tough cookie.

    Fuck Tom Wilson.
    Hockey players getting hurt during a non league tournament is a bad look.  Know the players want to play (of course) but you get paid millions to play for your NHL team.
    Dammit.
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Womens snowboard cross.
    I like this!
    Downhill run, with some jumps thrown in.
    4 ladies on the course at the same time, with the top 2 advancing.

    On a fucking snowboard?

    Sunday morning
    Women‘s Giant Slalom Run 1


    Curious result before No.14.
    Was already curious with starter No.1+2 😉

    Different now, but Run 2 should be thrilling stuff.
