Windy’s Olympic & Worlds Thread

[Tin Man]

For those occasions when Olympic level sports capture our attention (or, just Windy’s).

Winter Olympics 2022, I’ve watched some mixed curling. team skating - dance, pairs, ladies, and the US guy who killed it, USA women ice hockey, women’s short hill ski jump, luge, and short track speed skating.

I’ve got DTV stream through the end of February, however, I’ve already set up the smaller TV with Roku & YouTube TV. On YTV, I selected to cloud DVR some Olympic sports. We’ll see how that works out.

Too bad it’s in communist China so I can’t watch because of their immeasurable human atrocities.

I watched the biathlon and women's snowboarding

Yeah right buddy, we all know you only watch the men's figure skating

 

[Tin Man]

Watched some of USA women hockey team’s overwhelming victory, men’s luge final (US lugers bumped out of medal contention in fourth run), and mixed doubles curling. I was a curling fan before it was cool.

Practice sweeping floors, porches, decks, and patios.

Then TFG should qualify

Then TFG should qualify

Based on his job performance as my butler, I can say he is not Olympic ready.

Great idea.

Change yer avy

 

[theFallGuy]

I bet Joe would go super fast on the luge. Ever seen a midget on a sled?

 

[VolNExile]

Great idea.

Should have added: next time you have a multi-day cold snap, hose down your driveway multiple times to get it nice and slick, pull on some sneakers, and sweep that. Aim your Ring camera toward the action so that we can critique your form. Also a way to take advantage of Memphis’ next ice storm.

Yer welcome.

Mixed doubles USA vs Switzerland is an exciting match - Swiss lead 4-3 in the 6th end.

 

[Tin Man]

USA tied up in the 8th end!

 

[Tin Man]

Alas, the Swiss win the 8th end and the match.

 

[Tin Man]

USA mixed doubles eliminated.

Watching men’s small hill ski jumping, now.

The story about Colby Stevenson is pretty cool.
