Also, WTF with the women's slopestyle comp last night. The wind was nuts. There's no way they should have been on that course. In most pro comps, the competitors are consulted beforehand, but officials didn't bother here. Given that the course is only in use for two days of the entire Olympics, and we're still in the early days, it's awful that they didn't postpone this. Those women were getting thrown around out there and it made the course super dangerous and inconsistent for all.

Still - congrats to Jamie Anderson (USA), Laurie Blouin (Canada), and Enni Rukajaarvi (Finland) for surviving the day to get the medals. Laurie Blouin suffered a horrible fall in training last week where she had to be stretchered off to the hospital and still had a black eye - getting silver is awesome.



But yeah - they should have postponed the event for sure, so everyone had a decent shot at giving it their best.




totally should have postponed - what were they thinking? the girls had to 'dumb down' their jumps just so they could finish the course. really disappointed by that. that said, congrats to Jamie, Laurie, and Enni, and everyone who competed. super love.

and on that, all hail Chloe Kim who, with the gold already won, went ahead and did a final run anyway and nailed a 98.25. the girl is fierce. i had chills just watching her. China's Jiayu Liu gave it her best, but no one could touch her. USA's Arielle Gold gave a strong performance to take silver. Sadly, another fav of mine, Maddie Maestro had an off day. She'll be back, tho, in 4 more years. And Kelly Clark took 4th, not bad considering how long she's been competing. A strong performance all around.

waiting for men's pipe now. Shaun White's swansong

I have not much interest in it, but it's hard to miss here in the Netherlands. Particularly the long track speed skating of course.

An no Katie Couric, skating is not an "important mode of transportation" over here


You mean you don't just freeze the canals and then skate everywhere??

It's not just you. I'd rate them toward the bottom of all the Olympic medals. If you research them, as I just did, there have been some ugly designs and some great ones.

Personally, I like a classic design better for anything like medals or trophies. The 2004 Athens Summer Olympics had great looking medals, with the back side having a design that looked like ancient Greece. I also liked that the Athens Olympics placed the laurel wreath on the gold medal winners head.

Canada 2 USA 1

Probably the best rivalry in Olympic sports.

Canadian women kick ass at everything.

Hell, we do that in our national capital. Ottawa turns the Rideau Canal into a giant skating rink in January and February (weather willing, which it isn't always). And, yes, some people do skate to work on it. My son lives there for university and has been out on the canal a few times.

As for the Olympics, stayed up late to watch the pairs figure skating free skate (I'm a big fan of figure skating even though I can't skate worth beans). That was a stunner. The Germans, Aljona Savchenko and Bruno Massot, turned in a record high score for a pairs free skate, landing Savchenko her first Olympic gold (after bronzes with a different partner in the last two games). She pretty much broke down when it became clear they had won (the Chinese actually came close to unseating them).

From a Canadian standpoint, it marked the final Olympic appearance for our pairs champs Duhamel and Radford and they nailed the bronze . They are retiring after this season.

Men's starts tonight, with longtime Canadian champ Patrick Chan also skating his final Olympics. He was very uneven in the team, even though he ended up in first in men's in that event, so I'm not that hopeful unless he's really clean up his act since the weekend.

Retirements is the theme for Canada in figure skating this year. Our ice dance duo of Virtue and Moir (who grew up in my city) are also in their final Olympics. Come Beijing, Canada will pretty much have a whole new figure skating team.

Hockey last night was awesome! The American girls are tough, but Canadians will find a way to edge them every time. *winks @ Sprite*

I was so happy to see Duhamel and Radford get their bronze medal in pairs skating last night. The Germans were easily the best in class - I think the quality of their skating is untouchable in this Olympic group.


Also - congrats to Canada's Ted-Jan Bloemen for winning GOLD and setting a world record in the 10,000m speed skating!
And that's after his silver in the 5,000m a few days ago!



And yeah, ok, fine, he was born in the Netherlands (of course!), but moved to Canada 4 years ago to skate for Canada because he was frustrated by the lack of support from the Dutch program and received Canadian citizenship through his father, who was born in New Brunswick. He's all about the red and white now! smile

Nah, we (well, those of us that are into flags and the protocols that go with them) prefer a modular approach, with an extension banner ;)





Did a quick search: the banner should only be added on the birthdays of members of the royal family - the narrow interpretation of family. Makes sense as it's originally a reference to their family name, though the people adopted it as the national color. Didn't want to get mixed up with the French, Russians or Americans of course ;)

Snowboard X just kicks you in the balls/vag don’t it?

To dominate your sport so completely, but never attain that Olympic greatness due to one episode of premature showboating that’s snake bit every Olympic since.

Can’t imagine what Lindsey Jacobellis is thinking.

Nah, that looks terrible. That orange extension looks like my dick after I mistook my Jergens lotion with self-tanner.

Flags should be about individuality and recognizability. Red, white and blue...three horizonal stripes? What? Were three vertical stripes taken? Oh...wait. It was.

Here are the flags of France, Luxembourg, Russia and the Netherlands:









Do the majority of the world's populace know which is which?

Maybe this one... I believe this was the original flag anyways.



Anyways, enough of the Vexillological discussion.

How about the US losing to Slovenia in Hockey? WTF?

I like the snowboard races the best. Those are cool as hell.

And seriously, I don't even know the rules to hockey but it does look much more entertaining than soccer. I've been to just a few minor league hockey games. I never figured out what was going on, but fucking loved the fights. Seven serious brawls broke out in just one game once. Loved the fact that each time a player was ejected, and a lot were, they cursed and gave the finger to the referees and the crowd. So, it was worth seeing.

I think they should have ice skate jousting.

Yeah, people always think Canadians are so "nice"... until they watch a hockey game.

The Prince's Flag, as it is called, is now associated with right wing white nationalism/fascism (the NSB used it during WWII). It's actually the French who instated the current red-white-blue flag around 1795, so I'm sure individualism was not the most important thought on their mind. And for a long time people didn't really care about the flag, unless it's in a sports context.

Well, that's not good. Why is it that the fascists always capitalize all the really good flags and color schemes....?

How about this one:



or this one:



You have to have orange in there. You can't just have the same old boring European tricolor. You fought an 80 year war against a Catholic religious foreign power to establish a republic based on religious toleration and pursuit of capitalism....a hundred and fifty years before the United States claimed to have "invented democracy."

Let's ignore the fact that the US just "borrowed" their flag from the British East India Company.



From a marketing perspective, I would say "You need to have a better flag."

But after a bit of thought and seeing how some Americans see their flag as being somehow more important than the people in their country.... I can see your point.

Although I really do like the colour orange....

It would be hard to dispute that the Dutch like the color orange, just not in our flag for now. I guess we just like the fact that we have a flag and an entirely unrelated color for dressing up and everything else. It's our version of being unique and recognizable perhaps ;)

I never, ever wear orange. I won't even wear orange hunting vests. I'll wear some other obnoxious color hunting vest instead.

How about ice skate boxing? That'd be entertaining.

Virtue and Moir were lights out perfection last night. I was really thrilled to see them skate that program so well!

But there was a serious wardrobe malfunction in the short dance for the French team, (currently in second, heading into the freedance). The back of her top snapped early on, and provided much distraction.

Yes, ice dance is definitely the sexiest sport in the Olympics.

Meh, a nip slip. I'm sure she'll check her costume thoroughly tonight. They had a great skate and are close enough to make Scott & Tessa work for it so I'm expecting a spectacular end to the free dance tonight. And our other Canadian duos sit at 8 and 9 so probably out of the medals, but we seem to have some potential even after Virtue and Moir retire.

BTW, not sure how well know this is outside Canada, but tonight's free dance marks Virtue and Moir's final performance in competition. After 20 years and a raft of awards, they are calling it a day after Pyeongchang.
