Vancouver Olympics!!!

Post by victorian.noire »

generally not a sports watcher, but as they are having the games right across the water from me, thought i would give them a view. Anyone else on here watching them? Favorite event?

I don't watch sports much either, but I do like some of the skiing and the bobsled. I think they need to add women to the ski jumping, it seems a bit archaic that they aren't included.

they tried to add women to ski jumping but, according to the International Olympics Council, the women’s ski jump “does not reach the necessary technical criteria and as such does not yet warrant a place alongside other Olympic events.” so yeah you are right on that one...pretty archaic indeed

Im trying to watch it but the time difference means alot of the stuff is on about midnight. I normally quite like the bobsleigh and ice dancing.

Well, as for me, I'm not so sportive, but like watching games especially when I see my country shows good results
