I watched the American Curling Coed Team play the South Koreans last night.
Had never before grasped the nuance and purpose of the event but now see it as a fusion of the finesse of pool with the deceiving simplicity of shuffleboard.
I was high at the time which may very well be responsible for this epiphany.
South Koreans won by the way.

I miss Eddie the Eagle. Eddie was actually a good downhill skier, and almost qualified for the Olympic team as a skier, but he could not keep up with the expense of training, the reason he went to jumping.

Perseverance and determination kept The Eagle flying. In the two years before the 1988 Olympics, he slept in his mother’s car, ate food from garbage cans, and received little help from his home country who had never qualified for ski jumping at the Olympic level. Edwards even spent a month in a mental hospital – not because he was a patient – but to spend a night in the cheapest room they offered, while training in Finland. He actually found out he qualified for the 1988 Olympics in Calgary one night in the asylum after representing Great Britain in the world championships in 1987.

I tune into The Olympic Network (NBC) and they're televising English Soccer (which, as it turns out, is played the same as regular soccer).
I turn on the TV News, and all I see there are still pics. Still pics, no video. In the Twenty-First Century no video.
What do I gotta do to see the Olympics? Go to the theatre on Sunday and watch a newsreel?

Chaz, install a browser extension called Hola, set it to Canada and watch Olympics via cbc.ca online.

I didn’t know that Marit Bjoergen will be going for her 11th medal at 37! How sick is that?
STOP THE PRESSES!. She got her 11th today with a silver in the 15K to make her the
all-time winter medalist among the women!
Kudos to Jessie Diggins for taking 5th - best ever finish for a USA woman!
