Re The Warbler's post!
I’d like to see the men’s hockey teams play the women’s - I think it’s sexist to segregate them
If the Warbler can find any friends, who can play hockey, I'd like to see him & them play a Minnesota high school, girls hockey team.

White is a beast. Crazy the altitude these guys get outta the pipe. And all the gyrations they pull in mid air. Sticking the landing seems unlikely. Hirano crushed as well. He's the future, like Choy.

What was the most memorable thing about Shaun White's performance last night was that it seems hip with the current generation that you, at least outwardly, have to have this persona that you don't really care about what happens. It was clear from his post-event emotions that he really(really) did care about what happened. Nice to see his true emotions.

Gud one!
(Reuters) - A group of North Korean cheerleaders were briefly wowed by the apparent, sudden arrival of their leader, Kim Jong Un, at a Winter Olympics ice hockey game on Wednesday.
Some cheerleaders giggled then immediately averted their gaze as the impersonator, who later only identified himself as Howard, smiled and waved to crowds who came to watch a unified Korean team play Japan at the Pyeongchang Games.
"They are playing a good game, they scored one goal. As a president, it's all I can ask for," Howard told Reuters, shortly after plain-clothed officials from South Korea's National Counter-terrorism Centre moved him away from the cheerleaders, who he said had been doing a very good job.

whats up with the announcing during the mens downhill? Its almost making the race boring. Anyone else feel this way?
Edit: changed over to women's hockey.. USA vs Canada
I haven't had a TV for many years. When did the hockey goalie's shin pads get so large?
Edit; The women have gotten way better. Wow.. fun to watch.

I don't know if it's the announcing. Yes, Bodie Miller is more about the technical aspects than a cheerleader for the racers. Time trial events are difficult in that the winner might have been the 3rd skier down and then everything else is just a anticlimactic.
Ski racing is trying to experiment with a two-race downhill format much like they use in slalom and giant slalom where the fastest skiers in run one go in reverse order. You don't know the winner until the last skier has finished their second run.

I think it was that there was too much background information while the racer was actually on course. Instead of focusing on the race happening right then. Plus the racers were taking off right as the previous racer was finishing, so there was no build up. I want the background between racers, then concentrate on the race as it is happening. but with no time between racers and it being shown live with no time delay, the announcers can't do that.
I'm not sure what the solution is, but two races would help with the build up and the drama.
But wow.. they sure do fly.
