We've already lit our Olympic torches.



Usually the Olympics is over-saturated here but I think they're taking the boycott seriously. There are no ads for it. You usually see billboards, bus signs, and cardboard standups at grocery stores reminding you of your patriotic duty to buy Cool Ranch Doritos and watch every event while drinking Bud Light.

I didn't even know the Olympics had started before I saw this thread talking about it. I guess people officially don't give a shit this year.
They're also competing against the hype of Superbowl which, is somehow more "meh" than last year.

2022 Winter Olympics Thread
 

Go Canada go! Our men win the gold and bronze in the men’s slope style event for snowboarding.

Max Parrot wins gold and Mark McMorris wins the bronze medal.

I watched the qualifying round and snowboard finals. Max and Mark did great in their jumps.

The kid Su YiMing of China also did great. The 17 year old won the silver medal. The kid can really spin with his backside 1800s and frontside jumps.

The russian womans hockey team refused to release their covid test results so canada refused to play, then they wore fucking masks to play the game after an hour delay? lol fuck..

wonder what happens if some canadian athletes get covid now

Wait, the winter Olympics are on? Lol, seriously I had no idea.

They get tossed in isolation which I heard is horrible with even worse food.

The incredible thing about Max winning gold is he had cancer 3 years ago. Beat that being cancer free and wins the gold. Talk about a perfect made for TV movie right here!!

McMorris too with the bronze, he had a snowboarding accident just 11 months ago that left him with a fractured jaw, ruptured spleen, internal bleeding, multiple broken bones and a collapsed lung.

*Trump voice* Chynaaaa

and yes it’s real lol

^I saw that and looked it up to see what it is. It's a former steel mill, closed before the 2008 olympics. They repurposed it to create an outdoor sports venue apparently...

:lol:lol:lol

What a fucking joke. Been skipping these entire Olympics.

Don't bring this shit here in 2030.

That Beijing 2022 logo painted on the silo is a nice touch, very tasteful. 4Head

if only they made it so you could slide off one of the silos for extra points

They in the back and couldn't hear anything over the money counters going.

Team Canada women vs Team USA tonight. The hockey rivalry continues.

The American women's team is definitely better...

Of course, the second I say the American team is better, Canada scores 3 unanswered lol. But I stand by what I said. The American team is dominating 5on5 play. Passes are crisper, puck support is better, the puck moves the ice up much cleaner, offensive zone time is definitely favours team USA, etc..
Hopefully we win gold though :)

These Olympics are a fucking joke. China isn't even being subtle in their bullshit anymore.

The lunacy of hosting it in China at this point in time aside, they're defiling the sports in their ridiculous race to 'save face.'

Literally:

Canada and the USA has outscored the entire tournament for womens hockey.

I'm really hoping Japan wins later against the Czechs, they avoid US/Canada in the playoffs. Don't sleep on Nana Fujimoto the goalie.

Canada is getting the winner of Sweden and Denmark later.
USA is getting the Loser between Japan/Czech
Russia plays winner of Japan/Czech
The swiss and the finns play each other in the playoffs

SO CHINESE... somehow doesn't have to relinquish her US passport like everyone else does at 18 because China doesn't allow dual citizenship to anyone that isn't winning medals for them I guess... lived her entire life in USA and going to Stanford next year...

Fuckin BS nationalism...............

same for that female figure skater Zhu Yi. She was born in US and gave up her US citizenship to represent China. She took the spot away from a legit China born skater. She fell in each of her programs, and now is in last place. Now all the people in China are ripping on her lol. I guess Karma is a bitch. I dont understand where is the integrity of these athletes. Its one thing to play in China or work in China, but to represent China when you are a citizen of another country is outright shameful and a disgrace.

she cute
