Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
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.

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 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.
^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...
4-2 Canada! Captain Poulin scores on a penalty shot!

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
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...
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.
