But seriously, it starts this weekend (opening ceremonies start in just over 35 minutes @ 6:30 EST).
Time to find out who's got the best country, and why it's fun watching people fight for imaginary lines on a map.

Don't worry, I'll port over the comment I would have made in your thread to here:
@Cello, I love all of this.
How dare you

I DARE!!!!
I didn't actually get to watch much yesterday because my gf got bored of it pretty quickly. I have Saturday and Sunday off on my own so hopefully I can enjoy the beautiful sport of curling then.

now it's a competition
Unlike the Summer Olympics last year, they are making everything available for paid Peacock and it’s all usable from there.
The 5 cooling towers directly behind the Big Air structure are a weird look, feels like they're jumping on the grounds of a giant nuclear plant.

Also I saw her fall down so how great can she be. Granted that is on the trick no other woman does in Olympic competition, but still.
My GF and I were making fun of the fact that the veterans they were referring to on the US pairs skaters were 32 and 29

better than 99.99999999999% of everyone
So barely anybody?

Figure skating, like a lot of Olympic competitions, is a young people’s sport (for the good or ill that causes), she’s got maybe a few more years of improvement and then it’s starting to head downhill. Like as far as a skating career goes, she’s just about at the peak of hers. She’ll probably still be firing well for the next Winter Olympics but hitting three would be impressive, and after that if she’s still going at 27 she will probably have to fight real hard for an Olympic medal, still going at 31 for singles competitions is really unexpected.
Now back to ignoring the rest of the games!

Ahhh, such scenic vistas

You should've seen the women's downhill the other day. The alpine skiing events exist on a spectrum that ranges from "courageous/stupidly fast" to "extremely technical turns while skiing down a hill": downhill, super G, giant slalom, and slalom.
On the first day of downhill events there were a lot of crashes, and one American skier wound up in the hospital with a broken leg that required surgery.

I mean I sort of love how nerdy and edge case the WOs are, with all the thousands of a second deciders, but still
I hate watching the judging of figure skating. "Oh, look, the person who was favored to win going into this won by a landslide, even though they fell down."

Yeah I’d play a massive warhammer game on that
Yeah, that was a tough back half of the 2nd period. The US going up 2 to 1 and then 25 seconds later Canada ties and quickly scores 2 more to go up 2.

Hey so the story behind this is actually kind of cool?
Unrelated to the steel mill setting (which I think is rad tbh), there's a lot worth calling into question these days to do with China's politics and to do with the Olympics in general but wow howdy in the last five days I have seen. So goddamn many shitty ignorant jokes that are based on stereotypes about China/Chinese culture.

I agree the rather common racist jokes have live again
The cooling tower with the Olympics logo behind everybody during their trick looked very cool.

staff in heavy protective gear, frequent cleaning, feels like a dystopia am i right???
the dystopia is that you're being served by staff at all during a pandemic dude, not that they're wearing hazmats
We’ve been in a full on cyberpunk dystopia for like a decade at minimum. Everyone’s just leaning into it now.
