Official 2014 Sochi Olympics Thread

[skitheWest.]

Seen a lot of threads about the Olympics lately and figured it would be good to have a thread to keep it all in one place. FOR ALL SPORTS. I don't know about you guys but I couldn't be more stoked!

 

[CaptainObvious.]

You can't just title it with official and think your thread will trample the rest.

 

[*TURBONERD*]

Fuck you yes you can. I STAND WITH SKITHEWEST

 

[CaptainObvious.]

So.....is this your OFFICIAL stance?

 

[timmi]

Is everyone ready for bobsledding to become relevant for a month?

 

[*TURBONERD*]

You're damn right it is .

 

[CaptainObvious.]

What are you doing here then? Make a fucking thread.

 

[will_powder]

[987321654hgfd]

These Olympics are going to be a real blast.

 

[CaptainObvious.]

I'm sure we'll see a lot of young guns explode into the scene.

 

[EARL]

I see the pun, but it's not funny.

 

[Tinga]

bad choice in acronym

 

[Byron_tha_gr8]

things can be inappropriate and offensive and still be funny

 

[mski]

#yolooooooo

 

[.AR6rider.]

I agree. So distasteful. You should ask the mods to taliban him.

 

[skitheWest.]

literally can't wait for Men's Hockey... that is worth the 4 year wait alone

 

[swoger]

I'm most excited to see the Jamaican bobsled team

 

[.Capn.]

Hopefully they don't fuck up the opening ceremony... Looking at you Canada

 

[gyarados]

Funded by Dogecoins

TO THE MOON

 

[MNS]

[Jeebus.]

This thread is rubbish too bad the mods deleted the real thread….

*Dogesled

im interested to see if anyone will say anything about the Jamaicans getting funded by Dogecoin on tv

 

[scratchproteen]

Winter Olympics are my favorite, stay up late and pound some brews and watch some curling.

 

[skitheWest.]

info on the slopestyle course if anyone hasn't seen it already: http://freeskier.com/stories/2014-olympic-slopestyle-course-details-revealed

 

[*TURBONERD*]

I love how much shittier it is than any major comp course this season.

 

[amo]

Henrik's swag is unstoppable. People are gonna see him and just be like wuttt.

 

[amo]

 

[.AR6rider.]

He looks like such a fucking idiot it's almost unbelievable.

 

[CPiks]

probably old news to people but free skier released this article on the athletes perspective on the course:http://freeskier.com/stories/athletes-share-first-perspectives-olympic-slopestyle-course

 

[SFB]

he looks like a rastafarian in a doctors wizard robe.

 

[milk_man]

I think it's kinda stupid how they can't market their brands like they can in the xgames, by showing the camera their skis after their run and things like that.

 

[skitheWest.]

clicky: http://freeskier.com/stories/athletes-share-first-perspectives-olympic-slopestyle-course

 

[skitheWest.]

Horgmo also broke his collarbone in practice yesterday

 

[soulskier]

I'm more excited for curling

 

[theBearJew]

I DONT KNOW IF THIS IS GOING TO BE FIRST OR SECOND BUT THIS IS GOING TO BE A MEDAL!

I hate that commercial.

And does anyone else thing the slopestyle course has an 80s design feel... like the faunt used and everything.

 

[CaptainObvious.]

Why does Russia feel it's necessary to tag their shit as "sochi.ru 2014"

Is there any doubt that Sochi is, in fact, in Russia?

Could you imagine if other Olympics had done that shit? "Beijing.CH 08"

 

[Jeebus.]

Because russia is a desperate attention whore of a country. They just want the rest of the world to stop seeing it for the 3rd world dump that it is.

 

[skitheWest.]

less than 2 days until the opening ceremony. TURN UP

 

[cwphoto]

yeah i've gotten that feel too. i do like the colors and faunt, i think it all goes together well.

 

[JakeAssBeatClap]

hahahah thats awesome.

 

[AT-AT]

Anyone else catch the special "How to raise an Olympian" or something like that. They had Goepper as their opening athlete.

 

[skitheWest.]

this one? http://indianapublicmedia.org/news/indiana-skier-explains-olympic-sport-62551/

 

[SSteezle]

He does it to piss people like you off. And he doesn't give a fuck what you think at all he's busy being awesome

 

[.AR6rider.]

Lol people like me. Do you really think I give a fuck about some deadbeat skier? I was simply making an observation.

 

[milk_man]

Biggest trick I've seen in women's slope is a 540 so far.. The jumps are so massive that a 7 would be easy for them

 

[AT-AT]

Mens figure skating......my favorite........

 

[Olimar]

Can someone post a schedule of the times NBC will be airing the events? Because I know they dont air them at the time they are taking place. Ive been looking for ever for one and the closest I can find is the time that the events are taking place in EST.

It would be much appreciated.

 

[AT-AT]

Snowboard Mens slopestyle on meow.

Those jumps are huge and super spaced out

 

[milk_man]

Haha the commentator said that regular spins are more difficult than off axis spins

 

[GayWolf420]

this russian figure skater dude got chosen over the world champion in a closed-door meeting? if that doesn't reek of corruption, I don't know what does then.
