Anyone watching? I enjoy winter more than the summer olympics. Glad to see NBC finally got into the modern age with streaming coverage. I signed up for peacock and can watch everything, no extra packages to purchase. Now I can ignore all the tv coverage. I like the drone camera that is following the competitors down the course. Avoiding results is the hard part with the time difference.

Womens downhill results
Lindsey Vonn tried to compete with a torn acl. Crashed hard 13 seconds into the course. It was hard to watch. The crowd went silent and you can hear her screaming in pain.

American Breezy Johnson gets the gold. She was the 6th skier in the event. In downhill you only get one run. She goes into first and then has to wait for 30 other skiers to go down and hope they don't pass her.


It's supposed to be hard! If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great!

With Lindsey Vonn crashing this morning other than hockey there's not a lot left for me in terms of interest in these games.


Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Should be a great hockey tournament! On the women’s side they might as well set up US/CAN

The men’s will be much more interesting…

US/SWE is my gold game bet but CAN could beat SWE

I like the skiing, especially the downhill and slalom events. I was a skier when
I was a teenager, so I can get into it.

Don’t call me gay, there’s nothing wrong with it, btw, 😀 but I love watching the figure skating pairs.

When you see a world class skater do a performance, live, as I did a few years ago with Katelyn Osmond, the power and precision is a surprise the first time you see it.

Like, they jump higher than it looks on TV. It’s pretty incredible to watch in person.
