kumquatq3 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 The US curling team upsets Norway to chants of "U.S.A.!" also, I'm sure that someone in Norway will point out that they are leading in the total medal count. Yes, yes you are. If you count bronze medals. " I mean hell, Latvia can get a bronze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowstrider Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I only care about the US ladies curling team, because the Johnson sisters are kinda hot. I'd never seen 'em before this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baley Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Lars Bystoel produced a second-round jump of 103.5 metres on the normal hill in Pragelato on Sunday to earn Norway's first gold in Turin. Bystoel - sixth after the first round - finished a point ahead of Finland's Matti Hautamaeki on 266.5 points, while compatriot Roar Ljoekelsoey took bronze.

kumquatq3 Posted February 13, 2006 Author Share Posted February 13, 2006 (edited) But Ski Jumping is number one. All others are number two, or lower! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That may be, but that guy needs to sell his medal to get some dental work. EDIT: and whats with the hole in the medal? Come on Italy, there are better ways to save a few bucks. Edited February 13, 2006 by kumquatq3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveThaiBinh Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 The US team lost its second match to Finland, 3-4. GB, on the other hand, won both of its opening matches.

SteveThaiBinh Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Sorry. I remember a summer Olympics a while ago when I heard that US TV was showing the whole thing as though it were live, but delayed several hours to get peaktime viewing. Is that what's happening? If so, we might need to hold off talking about results until a while after they happen. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now."

Arclam Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 (edited) Yeah. That is what is happening. They save the most popular (alpine skiing, speed & figure skating, anyting the U.S medals in) stuff for primetime. And everything else (curling, hockey, cross-country skiing, and what they can't show of the others) on the cable networks on a 6-14 hour time delay. The earliest I get coverage here is 6 in the morning. An 8 hour difference from Italy. Of course the local news has medal results before they show them on air. "Change the channel if you don't want to be spoiled. But remember to return in 60 seconds." Bah. Hell, I don't even think much of the Salt Lake stuff was live, and I am in the same time zone. Damn television corporations. Edited February 14, 2006 by Arclam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deraldin Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 CBC has stuff going on almost round the clock. They show stuff live in the mornings and then show it again later in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, we might need to hold off talking about results until a while after they happen. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I remember my father won two hundred bucks off me during the Nagano Olympics for just that very reason. He bet me that someone would win gold in, I think, women's downhill. I didn't realize that there was a considerable tape delay, and he'd heard the results somewhere hours earlier, and foolishly made the bet. Learned my lesson about televised sporting events then and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
