same!!

the bbc commentary of the hockey is PAINFUL though. it takes nothing to do some research before actually starting: he just said there’s been no nhl players in the olympics since 1998 (so how does sidney crosby have a gold medal then) 🤦🏼‍♀️
What pisses me off with the TNT commentary of the skiing is that appalling pronunciations! They do it all through the World Cup, but the Olympics App has got all the athletes from all the different events saying their own names and giving a slow pronunciation! He also pronounces Francesca Marsaglia appallingly and he used to ski against the brother of the presenter he's referring to!
 
Sad for Brendan, I really thought he had it.
And that crash out was awful, how he walked away from that, I don’t know. My back hurt just watching 😳

that’s shocking! like you say, they literally couldn’t help us out more - you can listen to every single athlete say their name!

when the usa were playing their first game the bbc commentators said “two hughes on the ice, they’re not related though” - they are literally brothers 🤣🫣

Do Tim and Ed actually know what they are talking about or are the judges on a different planet - they don't ever seem to agree :ROFLMAO:

aw man that’s a horrible crashout in the half pipe 😦

edit: how is he walking away unaided after that?!?

“i regret nnnnoootthhinng” is hysterical 🤣
Adrenaline.

I don’t blame him for wanting to walk away but I do think that there should be medical staff who insist they don't until they've been properly assessed and the adrenaline has dropped.

I also think medical staff should be able to rule them out of continuing if needed but a lot of them seem to start initially with injuries or carry on with them. Surely they are just putting themselves and possibly others at risk of worse injury
 
the sportsmanship in the women’s figure skating final has me borderline crying each time videos pop up on my tiktok

It seems to have been all about what the Judges are looking for in this particular competition, which seems to be different from what the skiers/boarders thought they wanted!

The BBC does that with every sports event they show. Wimbledon is a joke. You can't record anything if you go out, because all of a sudden it's jumped from one channel to another and back again. They should have 'spare' channels that they activate for Wimbledon, the Olympics etc and keep the events on there. Why start something on BBC1 if you're going to turf it to BBC2 a short while later?

And then say it’s on iplayer and then flick back to bbc2 and then back to iplayer - very hard to keep up as a viewer!

Apparently the bbc switching is because regional news has to be on bbc one. I think of it as my exercise break 😂


Gutted we might get a medal in the half pipe as well as curling tonight and I’m out 😩😩😂

it’s impossible! not to mention they treat it like football and seem to think it’s all over after two periods 🤣 i’ll be so angry if they move the game tomorrow all over the place, i’ve been waiting ages to be able to watch a “proper” usa canada match-up 🥲

trying to find canadian commentary as i don’t think i can cope with the british guy they have on the bbc who apparently has never watched hockey in his life.
 
Nasty crash on the four man bobsleigh. The Austrian team toppled over and carried on down the track sideways at speed. You could see the pilot’s head getting knocked about on the ice. Stretched off after a long time being stabilised on the ice.

If you have a VPN you can watch CBC Gem, which is the streaming arm of the CBC.

Saros was amazing in goal. On one shot the puck ran up his stick and didn't go in, wow. Canada has to kick U.S. a and hopefully Sid can play. They are letting the bars serve booze in the morning for the game on Sunday. If they lose there will be several people calling in sick on Monday.

thank you! i will investigate!

i really hope sid can 🥲 it just doesn’t feel right them being out there without him and you can tell how desperately they all want him back. tomorrow i am canadian as i intensely dislike most of the us team (not the hughes bros) - i so hope they do it 🤞🏻

Ski mountaineering mixed relay has longer distance, I wonder why it wasn't like that for individual competitions

I’ve just tuned in and I’m confused as to why the athletes, having taken the skins off their skis and completed the downhill section of the course, have to put a new set of skins ON their skis just so that they can ski a short distance and handover to their teammate? I’ve never seen an event with so many faffy transitions!
