KD in CA Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I'll have it on here and there. I still like seeing sports you never watch outside the Olympics; skiing, bobsled, curling, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snafu Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I don't plan to watch. I do like watching curling. It's soothing. I might tune in to the Canadian hockey team to watch our prospects. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Been watching them a bit. Not as into them as usual. Prefer this one to the summer Olympics- hockey, curling, bobsled, luge, ski jump, grand slalom, biathlon, downhill, short track speed skating - sooooo many good events. But the backdrop of having them held in the nation that gave us COVID while politicians are still removing freedoms is off-putting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Darin Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I watched it (as I always do) but it was the most meh Olympics I can remember. The weather (below zero temps and bad wind) really affected the ski events and that was a huge bummer. There's almost no point to playing men's hockey if you're not bringing NHL players. I was pretty happy to see Owen Power not look completely out of place. Oh, and who else was really surprised the Russians were at the center of a doping scandal?

Ann Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Ouch: NBC's China Olympics were a ratings DISASTER "China's blatant disregard of human rights added a repulsive element to this year’s festivities." </snip> According to the Associated Press, through Tuesday, an average of 12.2 million watched the Olympics in primetime on NBC, cable, or its Peacock streaming service, a 42-percent dip from the 2018 Winter Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. "Only 10 million watched NBC alone, a 47-percent drop from 2018, and through early last week, it was down 57 percent in the critical 25-54 age demographic from the Seoul games," Fox News reported, noting the Super Bowl viewership boost NBC got from airing the Olympics right after the network aired the game. </snip> 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slate's insane. No one outside Slate's little self-reinforcing idiot-bubble is saying to themselves "These Olympics are awful, because Uyghur's are in camps!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 The US men's sled hockey team in the Paralympics was unbelievable, winning the gold medal and outscoring their opponents 30-1 during the tournament. Thomas Walsh's story is pretty amazing...and Oksana Masters is incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People don’t watch the Olympics for a variety of reasons, but China’s record on human rights is nowhere on that list. To me the signature event of the Winter games is the men’s downhill. Didn’t see a single run, didn’t hear a single word about it. But I heard plenty about the ‘mixed team Super G combined’ or whatever other new crap they added this year.
