What, no thread on this?

Looks like those smelly Euros are leading the medal count...

I heard one Japanese kid wiped out pretty bad today. Landed right on his pelvis on the lip of a halfpipe and then bounced 22' to the bottom of the pipe and landed on it again. :(

Nah, but I know what it feels like to fall on my tailbone, so I winced watching it.

Apparently the halfpipe was half-baked by half-wits.

I viewed some highlights last night, planetary time differences :rolleyes: :smirk:

Some of those aerial maneuvers defy physics. It must be the latitude/altitude/temperature up there in the northern hemisphere as opposed to 'Down Under' but, I see we won a silver in one event :up:

If you watched the women's snowboarding the night before it made the men's look particularly awesome.

Not sure if its a size or physics thing but the men were jumping 3x as high and doing 1440 spins when it was extremely rares to see a 1080 in the womens.

Did you guys see the Kim Jong Un impersonator walking past the North Korean cheerleaders? They looked absolutely stunned and shocked.

It’s actually a really interesting social experiment. If ya think about it, they’ve probably never been trolled before or even know what trolling is. They’ve never seen anyone poke fun of their supreme leader. I’d love to know what they were thinking...
