jwhouk:
So - who's looking forward to the Winter Olympics coming up starting this weekend?

(Oh, and so not to send pwhodges or any mods into a tizzy: "Сочи" is the Cyrillic translation of "Sochi", the region where the games are being played.)

There's already a couple of storylines: The threats of terrorism, the hit-and-miss nature of the accommodations of the athletes and media, and Shaun White pulling out of one of the events. 

Blue Kitty:
And don't forget about the stray dogs


I am for one am ambivalent about the Winter Olympics, they seem like the younger brother of the much better Summer Olympics

GarandMarine:
I'm a big fan of the modern pentathlon because it's one of the few remaining events that go back to what the games are really about. Displaying military prowess.

I am however not watching or caring this year. Much like I did the last summer olympics (shit I didn't even notice those had happened!)

jwhouk:
So I take it you're not a fan of curling, then?

Heaving big rocks down the ice while three others sweep in front of it to try and play a big game of shuffleboard... Yeah.

GarandMarine:
Curling's better then fucking PING PONG of all things.

The IOC lost all credibility with me when they tried to drop wrestling.
