My criticism is of the CCP and how they treat their people and how the potatus and non representatives use our money to sell us out. Not disagreeing!

Reacher Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 I haven't watched any yet. Don't know if I will. Usually its the wife that wants to watch some. Apparently I'm not alone as ratings are way down this year and NBC is going to lose a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually its the wife that wants to watch some. Apparently I'm not alone as ratings are way down this year and NBC is going to lose a ton. My wife and I were talking last night as we were watching. Asked the kids (both teenagers) if they wanted to watch. You would have thought we were asking them to donate a kidney. When I was growing up, watching the Olympics was something we did as a family. Especially, the Winter Games, since it was usually too cold to do anything outdoors. I'll admit, I didn't find time this year to sit down and watch until last night. But, they sucked me in real quick. Stayed up until after 1:00 AM watching. And, the best thing about this year's game, is what you see in Prime Time is live. It's happening tomorrow in China, but it's live on our TV sets. I found a site that was posting live scoring and it was about 20-30 seconds ahead of what I was seeing on TV.

Reacher Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 I remember watching as a kid as well. This year I think timing was a factor. I was on a trip to FL when they began and since then have been rather busy. Sun was the first day I had some time and was going to turn it on but noticed it was 10 minutes before the evening news break so I didn't bother.

Drroogh Posted February 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 Timing? I got my hand slapped (verbally) because I was a spoiler! I messaged last night my girl in Russia congratulations for how well the ROC had done. Damn time changes?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drroogh Posted February 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) Watching short track skating, in spite of the fact that I have worked many years with people from China I respect. I’ll leave it at that! Feels like watching Big officiant! Edited February 8, 2022 by Drroogh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drroogh Posted February 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 Believe me I was never close! But I still remember learning to duck gates, something I still find myself practicing 40 years later! Practicing to duck behind corners because those bamboo poles hurt like hell! Now they learn to punch the breakaway poles! The times have changed!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 Exciting and emotional win for the USA in Mixed Snowboardcross. Nick Baumgartner, at age 40, teamed with Lindsey Jacobellis to win his first ever Olympic medal. And, it was Gold. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drroogh Posted February 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 So, I was talking with my Russian friend today about the Olympics, and she told me the story of Vic Wild who recently won Bronze! An American who married a Russian girl (now divorced) Vic Wild now competing for ROC. Pretty amazing story, seeing as he competes for ROC it’s no surprise I never heard of him before. We are just so consumed with ourselves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty crazy to give a figure skater performance enhancing drugs. Do they disclose what drug was found? Maybe something for focus? I'd love to hear your thoughts privately. I don't understand the desire but I'm also not a billionaire ultra ego maniac politician that wants to control people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FKIM01 Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 Been seeing this ad throughout the olympics and I really like it...think it's really well done with some great messaging. We use Salesforce daily, which doesn't hurt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
