A reminder for all you curling fans that ice is still slippery.

He managed to not touch any stones...impressive.

Equally impressive is that he didn't hurt his stones.

She's probably got a resting heart rate down around 30. As we salute her skill and fortitude, let's not forget the immortal words of that pillock of racist twaddle, Bryant Gumbel:

“Finally tonight, the Winter Games." "Count me among those who don’t like them and won’t watch them. In fact, I figure when Thomas Paine said, ‘These are the times that try men’s souls,’ he must have been talking about the start of another Winter Olympics. Because they’re so trying, maybe over the next three weeks we should all try, too. Like, try not to be incredulous when someone attempts to link these games to those of the ancient Greeks who never heard of skating or skiing. So try not to laugh when someone says these are the world’s greatest athletes, despite a paucity of blacks that makes the Winter Games look like a GOP convention.”

Bryant doesn't need to take a second run to make it to the "a*shole" podium. He's a lock.

And to get away from this, here's Tore VIKINGSTAD's hat trick from 2010: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNik-VIgg2Y

Germany not looking very good so far in this ice shuffleboard match. US could be looking at a pretty nice 3rd end here.

Re: Sochi Olympics Results thread - SPOILERS

Unusual turn of events there. US (Zezel) called for a double touch on his throw, eliminating his rock. However, the official (who was a good ways away) didn't call it until well after the shot finished up. GER stone goes back to guard spot. Shuster not pleased at all.

Re: Sochi Olympics Results thread - SPOILERS

The United States actually won a curling match. I'm in shock.

Re: Sochi Olympics Results thread - SPOILERS

Looked like things could get interesting in the final end after that, but Shuster throws a nice double on his first stone and GER concedes. 8-5 USA.

These hockey officials are terrible.

Interesting. CZE-LAT hockey game: Latvia scores an even strength goal, but was initially waved off. Doesn't get reviewed until whistle which was caused by a Czech penalty. Review shows a good goal, however the referee keeps the Czech player in the penalty box, despite the penalty occurring a good bit of time after the goal.

But the women lose 9 - 2 in eight ends.

Re: Sochi Olympics Results thread - SPOILERS

Just caught the last few of SWE - SUI game online. Swiss almost tied it in the final seconds, but lose 1-0.

Play by play by a Brit, the final was 1-nil. Guess NBC didn't know I was available.

Saw that happen at the Final Five once too. I think the rule works like that so players don't get away with dangerous plays just because a goal wasn't called at the time.
