geebus christ this slovenia vs russia is brutal. Is Russia all NHL and Slovenia amateur?

Russia is a hockey powerhouse and Slovenia mostly plays chess and has like four people. And yes, Russia is all NHL/KHL players and Slovenia is all amateur.

Whoops. Saw the original posted in this thread and thought it was recent. It was loads of people getting hurt so I thought it had to be from Sochi.

The announcer for the sui vs. can match is giving a history of curling and listing every fact he knows about curling, from famous paintings to etymology to terminology to which nation curled first.

"My own surname is Curling, quite a different etymology, not very grumpy at all. But back to the ice."

It's how I want to die. Being eaten by adorable dogs or cats.

If I had a terminal illness I wouldn't go to like Switzerland to die I would go to sochi and just let the dogs eat me

Why is it that women's half pipe can get gold by doing 900s when that wouldn't even let you qualify in men's? The men are doing stuff like 1440 backflips. In gymnastics the women seem way better at flipping than the men. Why is it different for snow?

Injury update: a track worker has been struck by a bobsled at the Sanki Sliding Center and suffered a broken leg and possibly mild concussion. The worker was hit by a forerunning sled in the braking area near the finish line on the track being used for sliding races at the Games.
Does this kind of thing happen in other Games?

Winter is prime child rearing time, so only husbandless women are available for the winter games. These women have no stability or male strength in their life, and tend to be poor performers in physical sports like the half pipe. It's just biology.

A close friend of mine gave me a talking down this morning for making fun of Sochi. "You can't make fun of what's happening over there without also making fun of the people that are suffering. #Sochiproblems is just showing the world what a bunch of rear end in a top hat elitists Americans are. You should be ashamed", he said to me.

Then he linked me to this terrible article.

To which I replied, "I think dog has gotten into your tarp comrade. Have some wodka and relax."
