NBC sure does show a lot of cross-country on their midday coverage. It is possibly the worst-ever sport for TV.

Watching Swedes, Finns, and Czechs (wtf?) kick Norwegian rear end is pretty great, though

Lost the 1500m gold by 0.003 seconds and it took the computer a few moments to calculate, during which time it showed him as first.

Pretty sure it showed him as tied with the Polish skater while they checked the photo finish.

There was an earlier event that a Dutch skater (not the same guy) was shown as first before they adjusted his time, though.

There were also no dogs in the video (but some blurred doggy style).

yeah their coverage of miller was really intrusive and stupid. like they had him and his wife all mic'd up and it was creepy when they'd have them talking to each other almost as if it was scripted. then they straight up went to him after the event was over and were like "ARENT YOU SAD YOUR BROTHER IS DEAD??? HOW SAD DOES THAT MAKE YOU???" until he started crying. loving nbc

i dunno some of the coverage of the super g was okay. i liked how they used video overlay to compare the skiers at different points of the course. helped to put into perspective how each of them reacted. otherwise the coverage was stupid

Pretty much. Still tons of loving, but extensive use of sex-tarps and men looking over their shoulders making sure a stray dog doesn't try and lick their swaying nutsacks.

Finished watching some of the Icedance and three things really caught my attention.

1. Madison Chock was a dead ringer for Zhang Ziyi in all that makeup.
2. The US has a "Blades of glory" Brother sister team.
3. The judges really need to be kicked in the rear end.

Why are they no longer removing the top and bottom scores from the judging panels anymore? They made the process more technical, but never bothered to take out the element that was causing the trouble in the first place. Anyone else think Canada got robbed today? (yes, I know we are always the whiniest team at the winter olympics).
