NBC :argh:

Can't you just go to a sport's page and click the "Replay" button in the schedule? (It's right under the date.) That's always worked for me thus far.

It's too hot to properly compete because the track's melting, it's cool because the higher-ups took a lot of bribes to say it'd be fine, and the resulting entertainment is yours.

Now if this was NBC, after showing her dancing they wouldn't have zoomed in on Hot. Instead they'd do a 5 minute sob story about how the cousin of the guy in the jacket just died of cancer.

During the men's skiing half-pipe, the announcer started some sob story about the competitor's cancerous retard brother and how much they need a medal or whatever. The competitor fell almost immediately out of the gate and was instantly eliminated. The announcer pauses for a second and goes 'well, anyway, to continue the story, his brother...'

You can except when stuff like this happens.



The men's aerials event was finished on Monday and the other two were done yesterday.
Also the men's snowboard cross isn't even listed on the snowboarding page (it was also on Monday).

It was some sort of puppeteer routine, and then by the end SHE WAS THE PUPPET. But they did have to hold that position for awhile before the music started.

Sochi is a gift that keeps on giving.

Pussy Riot members attacked by Cossacks with whips



EDIT:

Better story at The Washington Post, which has video (video was originally posted by RT, who took it down, but The Telegraph already rehosted it).

quote:

SOCHI, Russia — Cossack militia attacked the Pussy Riot punk group with horsewhips on Wednesday as the group tried to perform under a sign advertising the Sochi Olympics.

Six group members — five women and one man — donned their signature ski masks and were pulling out a guitar and microphone as at least 10 Cossacks and other security officials moved in. One Cossack appeared to use pepper spray, another whipped several group members while others ripped off their masks and threw the guitar in a garbage can.

Police arrived and questioned witnesses, but no one was arrested.

The Cossacks violently pulled masks from women’s heads, beating group member Nadezhda Tolokonnikova with a whip as she lay on the ground.

The incident lasted less than three minutes and one Pussy Riot member, a man wearing a bright yellow tank top, was left with blood on his face, saying he had been pushed to the ground.

Pussy Riot, a performance-art collective involving a loose membership of feminists who edit their actions into music videos, has become an international flashpoint for those who contend Putin’s government has exceeded its authority, particularly restricting human and gay rights...

I just don't know what the point of wearing a balaclava is if you put it on when the cameras are already rolling. Kind of half-hearted act from both the Pussy Riot and the police, 32.65 points. Or is Olympic a non-subjective sport?

Or are they complaining the the Finns cheated by acting in accordance to the rules like they did after losing to the USA?

They're not running around killing people or anything anymore (at least I don't think they are), but they are still a minority ethnic group in Russia.

espn article posted:

The failure of the KHL and NHL players on the roster to blend into a cohesive team was clear and apparent. There were rumors in the past few days of tension in the Russian camp, and at the heart of it was the KHL-NHL issue. Why in the world was Alexander Popov playing on the top line with Ovechkin and Malkin the past two games? Why was KHL defenseman Evgeni Medvedev among the leaders in ice time on the team, playing more than NHLers such as Fedor Tyutin and Alexei Emelin?

Why? Because the KHL and Russian hockey hoped to use the world's biggest hockey games as a propaganda tool for the Russian professional league that vies to rival the NHL. Well, that was a complete and utter disaster.
