The overhead view of the skiing/snowboarding venue is incredibly funny because it's just brown/green hills and then one spot with a few different snow-covered hills

lol thats the second Joker-themed ice skating performance of this Olympics (and the better executed one)

E: yeah hes in first now, even if likely not for long - his short program was less technically ambitious than others but one of the better executed (and a seasons best for him)

good showing for Azerbajan

in Nagano the artificial snow wasn't sticking right because the temps were well above freezing for some of the skiing events

Figure skating is so good. I think for Milano-Cortina 2026, I'm going to go with a jazz rendition of a favorite classic for my routine.

In an alternate timeline, the only other bidder for 2022, Almaty, would have prevailed. Imagine the discourse on a Winter Olympics in Kazakhstan in today's climate!

mens hockey is starting today, and thus its a great time to see who all is playing for the big countries due to the NHL pulling out late on.

(also its a good time to see how many US/Canadian/Russian players are on China. they did the same thing they ended up doing with their national soccer team, namely just naturalize foreigners who had been on domestic teams to make them at least kind of competitive, but with hockey they even told them oh yeah that rule about handing over a non-Chinese passport? nah, you dont have to do that, just wear this jersey with a Sinicized name and youll be fine, Chris Chelios kid)

This is very different than Canada's sprinting program, somehow, I'm sure, maybe

its a pretty common phenomenon, Persian Gulf countries do it a lot with sprinters. basketball put in a rule to stop it (max, I want to say, 1 or 2 naturalized players per team) which really screws over the Philippines as there are a lot of good Fil-American hoopers but because of nationality laws they have to play as naturalized.
