Winter Olympics 2022

Elizabeth Swaney. It’s on YT lololol.

 

Yeah baby...

 

"Fuckinall" (don't know how it's spelled, only the pronunciation) is Hungarian for "ladle."

 

I’m a big alpine skiing fan, especially of the downhill. Those guys and gals are serious and get my vote for bravest sport. Until you’ve been out there hammering on a big downhill you wouldn’t believe how far over the edge that sport is. Many years ago I free skied on the downhill course on Aspen Mountain the morning after a World Cup downhill race, with some of the snow fence still up, and the course still frozen in like ice pavement. Like most of that mountain it was extremely steep, and the course stayed on or nearly on the fall line the entire way down. I skied onto the course at the top and turned ‘em down the hill thinking I’d like to experience some of that speed. Pfft. It didn’t take very long before I had enough and started turning out of the fall line. I have raced some local downhill in the winter, and when motorcycle season starts I’ve motocrossed, desert raced, flat tracked, and road raced. Nothing I’ve ever done compared to what the downhill guys are doing, believe me. Those folks are serious hard cases.

 

Thanks for the perspective!

I love downhill skiing and the way they lean is similar to road racing.

However, the insane part comes in when they are hitting 70+ mph after clearing an 8 ft. jump on ice!!

 

The hill for I think it’s Super G is no joke. I think half the women’s field has wrecked.

 

Hell, Lane Meyer can handle that hill on one ski. Just sayin’…

 

Mikaela Schiffrin and Nina O’Brien are both out of the GS, Nina with a serious leg injury. Not good.

Yeah Nina’s crash was yikes to watch, the commentators gasped.

Separately, mayhem on ski jumping mixed doubles suit violations. I have a theory! @HPPT please post link, I don’t know how to do that yet, ha!

OK that was ugly, but it works!

Oooh, better!

 

Hope you recorded or dial up team mixed relay… zoo! Thunderdome!

 

Yes, short track.

 

She's Russian, probably not enough PED's for her.

 

Anybody else watch last nights ski jumps with a fucking power plant cooling tower right next to the ramp ?

Wife and I laughed our asses off last night.
