Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic Thread

Another gold (and bronze) for Holland.

Double luge is on at the mo, going to finish work early because it looks hilarious.

[Draevyn]

Men's hockey has begun and Sweden are handling the Czechs nicely. I can't stand Jagr which really has me hating on the Czechs.

It is hilarious, but completely unintentionally. The fact that the BBC elected to show a preview of the event to the tune of 'Just the Two of Us' didn't exactly help matters

TORAH!

If only she had done that final run as well as in qualifying, just .25 away from another gold! Great effort and now Australia's equal best performer ever at the Winter Olympics.

I am pretty sure the hockey organist for the USA vs Slovakia game just played "Personal Jesus" which is what the Slovakian's would need to turn this game around -- and that might not even work. I mean, they already have a Zdeno Chara.

[Hornswoggle4PM]

Seriously, the music selection in that game was awesome from what I heard, wouldn't at all be surprised if Personal Jesus was in there. I'm not a real ice hockey fan but even I know 7-1 before the end of the 2nd period is a thrashing.

Still in the top 3 of medals? Holland rocks!

Most Dutch medals ever, need another Gold for it to be our most succesful.

BUT THERE'S NO SPEED SKATING TODAY, WHAT DO WE DO?!

[MDK]

Noted ice country Holland

[EddieG]

The roots of speed skating date back over a millennium to Scandinavia, Northern Europe and the Netherlands

EDIT: That's from wiki.

[MDK]

Skating on speed

[HailtotheYo]

USA USA USA USA USA USA USA !!!!!!!!!!!!

[The Buscher]

What a game. Oshie. Holy shit.

[EddieG]

First men's speed skating race without a Dutch winner.

And only by 0.003 seconds.

[The Buscher]

And the US is in to the quarter finals

[Colly]

200/1 for Jamaica to win the two man bob. So tempting.

[Monkey D. Lars]

1,2 and 3 again!

Kiss me lucky egg, mon

First men's speed skating race without a Dutch winner.

And only by 0.003 seconds.

They redeemed it though by sweeping the women's 1500m by taking the top 4 spots.

Dutch dominance at it's finest, take one sport and absolutely dominate it completely.
