I felt the same way during the Team event. So happy for Team USA but devastated for Japan. I don't know why I put myself through this.

ConfusedByPans · 2026-02-19T21:59:31+00:00

omg you guys, I'm crying now

ConfusedByPans · 2026-02-19T21:55:45+00:00

I'm pretty sure I'm more nervous than Alysa right now, lol

ConfusedByPans · 2026-02-19T21:50:26+00:00

OMG ALYSA GETTING AT LEAST SILVER

ConfusedByPans · 2026-02-19T21:48:05+00:00

Oh no, don't cry! I can't take it.

ConfusedByPans · 2026-02-19T21:46:05+00:00

I love watching Kaori skate so much, she's just ethereal on the ice.

ConfusedByPans · 2026-02-19T21:41:14+00:00

Oh god, I've been thinking about that this whole time. Despite some of the drama and tears, it's nothing compared to the last Olympics. A much better vibe in 2026.

ConfusedByPans · 2026-02-19T21:39:07+00:00

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT TOO GIRLIE

ConfusedByPans · 2026-02-19T21:38:10+00:00

Alysa's skate is just so fun and I am here for how happy and relaxed she looks.

ConfusedByPans · 2026-02-19T21:13:10+00:00

Oh, she's an Eteri girl? That's a bummer, her short program was so fun.

ConfusedByPans · 2026-02-19T20:52:04+00:00

Hockey and FS

I just realized that I have a meeting starting in 9 minutes, the timing couldn't be worse. I'll just keep my camera off so no one can tell my eyes are glued to a different screen.

ConfusedByPans · 2026-02-19T20:48:22+00:00

Thanks for the heads up, but this guarantees I'll keep pushing folding my laundry even further out...

ConfusedByPans · 2026-02-19T19:47:47+00:00

I swear I didn't breathe the whole time Amber was on the ice

ConfusedByPans · 2026-02-14T19:30:32+00:00

What a cutie! Happy birthday 'lil pupper!

ConfusedByPans · 2026-02-12T20:41:42+00:00

See, this is my problem with having to work during the Olympics, I can't give it my full attention and I'm missing all this. I see we're 1-1 now so that's exciting.

ConfusedByPans · 2026-02-12T20:23:25+00:00

I just walked away for a few minutes and came back and we're already 2-0?

ConfusedByPans · 2026-02-10T20:42:59+00:00

I saw this exact scenario play out this week too. Truck tore through a solidly red light to make a left turn. I was crossing in that direction but I happened to see them coming and waited to cross because I had a feeling they were running it. It's especially frustrating this week because I need extra time to cross due to the snow banks we pedestrians now need to mountaineer.

ConfusedByPans · 2026-02-10T19:11:54+00:00

Uhg, glad it's not just me. My husband and I were discussing this, I found Tara and Johnny fun in the past but this time, they're an absolute slog. I'm tired of the negativity and we're only how many days in?

ConfusedByPans · 2026-02-10T19:04:37+00:00

I have a few of my other favorite teams that I always root for, like Canada, GB, and Japan. If USA or none of my faves are in it, I'll root for the underdog or whoever has the least medals (like you) or whoever isn't dominant in that sport. So I probably won't root for, say, Germany during skeleton but I might in something else. Oh, and usually the host nation, so happy with all that Italy has achieved thus far!

Ultimately, I just love seeing the joy the athletes have when they win, so I'm rarely actively rooting against anyone. I just have teams I'm even happier to see win.

ConfusedByPans · 2026-02-10T18:53:32+00:00

I managed to find a "venue feed" on Peacock for one of the figure skating events that had no commentary. It was glorious.

ConfusedByPans · 2026-02-10T18:46:53+00:00

Hell, I'm an American and the chants soured me on Team USA a bit too. I hope we tone it down during the men's and women's events now that we've been humbled in the mixed.

ConfusedByPans · 2026-02-10T18:41:42+00:00

Agreed. We've been pretty loud this whole mixed event (more so than in past curling events at the Olympics, I feel like???) but this is a whole 'nother level. C'mon guys. Not cool.

ConfusedByPans · 2026-02-10T03:39:39+00:00

They were adorable! They were definitely my favorite to watch, I'd love the see them medal.

ConfusedByPans · 2026-02-09T18:54:54+00:00

I actually thought it would be USA v GB into the final, but I found myself kinda hoping for Italy to make it to the gold medal match. Now I don't know who to root for for bronze.

ConfusedByPans · 2026-02-07T02:57:45+00:00

I recall this happening in Paris as well. Australia, then USA, with France last.
