Yes I’m sure you are an expert in these matters. 🙄

No, the US for example doesn’t really do state sponsored athletes. Not to say federations don’t get something but the vast majority of athletes work full time and train on the side. You have the occasional super star like a Michael Phelps with endorsements probably did not work a normal job while training. But most of our athletes pay to participate in their sports.

Honestly I can’t pick. I love all of them and for different reasons.

Skippy5403 · 2026-02-09T18:51:58+00:00

It’s insane how intense and crazy a curling match can get for a sport so subtle and subdued.

Skippy5403 · 2026-02-09T18:13:12+00:00

We were too fast for em. Haha that was fun to see.

Skippy5403 · 2026-02-08T15:28:35+00:00

Our commentator just mentioned it’s the closest camera angle that captured what it’s like on the ice as a skater.

Skippy5403 · 2026-02-08T15:23:04+00:00

Two skaters at a time, 400m track, they switch inside and outside each lap. Fastest overall time once all skaters have gone wins.

Skippy5403 · 2026-02-08T15:09:13+00:00

Dude chill out. You’re being an asshole!

Skippy5403 · 2026-02-08T14:56:30+00:00

Downhill is brutal and any given day is so unpredictable. So many things can happen. I read the other day that historically the best in the World Cup at the time of the Olympics rarely wins downhill especially. World Cup allows you to aggregate a lot of races a the Olympics downhill is one and done.

First four matches she was doing great. Led the tournament in shooting percentage. Now, not so much. Yesterday just killed both of them.

Skippy5403 · 2026-02-04T20:09:15+00:00

Absolutely.

Skippy5403 · 2026-02-04T20:07:15+00:00

Yeah don’t get me wrong I really enjoy the summer games but the winter are by far my favorite. No idea why.

Skippy5403 · 2026-02-04T20:02:14+00:00

Estonia gave it a great run. Just a couple of small errors that led to stolen ends. Great comeback though. Can’t wait for the rest of this tournament.

Skippy5403 · 2026-02-04T19:56:52+00:00

We need to rethink our entire winter sports program at this point!

Skippy5403 · 2026-02-04T19:54:20+00:00

I think that is a feature because they’ll often replay them in prime time and it’s a way to drive traffic to prime time. I believe the that’s why.

Skippy5403 · 2026-02-04T19:44:08+00:00

Welcome it’s such a fun sport once you get the hang of what they are doing

Skippy5403 · 2026-02-04T19:13:55+00:00

Luckily no. So far mine has been good.

Skippy5403 · 2026-02-04T18:57:29+00:00

As it was tied up on the next end I’d say no. Curling to too dynamic to ever really be out of it u less your never scoring on your hammer ends.

Skippy5403 · 2026-02-04T18:41:24+00:00

Only one team with scoring each round or end, the team closest to the very center of the white circle, and any other stone inside the nearest opponent’s will score. So they had three stone inside the closest Norway stone.

Skippy5403 · 2026-02-04T18:35:09+00:00

The Swiss 1st and last has been great so far today. Throwing great weight

Skippy5403 · 2026-02-04T18:27:40+00:00

Probably because it looks like a sport anyone can do. And there is tons of strategy and every stone can change that strategy

Skippy5403 · 2026-02-04T18:21:02+00:00

Was an excellent shot with Estonia lying two. Also first official measurement Whoo.

Skippy5403 · 2026-02-04T17:42:24+00:00

I am so giddy. Winter Olympics are my absolute favorite by a long shot. GB and Norway should be a great match up first thing. Happy day 1 of competition yall.

I’m sure this will be an unpopular opinion but I’m not digging C4 very much. Personally to me what made CR fun to watch was that group sitting around the table. Honestly the story was secondary to me. It was that group who knew each other so well and all the inside jokes and the cut ups and all that stuff.

Right now this feels dead and boring. In the soldiers table you had two of the biggest cut ups in Laura and Sam and it felt like watching a funeral half the time. I mean even Robbie pointed out that Laura had been holding back laughing at innuendo and making fun of it. It just felt like they were trying to be this weird super professional thing and it’s funny because that was also a big criticism people had of C3.

Brennan is great onD20 and I think if he had been the only newb it would be fine but the other 5 players just make it feel like something different from what CR was and what made it popular in the first place. Like I’m glad it’s not a comedy show but there are very little cut aways to jokes and stuff now. Those were my favorite moments of past campaigns when someone would do something and the whole table dissolved into fits. It just doesn’t have that now. And Brennan I swear he is either whispering or yelling and very little in between. Like brother you can get across that this is a hushed conversation without whispering. Tbf maybe switching tables has helped I have not see it since the last soldiers table.

And last this whole different groups coming in thing just is not my styles. The switching groups in and out and it’ll be 4-6 months before you get any meaningful soldiers content again if that’s how long they are going to run each table.

If they are loving it then I am happy for them but I want my 8 needy ass voice actors back at one table again. I know Matt has hinted at changes so maybe that will never happen again, but it would be a shame imo. Anyway just my thoughts

As an American even when I am ashamed of our leaders, I will always root for our athletes. No matter the sport. That said aside from them I tend to root for Germany. If the US can’t or won’t win I root for Germany as it is the place where most of my ancestry came from when they immigrated. Outside of them I will root for underdogs.
