Intense women’s curling final
If you still don’t think curling can be exciting, you weren’t watching the women’s final between Canada and Sweden this afternoon. Of course, the majority of the crowd was Canadian, and you’ve never heard such a ruckus. They’ve been very vocal throughout the whole tournament; ringing cowbells, cheering, and donning outrageous outfits. You’d have thought [...]
What are you watching today?
There are six medals being awarded today. Which contests will you be watching?

First up, after days of delays, women’s [...]
Olympic Schedule 2/16
So, what’s on today’s schedule?
Today was supposed to be Super Combined in men’s downhill, but due to poor weather conditions (blowing now and low visibility), that event has been pushed to Friday. At this rate, Alpine skiing will finish up sometime in March or April.
Presumably, the snow won’t stop biathlon (it’s still on the [...]
