Olympics Day Five--mixed double curling is a hoot (lots of screaming)

Curling is awesome because it’s the only sport where some dude who looks like a middle-aged accountant can be a gold medal athlete.

The coverage really is horrible. Curling and ice dancing? Is that really all there is? Yesterday was a little better with some skiing and snowboarding. But then came an interview with Katie Couric. Really? It's the Olympics and I have to sit and watch Couric talk about all the Olympic pins she has collected over the past 60 years. The biathlon was OK. On the plus side it has shooting. On the down side it has cross country skiing. I am sure it is a tough sport, but kinda slow to watch. Although better than curling.

Bring on the Men's Hockey.

That women is sublime....just a pleasure to the eyes.

“The Rooskie team is married and the wife keeps screaming like crazy at her husband.”

She’s going to wind up with a broken vodka bottle over her head.

Now they’re showing excerpts from the Canada vs Norway mixed double semifinals.

“What’s better than curling coverage-—bonus curling coverage!” Yes, that’s what the announcer said.

[bgill]

Me neither. Too many US athletes have bad mouthed Trump and get all bent out of shape over skin color and flaunt their gayness. No thanks.

[GnuThere]

Oh, the Norwegian team both looked like models, so there’s that!

[BenLurkin]

She’s busy hooking up electrodes to some political prisoner.

Just for laughs.

Less exciting than muffins, but more exciting than tea.

I wonder how these curling people practice and get themselves in good condition: do they mop their kitchen floors or sweep their driveways really fast? Do they practice box like Rocky and do squat thrusts?

[RooRoobird20]

The announcer said the Canadian pair is engaged but they have been known to have gotten into heated arguments on the ice. They are seeing a sports psychologist and couples therapist.

“Watching the Chinese screeching was a hoot!”

You haven’t been yelled at until your Chinese wife starts screaming at you! All you can do is stand there and take it. Freak out!

[Yo-Yo]

Curling is the ideal women’s sport - They’re a natural with a broom in their hands...

[Bonemaker]

If I were the guy I’d be seeing a bartender.

[RooRoobird20]

Women’s ski jumping on now for those who can’t stand curling.

[freefdny]

And the Chinese woman cheating was also a hoot. She kicked the Norwegian stone with the side of her foot to push it away from scoring. The Norwegian man had to yell and appeal to the crowd since curling doesn’t have a ref before the woman relented and admitted she kicked it.

I’m surprised the Oriental athlete’s aren’t up in arms with all this talk about slopes.

[EQAndyBuzz]

“The screaming/screechin0g is enough to make you want to reach for your side arm, Sounds like exotic birds in the jungle.”

I’m loving it. I was waiting for the brother/sister team from Wisconsin to start pounding on each other.

[RooRoobird20]

LMAO!

Olympic channel is covering women’s ice hockey.
