Snowboarding in the Olympics has always seemed weird. I understand how the scoring works but at the end of the day it seems difficult to say "this guy's awesome tricks were better than this guy's awesome tricks." There was some scuttlebutt that as long as White didn't fall, he would walk away with the gold. It did seem like he had the run of a lifetime, especially after hearing claims that it was dim that the only thing he could see were those blue lines, but I'm hoping this leads to his retirement from the Olympics. He redeemed himself, great, now walk away and let's see what the next generation can do.
I find the luge amazing because the minute adjustments they make can lead to differences in hundredths of a second. It's crazy that the difference between first and tenth place was like two seconds or something.
I thought the biathlon would be more exciting (guns!) but the race I watched was like 45 minutes long and I just lost interest. They're great athletes and amazing and all that but unless they're shooting at each other it's just not that interesting.
I could talk about curling until you begged me to stop. I love it!
