Damn, she was ludicrously better than anybody else, like she could have skipped half her jumps and still won.

Is that used as a performance enhancer?

Shame that Shaun white couldn’t go out on a high note but I’m glad I got to see his last ride.

Nice to see schiffrin get back in the skies. She had a tiny blip but her super g run was nice.

He was lucky to even be hanging around with those young cats. I remember when he was consistently on a different level than everyone else and he has been lapped now. The crazy thing about some of these individual olympic sports is that no matter how dominant any one athlete is their records or skill level on tricks will be obliterated in just a few years. Did they ever explain why the US judge totally fucked the Japanese kid that had that insane 2nd run?

Almost feel bad for the figure skaters, it's obviously a sport that requires a lifetime of dedication and a unique combination of strength, flexibility, and balance, but NBC apparently thinks trotting out some dude that dresses oddly makes the sport more interesting?

Find it kind of like Cubs baseball where you just turn off the commentary to avoid the tedious droning of Boobs Chiambi and the sleep inducing thoughts of that dude that used to pitch for the Astros.

This Olympics has been boring but the figure skating drama was like a movie.

I heard the interview with Eileen Gu after she won the gold last night. What an out of touch, arrogant and spoiled brat. That was an all time awful interview. I can not remember the last time an athlete went on a live mic like that and went out of their way to announce how amazing they were. She started by bringing up accomplishments that the interviewer did not even mention and also mixed in a solid 3rd person reference. She made "Jon Moxon is only one man" look like the humblest speech of all time.

Women's figure skating is the women's gymnastics of the winter games, a lot of teenage girls, have to be somewhat cute, wear sparkly outfits, requires a specific type of athletic ability and some artistic presentation.

The only real difference is that the figure skaters have the ice show thing they can do to monetize success, kind of like the summer county fair circuit for washed up country singers.

Eileen Gu is certainly very pleased with with what Eileen Gu has accomplished. If you have a moment, Eileen Gu would like to you how great Eileen Gu is :lol: : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvy_-_lifRg

She's an American who has to pretend to be Chinese for a few weeks who will likely never be treated the same in her home country again for it. Something tells me that this will end up as a sad story as China slowly stops caring about her now that the Olympics are over.

It probably will. That was very uncomfortable to watch. China will throw her away and she will be treated as one of the worst sell outs of all time by the Americans in her sport. At least she had a direct link to China unlike some other athletes they had competing for them. I heard Chelios talking about his son playing for team China. It sounded like China created an expansion team in the Russian (KHL) Hockey league 3 years ago and filled it with failed NHL prospects. That apparently gave them their 2 years of residency (mystery if any are chinese citizens or not) which allowed them to compete for China.

Lebron will still love her when she returns.

I don’t think the chicoms throw out their former athletic heroes (unless they criticize the party or something).

This girl is successful and a huge propaganda win for them. They’ll probably make her a billionaire.
