Opening ceremony was great.So you are an Olympics fan? Was in Sochi, and now is in Korea :D Nice, waiting for fresh photos from the event :clapping: :P :popcorn:
Better than Sochi as I remember.
Weird how there was an American skating for So Korea...a French girl and Ukrainian guy skating for Germany...what's up with all that?
The Russians are skating for themselves.
I can't find it right now...but if you didn't see their program find it and watch. It was fantastic!

RIDICULOUS running of Snowboarding Slope-style final - athletes lives were put at risk

Not just the risk to the athletes - we were robbed of seeing the amazing abilities of the athletes- a FARCE
New Zealand had a youngster making her Olympic debut on what should have been the highlight of her sporting life, and she got picked up by the wind and dumped halfway through one of her spins.
Congratulations to the Russian skaters who took the gold and silver.
The Olympic censors have blocked their videos on youtube claiming copyright :cluebat:
Here's Alina [while it lasts]..............................................

I guess they didn't believe her.
The Russian Bobsled Federation -- yes, that is a thing -- confirmed that she tested positive for a banned substance, a heart medication that affects metabolism.http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/winter-olympics/russian-olympian-who-wore-i-dont-do-doping-shirt-caught-for-doping/ar-BBJvcgE?ocid=spartanntp
What makes this more surprising is two weeks before the Olympics she was seen wearing a shirt that read, " I don't do doping."
Can't these athletes take medication [if it is indeed prescribed and listed]??
Probably not normal for a 30 year old top athlete to be taking medication for heart disease.
I am not in favor of performance enhancing drugs and Russia was rightfully banned for having a systematic plan for cheating.
However, I think some individual persons get caught for reasons not of their own choosing.
For instance, many common over the counter medications for common colds, etc., seem to contain forbidden ingredients.
I for one, would not know whether any such medications that I take contain the banned substances.
I for one, would not know whether any such medications that I take contain the banned substances.Because you are not competing in sports events ;). I believe that those who do have relevant lists readily available though their Federations, team trainers and physicians, etc. etc.
The Russians are simply bad world citizens --intent on trying to create trouble for everyone else .
Dear JayH, shut up with your anti-Russian paranoia, please... it's really tiresome.
If we take into account that the strongest athletes were not invited by Olympic Committee without explaining, and Russia is represented by not the strongest athletics, the 6th place looks not too bad http://pyeongchang.olympicchannel.com/medals/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=fb-post&utm_campaign=social-owned_ResultsMedals
By the way, I hope for one more gold from hockey team, women have chances in skiing also. :P
There have now been 2 positive tests by Russians in Korea -- a disgrace -again.
Russians bagged the gold that matters most at these Olympics! :clapping:

There is no one event that matters the most. But if it did, it would be in male competition, not female. More speed, more power, usually, more athleticism.
JayH, my condolences :D

Although the Russian flag didn't fly, they stood and sang the Russian national anthem which is more respectful than what some American football players do.
