Souris

Those crashes in the freestyle hafpipe looked BRUTAL. Thank heavens the guys seemed to be OK eventually. I spent every subsequent run cringing in fear for the skier.

U.S. had a good day! Four medals! Finally one in speed skating, and the first gold ever in cross-country.

Honestly, that women's cross-country women’s team sprint freestyle finish was the most exciting thing I've seen in the Olympics so far. How did Jessie Diggins do that at the end???? It didn't seem like enough time/distance left for her to overcome the leader but she did it!! I even knew when I was watching that the U.S. won gold, but it didn't look like it was going to be possible! (At least to my untrained eye.) Way to go!

Oh, there's another one. (Russian*) Shes very pink. And goes boom. At least it's not shaping up for a sweep now.

Aww, dang, I was really hoping Mirai would nail that triple axel again. But you could see she was nervous before the start.

Vonn really was breaking down in the interview after the downhill. Wonder how much was the disappointment of not getting gold and how much was the fact it was her last downhill. They said she was the oldest downhill medalist, which is nothing to sneeze.

I spent the whole segment cringing because of the dog-eating thing and wondering if they ate these type of dogs or not.

If you're gonna skate to that, you need to at least wear a creepy mask.

Hi! :) Her music and outfit are pretty darn cool!

I don't like when skaters splice two wildly different songs together. It makes the program feel choppy IMO.

To me it looks like the bottom is the same but the top is different (similar, but definitely different). GP goes yellow down to green on the fringe, Olympic top is reversed, green down to yellow. Also, the Olympic top has all-over sequins/beading on the neck area, which on the GP top it's in discrete rows.

From rumors, Colin was apparently considering giving up on acting before he got the Once role, because he wasn't having much success, so I don't think he was in a position to turn it down for something that was more up his alley -- it was more like a huge opportunity for him. As for the former paragraph, how do we know that those shows are being floated to Once cast members? The story doesn't mention that -- is that just something you've heard?

Some of our big names have faltered (Vonn, Shiffrin, Nathan Chen), and there've been quite a few Americans who have finished just off the podium in fourth. I think overall it's been a disappointing games for the U.S.

I had to take to my bed with a migraine so wasn't able to watch the ice dancing live, which I'm cranky about. But I'm THRILLED that the ShibSibs got a bronze! Though I wish they'd have done it over a clean H/D, as they should've. I haven't watched any program but the Shibs yet. Is it right that H/D messed up on a twizzle? If so, I'm going to pretend it was the Spirit of the Twizzle that manifested and was like "Huh-huh, nope, not gonna allow any judging fuckery to stick my Twizzle Children in fourth." So sad Chock/Bates fell. Ah, I finally realized who Papadakis looks like! Stana Katic! It's been bugging the crap out of me.

This this this. So much this. I am so ticked about the obvious lowballing of the Shibs in favor of H/D. The Free Dance has been the ShibSibs' weaker program all season. If they're not getting the levels they should've gotten for their Short, they're not going to get them for their Free.

I saw Shiffrin decided not to race the downhill after they moved the combined up a day because of high winds in the forecast. That would've been back-to-back days.

Ah, I forgot about the cut!

Aren't there six teams in a flight? They're in sixth.

I'm so annoyed, but it's exactly what was predicted. I really don't like Hubbell/Donohue. They're annoying and that routine was boooooring. Definite hose job on the ShibSibs.

Papadakis is dressed as Sexy Peter Pan.

It's possible he accepted but didn't realize he'd have to leave the athletes' village to do it, and once he realized/found that out, he changed his mind. That's not something I would've realized would be necessary.

I loved the joy in the ShibSibs' routine. But it really looks to me like the judges are eyeballing them more closely than some other teams. Those yellows! Ugh, so frustrating! One of their elements actually went from green to yellow. They aren't the "chosen ones" for the judges, I guess.

Mikaela Shiffrin indicated in an interview that she hadn't decided if she'll ski the downhill or not. Why would she not ski an event? Conserving energy for a different event? Only X number of skiers can ski from one country and somebody else might get the spot? Why? Clearly I'm missing something.

Apparently the Russian* curler said he thinks his drink was spiked by another Russian curler who wasn't picked for the team. OK.
