Winter Olympics 2018: Korean women's ice hockey team lose historic opener

I know the Korean ice hockey team is not a hot favourite to win a gold medal but thought it was pretty rude to force the players to have a 'unified' team. Did the players have a say in this? Strategically, very hard to play well with people you never played with.

 

Absolute carnage in the mens moguls tonight. Matty Graham is through to the final. Hit it pretty hard on the qualifier.

 

He's pulled another 1/2 second off his run, a big 10 and up to the no 1 position with 3 to come. 2 points more than his previous run.

 

Kingsbury just put down a blinder of a run.

 

Well deserved gold to the Canadian with Jpn coming in third.

Absolutely brilliant Matt, the boy from the Central Coast.

 

Yesterday we had some success in the half pipe. Scotty James walked away with the Bronze. An amazing ride by Shaun White, he puts on a great show.

Lots more action today with Silver in the Border X - I have a retired colleague up in the Goldie who detests the cold (& sport). She is absolutely loving the madness of the BX, the sheer stupidity of the skeleton and the wild ride on the luge.

 

Favourite highlight for me (among many) was watching Scotty James take bronze in the men's freestyle half pipe snowboard, but an even better moment was watching Shaun White's gold medal last run to overtake the Japanese guy....arguably the best run ever. WOW.

 

Looks pretty cold over there,
I'd schedule it for a warmer time of year.

 

I've never seen something as boring and captivating at the same time as the winter olympics

 

Fans want athletes banned after abandoning teammate

Pathetic and hope that they ban the other two skaters. No need to have trash in the sporting arena

 

It's like high school immaturity

 

Considering the winter Olympics is once every 4 years, you're think you can put your differences aside and try to get the job done.

 

Oooops forgot to check back into the thread I created. Funny highlight for me the wardrobe malfunction. Ice scaters boob fell out.

 

You'll have to find a link to the video.

 

A quick congrats to all the Aussie Paralympians. Done well guys.

Everyone has overcome some great obstacles to come out on top.

Great bag of medals all without government or AIS support.

PS: brickbatt for Ch7 for not giving adequate coverage.

 

... Coverage? I had zero idea there was any Winter Paralympic games on.

On another note... Invictus games will be in Sydney mid October this year. Current plans are, I'm part of the refereeing contingent of the sitting volleyball competition. Should be fun!
