Seen a lot of threads about the Olympics lately and figured it would be good to have a thread to keep it all in one place. FOR ALL SPORTS. I don't know about you guys but I couldn't be more stoked!

You can't just title it with official and think your thread will trample the rest.

I think it's kinda stupid how they can't market their brands like they can in the xgames, by showing the camera their skis after their run and things like that.

Why does Russia feel it's necessary to tag their shit as "sochi.ru 2014"


Is there any doubt that Sochi is, in fact, in Russia?

Could you imagine if other Olympics had done that shit? "Beijing.CH 08"

Because russia is a desperate attention whore of a country. They just want the rest of the world to stop seeing it for the 3rd world dump that it is.

Biggest trick I've seen in women's slope is a 540 so far.. The jumps are so massive that a 7 would be easy for them

Can someone post a schedule of the times NBC will be airing the events? Because I know they dont air them at the time they are taking place. Ive been looking for ever for one and the closest I can find is the time that the events are taking place in EST.

It would be much appreciated.
