seemore 66 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Have we got any favourites, relatives, people we once bumped on the slopes that we should be rooting for? Not sure of too many people in Australian team Hope Chumpy can bring home the Gold and Of course Torah if she goes in Snowboarding Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 IF Torah goes in? She is the first to compete in three snowboard events at the same Olympics! Half pipe, slopestyle and boardercross. We've been following her quest and qualifications for those last two since the Junior Bearcub competed in Ufa, Russia last Feb. Just quietly Torah is my favourite ;-) Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Gotta hope Uemura manages to get a medal at last. Been a long, slow stair climb for her. Link to post Share on other sites

Alexander L 80 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 But I seriously fear those separatists would do some damage. Those Ugandans are brutal. Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I can't wait for the hockey to start. I'll have to figure out how to get it streaming online because no doubt none of it will be on Japanese TV. All we are going to see here are figure skating, short track and women's ski jumping.....argh!! Link to post Share on other sites
stemik 14 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I'm with you on that Chriselle, the coverage on NHK is usually very poor. I love the alpine skiing races but not everyone is shown. Let me know if you find a good link. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 The online NHK coverage is actually really good. They stream a bunch of different events at the same time without commentary. It's not every event but they do get most and it's free as well. Link to post Share on other sites
