Thundercat 60 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 As for snow, it's my understanding that Sochi is the warmest place they've ever held the winter olympics. The palm trees might have been the give-away. There are palm trees in Vancouver as well. So much friggin curling on the schedule to be televised. Meanwhile the Olympics premier sport...men's hockey....is barely going to be aired. And the games they do air are the crap teams...I've been trying all the VPN trickery but none of it seems to work well at all. F'ing bummed... All the matches are on the NHK website. http://olympic.nhk.or.jp/online-listing/day=2014-02-11/index.html I'm pretty sure they are airing them without commentary so you'll miss all the comments about tall foreigners.

scouser 4 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 2 Japanese with medals in half pipe and no Shaun White? What happened there then? Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 As for snow, it's my understanding that Sochi is the warmest place they've ever held the winter olympics. The palm trees might have been the give-away. There are palm trees in Vancouver as well. Yes, and as I recall Vancouver was nearly a disaster too, snow-wise, wasn't it? (Aren't Vancouver and Sochi known as places people go to get AWAY from winter?) But I'm sure Pyeongchang will have none of these problems. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Palm trees can't be that good for winter sports, surely. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Watching the women's half pipe......are the Japanese commentators snowboard specific (do they know their stuff) or are they just generic sports commentators? Anybody know? Link to post Share on other sites
