ncorrenti 0 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 The TV coverage here in Australia sucks bigtime. They put it on at 10pm at night and even then they usually only show the "highlights". Not happy Link to post Share on other sites
number9 0 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 They must've at least have shown the half pipe events live? There were Aussie competitors.. Link to post Share on other sites
ncorrenti 0 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Yeah they broadcast the finals of the halfpipe, not the qualifying though. Link to post Share on other sites

V 0 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Does it ever snow there? Bright blue skies every day! Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Quote: Originally posted by V: Does it ever snow there? It can quite seriously go 2-3 weeks without one snow flake. It is a bit depressing but quite normal for many Europeans. Besides, the Italian ski resort culture is one that values a southern facing sunny aspect for a suntan and a resort that serves good food. Japanese style snow fall/weather (and resort food) would no be popular with the ski-holiday masses. The snow conditions in the Alps can be quite desperate. I have seriously seen massive areas that have just as bad snow conditions and a thinner pack than you will find in places like Australia. The saving grace for the Alps is the height (relative to Australia) and the temperature being quite cold, so northerly slopes stay in ok condition for a long time. But be warned, booking a 2 week to the Alps can be a terrible disaster: crap icy snow pack and blue skies every day for the whole time. There are some classic well known resorts in Europe that have not even properly opened yet. I love Europe, but the image of it being the home of snow and snow sports is an oddity, since it gets less and poorer quality snow than Canada, America and Japan. The mountains aren't even that high compared to the American peaks. Link to post Share on other sites

Goemon 0 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Quote: Wow! Women's curling, Japan v Russia coming up! They are certainly working up a sweat with their, "CHU!CHU!CHU!CHU!CHU!" "woah" "Ohhh! Nyet! Nyet! Nyet!" "Yamosh!" I wish Low Pressure Lover's friend was commenting for this event to "spice" it up some more. Link to post Share on other sites
nzlegend 1 Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 Some of the speed skaters I am watching now are bizarre looking women! not the tall ones, they look athletic but the short tree trunk ones with thighs bigger than their waists! most unusual, USA providing a couple of prime examples. Kowai. The blond Russian was a highlight of the curling, more zannen for the Nippon. Maybe its their new slogan- Zannen Nippon! X - country skiing was quite exciting. wish they had a big air comp at the Olympics for the boarders Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Goemon, you are a perve. I think biathlon is a unique and challenging event. Speed + endurance + shooting ability under pressure + heart rate control. Link to post Share on other sites

scouser 4 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Those speed skaters are certainly a very off-putting shape. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 They should find a way to combine biathlon with ice dancing. I have a couple of suggestions. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 How the chinese got second in pairs figure skating blows me away. The woman got thrown into the boards and had to take a 10 minute break. Then they place second? Judged sports do not belong in the olympics! Link to post Share on other sites
tamsbond 0 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 the speed skaters have legs similar to many cyclists... and quite out of proportion to the rest of their bodies. it's a bit bizarre... but i guess it's what comes from having such power and endurance in their legs.
