kkk 7 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Anoyone going to be watching much of the Olympics? (I'm not sure what channel they're going to be on - anyone?) What events you interested in? I always like seeing bobsleigh - coz I had a go (at a small one) when I was younger and I want to try it myself. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I'm intrigued by the female speed skaters. I can never look at that enormous muscle development without thinking "hmm, wonder what sort of experience that would be.." Link to post Share on other sites
SerreChe 2 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I am sure you have seen Blade Runner soubriquet... Old movie, but will give you some hints as to what happens. Link to post Share on other sites
dale#1 1 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I'd rather be out on the hills myself I'll usually end up watching it when the tv is on though. Link to post Share on other sites

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 winter olympics? I love ice hockey!! What channel(s) are the Olympics gonna be on? NHK? Do you have to have a satellite and pay for them? Link to post Share on other sites
number9 0 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 NHK and other broadcaster's schedule. http://www.joc.or.jp/torino/pdf/tvsch_nhk.pdf http://www.joc.or.jp/torino/pdf/tvsch.pdf It'll be all Japan all the time, but that's the same anywhere you go in the world, homers. There's bunch of hockey games scheduled (mostly tape delayed), so there's hope. And moguls are on the first few days of the games, should be fun. Link to post Share on other sites
nzlegend 1 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I will be looking out for Miki Ando. I hear you Soubriquet some of those speed skaters have athletic shapely legs. Link to post Share on other sites

damian 0 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I am really close each weekend but not going. I was going to visit the resorts before the games, but found that the actual resort websites were almost useless (in English). Even finding a quality piste map was impossible. So I didn't go. I think they got 50cm of snow last week, but before that my understanding was that they were in deep trouble... no snow. Link to post Share on other sites
IIIII 2 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Japan should sell them some snow. Link to post Share on other sites
number9 0 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Nagano Olympics had no snow until right before the games and people were really worried. Then there were huge dumps right before and during the games which actually caused some problems like downhill that I went to see being rescheduled because of too much snow! So, not all hope is lost, but time is running out eh.. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Quote: Japan should sell them some snow. No. That's not on. As everyone should know, Japanese snow is not suited to foreigners ski equipment and so that would not be fair and would give the Japanese competitors and unfair advantage.

GO CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope I can see some hockey games and short track speed skating. A good friend of mine should be racing. Long track is borrrrrrring. On the weekend I walked up to the base of the Hakuba ski jumps. SCARY SHIT those things. Link to post Share on other sites

number9 0 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 And those ski jumpers race down those things that are practically ice tracks! Ever seen those ski flying competitions on 200m hills? Insanity. (Normal is 90m and Large hill is 120m.) Too bad your friend's not on the team, short track and long track are such different competitions. I get to cheer for both Canada and Japan and add up the medal count, yes There aren't many competitions where I have to worry about conflict of interest, heh. Link to post Share on other sites
