You joke, but Biathlon has become one of my favorite Winter Olympics sports.

the atmosphere in the stadium was electric

That guy is 1 million times better at Twitter than Rovel. 

And if it was 1996, by now they would be demanding half a billion dollars in public money for a new stadium!

No, it’s that Jackie Chan, but the guy can sing.

I’ve heard various people say that if Toronto had gotten either the ‘96 or ‘08 games than there’d almost certainly be an NFL team in town as whatever Olympic stadium would have been built probably would have satisfied the NFL in the ways that the Skydome doesn’t.

Nenshi is a great mayor. He should give some pointers to ours in TO.

Looking at cross country skiers at the conclusion of the event is hilarious. They’re like frozen, snotsicle covered zombies at the finish line. It’s also quite possibly the single most demanding Olympic event.

The best part of the Olympics is all the weird stuff though, I can watch hockey anytime.

I empathise with Nenshi’s POV there. Some cities, including my own, pay out way more to provincial and federal governments than they get in return and you can twist yourself into a pretzel in trying to justify nonsense in thinking it might get some infrastructure money coming your way.

For the Gold Medal question, curling.  Either you get really good and drink a lot, or die trying and drink a lot.  And you have at least 3 teammates to help out.  

This is disappointing and downright irresponsible.

I’m saying this is the unauthorized biography of tens of thousands of Chinese Asian guys.

This won’t apply to everyone, but me and my husband had been going thru infertility treatments, and the worst advice everyone loves to give is “Just relax! It will happen when you least expect it!” No, Karen, it won’t. I don’t ovulate without medical help. Ovulation requires pills and shots and transvaginal…

“Never give up on your dreams”.

I’ve heard a lot in the last few years about being excellent every day. I think that sets up terrible expectations and can throw folks off balance of what their body and minds actually need. It seems that people should do the best they can every day, but sometimes that amounts to just being okay. I know I don’t have…
