Halfpipe is rigged. I actually saw someone on Twitter call it Concafy, which is the best description ever.

This announcing about Shiffrin is starting to get a little rooting-for-the-special-needs-kid-ish. She got down the mountain without crashing, isn't it wonderful, can you believe it?

I screwed that up. Kristen Santos is taken out by another skater and finishes fourth. That's what I get for posting after only one cup of coffee.

We need to start getting more dominant at speed skating. Yall think Athing Mu needs a winter sport instead of indoor track

The NL sells out for speedskating and devotes all their money and resources to it. I just checked and out of their 10 medals...yep, all 10 came from speedskating.

At least she didn't have to endure a decade of falls before finally medaling like Dan Jansen.

So great to see after watching him in tears from getting knocked out in his 1st run yesterday. Here's to all the Dad bods out there!

Loved the video of him watching her come down. To have out your whole adult life into it, now you're 40, your last shot, and it's in your teammate's hands. But she's the best in the world. Just cool to watch him process it all.

~22 years ago I would frequently sit at the bottom of a run watching Nick do insane (at the time) snowboard tricks; crazy to think that he's now an olympic gold medalist.

was thinking the same. Must be nice knowing you have her to hand off to. But dude crushed his leg too which was so cool.

The Erin Jackson and Brittany Bowe story is why I love the Olympics.

Despite all the cynicism, this TEAM USA has been great an very easy to root for in every sport win or lose.

There was this cool moment at the end of the anthem. About 10 seconds before the end of the song, she looked over at him to take in his reaction with this big prideful smile on her face. She is fairly stoic, but that moment said so much about how she was taking it all in. She had already had her breakthrough a few days earlier, so it was more about just seeing how her friend was enjoying his. A really selfless moment that just really struck me.

Not sure the exact shoe but one is meant to slide across the ice and the other to push off!

And a bronze in ice dance.
Good day for the US, 2 golds, a bronze and a silver.

Most golds ever for the US in a Winter Olympics is 10 - that's actually attainable, especially if the hockey teams come through.
