US is dominating mixed doubles curling and scored a big upset over Canada. The team of Cory Thiesse and Korey Dropkin are 4-0, the best start of any US curling team.

Team Ice Skating is underway. Women's short form was yesterday (Italy time) and the Japanese star finished first but the US was right behind her.

Women's hockey started, US dominated.

And yeah, we know about the ski jump dingdong inflation scandal.

I identify as a guy whose junk is a 37 foot wind sail. I don't know why the Olympics are oppressing me by not allowing me in the ski jump event.

If we kick everyone's ass, we are all awesome. That's how it should be. All the other countries are sissy winps and stupid. USA! USA! USA!

If we lose, winter sports are dumb and gay, and I don't care. All the other countries are dirty, cheating commie cheaters.

The men's downhill is my favorite Olympic event.

This camera view from behind the skier is awesome. Shows how insanely fast they are going.

Annoyed by hearing the drone during downhill, probably just me. I do love the view it captures.

Hoping one of these last few makes a crazy run. I love a good underdog story. The best US skier in this event will finish outside the top 10. Pretty disappointing.

Drone noise is highly annoying on these freestyle ski runs.

Anyone can ski downhill. The race should go uphill. Not impressed.

Was there anything that happened at the opening ceremony to piss off conservatives? That seems to be a topic every Olympics

Three events and 8/9 medals won by Eurotrash. One bronze for America's Hat. Trump should put 400% tariffs on these countries until they stop skating and skiing so quickly.

Your problem is identifying as a guy. If you identified as a woman whose junk was a 37 foot wind sail they would just give you a gold medal. Maybe even 2 or 3

I don't know if your mom's wind sail is 37 feet, but it certainly flaps in the wind.

Are we the favorite to win women's hockey? I'd assume so. Smoked Finland today. 2-0 so far.

Canada men's hockey favorite?

I was unaware the hockey rink is referred to as a "boy aquarium." That's some new Army sh**, but funny. Does that mean women's hockey is like a cichlid aquarium? heyyoooooo!

Canada favored for the men, probably also slight favorites for the women.

US men's figure skater Ilia Malinin made his olympic debut and finished 2nd in the team skating men's short program despite landing several quads and a backflip. He'd won 14 straight competitions. US still favored for gold in the team skate after finishing first in both ice dance programs and solid finishes elsewhere in the short programs. They lead Japan 44-39.

The three team events remaining are the long form free skates in pairs, men's, and women's. The events start at 1230p CT.

Swiss guy wins men's downhill followed by two Italians.
Norway with a surprise gold in the women's normal hill ski jump, upsetting the Slovenian favorite.
Sweden takes gold and silver in cross country skiing.
Japan takes gold and silver in big air snowboard, China 3rd. US 4th.
Women's 3000m speed skating goes to Italy followed by Norway and Canada. US finished 20th.

No medals so far for the US in five events.

That means winter sports are gay!

But the only "sport" we seem to be good at so far is figure skating, the gayest one of them all.

I don't like what this is implying about our country.

Malinin has been outscored in the short program once during his undefeated run.

If the order of finish is the same as it was in the previous round, Japan will make up all 5 points and tie the US heading into the men's free skate. Malinin's degree of difficulty (7 quadruple jumps) is so insanely high that it would be very difficult to defeat him in the free skate. The Japanese guy would have to be perfect and hope Malinin falls more than once.
