BOOOOOO, that was so BS =(

How so? I haven't seen Kotsenburgs first run, but Sandbechs 2nd was really amazing, although he had a slight mistake on that first obstacle

I watched for the explosions  but none happened.  Me is dissapoint right now.

See? You get your Olympics thread after all

I'm watching, when I get the chance to. One of my housemates really detests the Olympics so it'll be a challenge.

As a Norwegian the Winter Olympics is always fun. It is pretty fantastic that a nation of 5 million people are almost always in the top 3 in medals

Here's entire Opening for whoever might have missed it:

Haven't found better quality and it's not in English. Pretty darn good all around, not sure if this parade of symbolism (even though dumbed down for foreigner viewers) is crystal clear to anyone, but core idea is plain obvious.

You must've watched a rebroadcast because the opening ceremony happened nearly 24 hours ago.

Here's Putin's answer for you :D

"This's an element of competitive struggle, you have to take it as an ordinary thing... an attempt to "pinch" us here and there. There's always somone who'd like to throw in a fly in the ointment, but these people are short-sighted and doesn't really understand why they're doing it".

By the way, WTF "This service is not currently not available in your area"? So what this video is about?

Since the future belongs to Russia, China and India, I'm getting used to their culture already, so I'm enjoying it.

Despite the ring failing (Or did it fail? The red ring is often said to mean America) the opening ceremony was more interesting than the British one. And I'm sure it will be better than the Brazilian one (because we can't do anything right, obviously).

Yeah, no. China probably, but Russia and India, no.
