Re: 2010 Olympic Thread
Was Team Ski Jumping the most exciting event of the day today? I'd take anything over watching what looks like the same jump over and over again.

Ski jump rules. That's the event that got me onto the Winter Olympics when I was a kid. Plus, It's what the agony of defeat guy did.

I haven't watched that much either. Maybe it's just me wanting to see more of her.

Not a fan of the blue spraypaint demarcating the ski run. Necessary?

They do it for visibility in ski jumping. halfpipe, moguls, and aerials... I would assume it's the same for alpine skiiers. Helps you see the turns in flat light.lukethedrifter wrote:Not a fan of the blue spraypaint demarcating the ski run. Necessary?

Oh, I know. The blue just looks cheaper than the snow fences and hay bales of yore.JackofDiamonds wrote:They do it for visibility in ski jumping. halfpipe, moguls, and aerials...

It's not so much the marking of a boundary, but the delineation of slopes and bumps. The lines perpendicular to the run are more important than the lines bordering the run.

Stenmark and Klammer did not have this. Besides, it's ugly.
