Dick Button is still the greatest name in history. How is he still alive?

It's the shoes.

I'm pretty sure I see a black man dressed as a clown in pairs figure skating though I have been drinking.

So I watched the Nordic Combined earlier. Very exciting race won by a Frenchie with an American mom who just slipped by the first American to ever medal in this event, Johnny Spillane. What I never heard was any mention of the other part of what makes this even 'combined,' Ski Jumping. This confuses me.

If I hadn't seen it with mine own eyes...

Yea, the ski jumping...I watched it earlier. I think every point you got ski jumping gave you a 4 second head start. Or something like that.

I see. That's why they were making such a big deal about Demong making up all that ground then. He must have basically fell off the jump.

Yeah, Demong out-skiied the world by a significant margin just to get that close. The last 2.5km was pretty cool.

this probably should be in WTF thread.

Ditto. The ending was awesome. I'm not sure who the color annoucer was, but he went apeshart when the skiers were coming down the stretch. Never thought I'd like Nordic but it was pretty exciting.
