This Olympics has been a disaster. [expletive], the ice was melting at the speed skating track.

That was crazy; Shani Davis withdrew. How does a city like Vancouver [expletive] up indoor ice? They have an NHL team and have been planning for this event for years. You haven't hammered out how to get smooth ice by now?stlouie_lipp wrote:This Olympics has been a disaster. [expletive], the ice was melting at the speed skating track.

Re: 2010 Olympic Thread
upward of $1 Billion for Olympic games security.
All this money for security and pagaentry - it sort of takes the fun out of simple somewhat trivial competitions.
Its ever more apparant Chicago should be thankful as [expletive] they lost the Olympic bid. I'd go further to hope that the US should not take on the Olympic games for the foreseeable future. Until the Olympics reform themselves, just let sucker countries, and regimes that can afford a propaganda campaign shoulder it.

U.S curling looked really shaky against Germany. Couldn't get a feel for the weight at all.
