And you'll be gay.        

Those Dufour-Lapointe sisters are pretty sweet looking.   Plus that Indian guy on the Luge is a freak.

what a sick shot by Benard
That was damn sweet.What is with Olympic curling? Seems like all the games are always super-close. I would've thought Canadians had a bigger advantage than we typically show.Bet underdogs?

Yeah underdogs are doing very well so far @ the Olympics. Canada has the better skip, but their leads and seconds are not playing well @ all, and if they don't play well, it doesn't set up the end very well at all.

I don't just mean these olympics, seems like it's always close.Advanced curling strategy is so f'ing hardcore. I don't even try to think about it, I just wait for the announcers to tell me if it was a good shot or not :club:

It's just that its extremely difficult to score multiple points, so thats why the games are always close.

She kicked it!? I've never seen that happen in this level of curling before.WOWfor anyone not watching:It's tied in the 10th, Canada has the hammer. Swiss have a pretty good set-up, and Canada's final shot for the win is setting up to be pretty tough. Canada makes a fantastic shot, taking out all of the Swiss stones, setting up a very likely win. But wait! It hit the Canadian skip on its way out. That gives the Swiss the option of putting the rock where they thought it'd go, or just leave it there. Leaving it there would've been a very good spot for the Swiss, but they immediately and without discussion moved it way back, into a disadvantageous position for them.I realize its the sportsmanlike thing to do, and anything else would be pretty bad. Still though, to do it without discussion was pretty nice, especially since it severely hurt their position.

Curling is one of the most honourable sports, I pretty much guarantee 99/100 teams would have done the same.
