Olympics 2026- lets go!

What party?

What party?

Taxi Squad
Ladies, Gentlemen, Mux, welcome-- this thread is for you. Are you an Olympic person? Does that annoy your friends and family? But feel compelled to comment all the same, I got you. Live posting hockey games? Yes. Commenting on skating costume design? Yes. Making a cute animal video into an Olympic post-- I'll allow it. Watched a truly Olympic moment --don't feel like crying alone? YEAH!

Aside: All our non-American posters*, feel like trolling about GB's skeleton dominance? do it. Canada's curling revenge for last Olympics? Yeah, guy...blow that up. Sweden's ski team choice of sauna in Milan being sub-par? Sure. Don't be shy, I'm inviting you, formally. =)

*thanks for giving us a chance, personally I would have given up on us as a country long ago, like the day Anthony Bourdain died (no disrespect-heart you tony) the guy knew what was coming(?)...anyway, all good vibes from this oddball. =)

As always, have fun.
 
I'm just here for the international Hockey. Hoping for some fantastic games.

That being said, I've always been a big fan of the olympic games and international competition in general. Downhill, figure skating, curling, speed skating, ski jumping...all fun.

Same, I found curling the same way, maybe Vancouver? It is one of those things that makes me calm (which I clearly crave). Anyway I ended up watching the last goal metal game (USA! USA!) at a sushi bar at lunch in West LA. They had no idea why I was freaking out. lol.


Hey McSorely Fan, is your squad going to bring it this year? Or...should we just go pick up our metals now?

These guys look like what I imagine a "new country" band is, but they're not, they're returning champs.

The Milan crowd cheering on their thirty-five year old Women's Olympic speed skater by singing "Volare" as she laces up. Beats the heavily favored Dutchie for MF gold. On. Home. Ice.

This is the kind of weird that I am living for. Congratulations, Italy.

A disappointing choice of a singer, and uttery disappointing performance.

Other comments on the opening ceremony:
An appalling choice to use AI-created animation.

Here's a screencap of one of its moments:

What the hell?!

Italian team members were very disappointingly dressed. Sure, Armani deserved a tribute, but what was that? They looked like fascists.



Other than that, the opening ceremony was great and fun!


The downhill race was cra-zy. I think one of the skiers went flying 55m (180ft for the stubborn) far on the biggest jump. That's absolutely bonkers.

Yes hockey and anything else is whatever
but Lindsey Von going in the Olympic Downhill tomorrow at 41, six years removed from her last competition. Not quite 2 years removed from a partial titanium knee replacement in her right knee. 9 days removed from a training crash and suffering a full rupture of her left knee's ACL, including a bone bruise and meniscal damage. She hit the weight room like a mad woman to try to compensate for what's missing and did THIS yesterday.
