Winter Olympics 2026

Just watched the American get hosed from getting the Gold in freestyle big air. His last jump significantly longer than the Norwegian who beat him with the same difficulty and execution, yet the Norwegian got a slightly higher score. Unbelievable! (Full disclosure: I have 60 minutes of television viewing knowledge how this sport is judged.)

I just watched too, and thought that doesn't look good medal winning.  The kid from Fairfield looked like a winner.

The Norwegian must have had more $tyle that the judges could see.

Do you feel the judges in general have been anti Team USA?  I saw the replay and agree with your assessment of the situation.

I don't think the judges have been anti-American.  The commentators did say the Norwegian kid did something risky and different and weren't sure how the judges would score it.

Okay.  Perhaps I am biased.

NBC probably could've scrapped the profile when the featured athlete didn't even get top 10 in her event tonight.

I hate to say it, but beating Canada in men's hockey is going to be nearly impossible.  Assuming ww meet each other.  Their roster is absolutely filthy. 

Canada's absolutely filthy roster needed overtime to beat the Czechs today. It would not be a major upset if Team USA beats them ... that's if the Americans can get past Sweden.

Canada still won, all that matters.  Was indecisive as to whether to root for the Czechs to eliminate them or root for Canada because I want the excitement of a possible US matchup. The power play line up of McDavid, McKinnon, Crosby, Maker and Reinhardt is crazy.  Thats four future Hall of Famers. 

Mickaela redeemed herself today, smoking the field for gold in the slalom, good for her.

Jordan Stolz tomorrow at 10:30amET for gold number 3.

Losing Sidney Crosby early in the second period contributed to that.
