The Olympics!

Angrist · 02-10-2002, 09:22 AM

I'm amazed that nobody has made a topic about this yet! I mean, it's in America this time so I thought you guys would care...

Anyway, we got our first gold medal!

Our Jochem Uytdehaage was faster than your American guy and the German.

Damn thats an ugly uniform, but not as ugly as the Canadians'! lol. I have been watching the Olympics, womans snowboarding is on now. I just can't wait until the hockey starts. GO TEAM CANADA!!!

Here in Canada, I speak for almost everyone when I say nothing matters but hockey.

The_Dunadan · 02-10-2002, 05:07 PM

Perfect Stu · 02-10-2002, 05:30 PM

Perfect Stu · 02-10-2002, 05:32 PM

that person in the picture looks like a chick...

but I'm not quite sure

Joeiss · 02-10-2002, 07:17 PM

YEYE... Bronze in skating. Good job Canada.

Damn, 5000 meters!!! That is alot. Those people have got to be dead tired after their races.

The guys doing the downhill are insane. There's no reason to ever go that fast!

Thats what the Downhill is about...going fast...but, anyways, the Downhill is probably my Favorite event, I also Like Bobsled.

Renate Groenewold won a silver medal on the 3000 meters.
And that guy in the picture is a guy... it's just a bad pic!

Hey, your Americans sure made us laugh yesterday!! The ex ice-hockeyer sure was funny!

And Kip Carpenter's first name means chicken here!

(but he did ride a good time, better than our guys) But there's another chance for them today.

Oh yeah, that Wotherspoon or something fel.

Don't laugh at Jeremy Witherspoon Angrist!

*hits Angrist over the head with a skate*

He was our best chance in speedskating

. Well there's some other guy that placed fairly well I think but he probably won't win a medal

.

Angrist · 02-12-2002, 10:59 AM

Round 2 begins in 3 or 4 hours, they all get another chance.

Angrist · 02-12-2002, 03:37 PM

I was wrong. I thought they just got two chance to ride the best time. But they're riding for an average.... too bad for Witherspoon... (

)
Perhaps the Dutch Van Velden has a chance...

Angrist · 02-12-2002, 05:05 PM

BLAST!!!

It's a nightmare scenario: Van Velden always was placed 4th, often only hundreds of seconds away from a medal, and today it happened again.

Turambar... (the Dunadan will know what that means)

Those American bast... I mean guys really were lucky...

Oh well, the 1000 meters is more 'our' distance.

Joeiss · 02-12-2002, 07:57 PM

Damn Wetherspoon, I cut out the picture from the paper. He looks like his heart was literally snapped in half... Arms outstretched while he was on the floor... Such a shame.

But he is VERY good in the 1000m race, so he better win that! Or else.
