Post by: vickysue on February 10, 2018, 02:37:43 pm: I like watching most of it, just can't sit all day doing it, otherwise I would not be able to do fusion cash any, or get anything done. So I listen to some of it. But I enjoy the ice skating the most. I just don't know how they do so much on a thing blade of the skate. the one and only time I tried I was so for a week with all of the falls I had, and yet I go all day long on a pair of roller skates. But enjoy watching so much.

I live in the USA, but feel just as great when Canada wins the Gold. They are good neighbors and fellow North Americans as far as I am concerned.

Post by: pstovall on February 23, 2018, 03:13:04 pm: I tend to think I'm not going to enjoy watching the Olympics, but I should know by now that once I start watching I don't want to stop. I've especially enjoyed the ice skating. I can't help but think of all the practice and training that goes into each individual event. The snowboarding with all the flips and turns is unbelievable. Those athletes are fearless!!!

Title: Re: Olympics
Post by: haimsterette on February 26, 2018, 01:56:09 pm: I have not watched any of the Olympics. In fact, I didn't even know it had begun until I happened on one of the major network channels and saw it. This was over a week ago, I suppose. Also definitely not happy they're apparently stationed in a city that murders cats and dogs for food??? :bad: :bad: :bad: People, man... ::)

Post by: dancer139 on February 26, 2018, 02:25:49 pm: I thought it was little boring this boring this year. Don't think NBC covered it like they usually did in the past. The Opening and Closing was pretty tho.
