Unfortunately NHL players won't be attending.

The 2010 Ice Hockey in Vancouver was awesome.

Of course the 1980 'Miracle On Ice' USA vs USSR didn't require NHL players.

Fantastic race on the 3,000m women's speedskating, with Irene Schouten from the Netherlands winning gold and setting a new Olympic Record 3:56:93 (was 3:57.70 set by Claudia Pechstein from Germany in 2002).

Don't know about you guys, but I get sore knees just from watching Freestyle skiing (moguls).

The curling has been a good watch. Really impressed by the skill in accuracy.
I thinks it’s more entertaining by being mixed doubles. The player dynamics are fun to watch (usually the woman bossing the man around)
Caught some commentary where they said it’s quite common for them to be actual couples. In the case of the Swiss team, exes.

Zoi's dad had obviously had some celebratory drinks as he dropped a couple of f-bombs in a live TV interview. Great stuff!

Just two days into the event organisers are facing a litany of complaints from multiple athletes and countries on multiple fronts

@machpants Not sure I'd be impressed if I was a biathlete and subjected to this for "food".

Must have just ordered a few extra meals and diverted them from the nearest re-education camp

@canefan I've been conditioned by the Hot chicks thread to click on those links and go to instagram pages so was kind of disappointed with these pics. But still, cheers for posting them.

Full time athletes part time fluff. I am sure there are better girls if you trawl the net. Shame RL isn't here to grade their eyebrows
