They couldn't have played it better

Quick - someone count how many of them were on the ice

Dog not feeling the stress of overtime

Why don't these people understand that I hate overtime?

Six players go in to celebrate for goodness sake
Czech had too many men on the ice LOL.

Watch it all the way to the end there are 6 players LMFAO

Uber: Do you want to bundle your order with another nearby store to make it more convenient for your driver?

Me: Yes, I do

Uber: Okay, we'll go ahead and send that as a different order with a different driver!

In a couple of weeks I turn 45, and I was so sure I would have some idea of something by now

The way the female skaters seem to go into jumps from standing still is so odd

Shout out Brewer Park oval on the Olympic broadcast

You have to watch things like the team pursuit in speed skating and think 'but why?'

He does have a name: Mikhail Shaidorov
Holy crap, is the sweet Kazakh guy going to win gold?
February 13, 2026 at 10:22 PM
Can I please get a gif of the moment the Kazakh skater realizes he's getting a medal?
February 13, 2026 at 10:04 PM
Oh my god

Holy crap, is the sweet Kazakh guy going to win gold?

I am now cheering for the skater from Kazakhstan, that was so sweet, realizing what he had done

I was watching snowboarding earlier this week, and then I started thinking about how I remember when snowboarding became a thing

Sorry – there was a shouting match at CURLING?

A lovely Toyota Tercel hatchback – at least once we stuffed a Christmas tree in this car and I rode in the trunk.

My Dad drove a yellow Tercel until it died sometime in the mid 90s.

So this figure skater is using a cover of Eleanor Rigby for his program, and they changed the lyrics but just really slightly and it bothers me. They changed 'nobody came' cut out the Father Mackenzie part and stuck in 'no one was saved' which doesn't make any sense

The IOC needs to stop pretending it can avoid 'politics' in the games. Bringing all these nations together is political.

I love the snowboarding commentator not even trying to pretend to be unbiased

Hey Canadian media ... "born as a biological male" is not the move when you're reporting on what happened in Tumbler Ridge.

I am confused by the things this RCMP spokesman won't comment on and the information he is giving out – like the actual address

What I always find fascinating about speed skating is the lactic acid talk of how much pain they must be in
