I don't think the Olympics and the Superbowl should happen at the same time.

What if a parent had a kid in each? You know they're going to the football game and not the cross country skiing. And that makes me sad for that skier I just made up.

Anyone know when the half time show is?
I'll switch over from #Olympics to just watch the show but then back to Olympics.

Holy crap the Japanese pair in figure skating is amazing.

Commentators said they're World Champions.
I can see why.

The first person point-of-view at the start of the luge track is wild.

The drone camera work continues to amaze.

If it was skeleton, would we get a view mostly of the ice surface?

Thousands of Trumpers say they will be watching the Republican half-time show while they eat their nachos and salsa because Bad Bunny and Hispanic culture have no place in Amurikun sports.

Just me marveling at the endurance, strength, and grace during figure skating numbers as I sit on my couch having pizza.

Can I just say that as someone who has watched the Winter Olympics since the 80s, I appreciate the fact we can watch entire ski runs (and not just parts of runs) because of cameras on drones?

Since I only watch skiing and snowboarding pretty much every 4 years, are they the only sports where commentators describe many things as "gnarly"?

Oh, I guess maybe surfing and skateboarding.

one of my favorite things about the winter olympics is when a skier or snowboarder blows my mind with athletic feats of daring that would literally kill regular folks. and then they remove their mask and are ALSO the Most Beautiful Person Alive

Shazam is not coming up with hits for this great instrumental during this dance segment.

Anyone know what song this is?
Or the composer?

Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal?

Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail…

Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you.

Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake.
