Capture Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Has anyone seen the opening ceremony? Quote
chesilbeach Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Didn't see the opening ceremony, but I am watching the ski jumping now. Awesome Quote
Fi. Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 I sat up last night and watched it at 1.45am, was a great opening ceremony but it must have been awful when that 4th torch didn't come up! Loved the ski jumping, patiently waiting the next event now Quote
Peacefield Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 I watched the last half of the opening ceremonies when I got home last night and it was great as usual . I felt bad too when they had that technical difficulty, Fi! I'm looking forward to watching figure skating and Shawn White (aka the Flying Tomato) and his snowboarding . Quote
Raven Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 I sat up last night and watched it at 1.45am, was a great opening ceremony but it must have been awful when that 4th torch didn't come up! I felt bad too when they had that technical difficulty, Fi! I caught the highlights yesterday morning on the BBC and just laughed when that happened! (hey, that's just the way I'm built, sorry!). I'm dreading the 2012 opening, just how lame are we going to be? Quote
Fi. Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 We'll be super lame, which is why I'll be out of the country having perfected a different accent Quote
Peacefield Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Woo-hoo for Apolo Ohno!! He had a great night tonight in the first heat of the short track . Quote
Inver Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Looking forward to the curling....go the Scots (well have to shout that since the teams are full of them:mrgreen:) Quote
Ben Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Been watching most of the Winter Olympics so far, it's fantastic. I particularly enjoy the ice hockey, snowboarding, the curling.. in fact, I enjoy it all. Been rooting for Canada so far, as I like to see the home team win some medals. Quote
Inver Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 A few close calls for the curlers in their games, but managing to stay on top of it. My niece played in a pipe band with the woman's skip, Eve Muirhead so we are cheering them on. Quote
Peacefield Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 I was so excited to see Shawn White and Lindsey Vonn win golds on Wednesday, woo! Also that our guy won gold in the men's free skate last night . I'm looking forward to watching short track speed skating this weekend too, and go USA men's hockey! Quote
Ophelia Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 I tuned in in the early hours today and watched the ladies' snowboarding final (which was won by an Aussie). Then caught some of the men's figure skating. I know these Games have come in for a bit of criticism but I'm really enjoying them! Quote
Peacefield Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Woo-hoo USA just scored a goal in the first 21 seconds of the hockey game against Canada!! Quote
Peacefield Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Oh no a penalty, Cali!! And is that the guy you know who got the sticking call? For shame . Quote
AbielleRose Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Yup, Joe Pavelski. His mom is going to be all over him on that one! What a game so far! Already 2-1 USA! Quote
Peacefield Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 He better watch out! Yep and it's not even the end of the first period yet, wow! I'm switching back and forth to the BAFTA's - it's too nerve wracking! Quote
AbielleRose Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 What are the BAFTA's? Can you imagine the atmosphere in that arena right now? All of those guys are the best in the NHL. They are NOT holding back either. Quote
Peacefield Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Nope, not holding back at all. I'm looking forward to a fight or two! BAFTA's = British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards. Our Oscar's basically. Quote
AbielleRose Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 There was almost one at the end of the first period there. I wonder if they banned throwing octopus' I've been waiting for one or two of those to be flying onto the ice. Ahh! I see! Quote
Peacefield Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Ryan Miller is the man! USA is up 3-2 and the third period just started . Woo! Quote
AbielleRose Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 We're 4-2 now with 12 min left to go in the 3rd! What a game! Quote
Peacefield Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 I know just as I posted Cali we got another goal, woo! Not wanting to jinx anything, but what happens if the score stays 4-2 if you know what I mean?? Quote
AbielleRose Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 I think Canada will wage war! Did you see Pavelski shoot the puck at Canada's goalie and hit him in the mask? Damn! Quote
Peacefield Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 No I missed that shot, wow! Okay I just looked at the schedule and if the score stays the same there'll be more games to follow and the gold medal game isn't until the 28th. That schedule is too confusing to figure out though as far as how many games are left to play, sheesh! Quote
