What Did You Like About The Olympics?

[DougGuy]

I welcomed the olympics this time, I stayed glued to the tele in the evenings. Less politics less BS. The improvements in technology for one was astounding! The control room(s) used by NBC were some NASA looking stuff, but the resolution and dynamics they showed us on our screens was worth all the work. Drone views were right there with the athletes, you couldn't get any closer to them as they competed.

For the first time, they showed (at least to American audiences) the athletes' families and friends at home, and at bars all gathered round cheering them on, that was very cool.

And the courses that the Chinese built were all masterfully done, they were as perfect as I have ever seen, I have to give credit where credit is due.

My favorites were the snowboard cross, and the pairs skating. Those skaters work for YEARS to hone their routines and their moves, and it showed.

The only negative comment I would have would be for NBC's choice of commentators in the studio, Tara Lipinski was good but the fruitcake he/she/it whatever it is Johnny Weir I could do without. I am sure the bite me administration is probably eyeing up a spot it could fill.

Mostly that they are over or soon will be.

[M-Tecs]

Didn't watch and was barely aware they were on.

Perhaps it was the majestic view of the old steel mill which was right next to the ski jump. It just proves that there’s no hiding the splendor of Communism. You can clean it up and toss big bucks around ( ask Hunter) but in the end it’s just like putting a spit shine on a . Beyond that🥱 not a thing.

The Olymics were on? Who knew? I put a new differential, drive shaft, front brakes, and changed the tranny fluid on the daughters Escape. (junk). Gas checked 300 .30 cal Lees, and loaded 200 30-06's. Changed a front crank seal on the Mustang, and just got done buffing some rain-x on Fastlady's Speed6 windshield. She just now pulled a home made chicken pot pie out of the oven.
When I asked her what's on TV, she said "dust"

I really enjoyed the "single bob". My wife is a connoisseur of fine skating, so enjoyed watching that with her.

I only heard one thing about the olympics. Russian skaters can compete with body enhancing drugs in their system but american runners can't compete with pot in their system. I didn't watch any of it.

I did get an Arisaka drilled and tapped for a scope base and glass bedded the action.

[Thundarstick]

Mostly figure skating, and watching how the Russian skaters temper tantrum about who won gold and who won silver while the Japanese skater was joyous she was on the podium with bronze! That Russian coach! She's colder than the ice those poor girls where skating on!

[Land Owner]

I have watched a snippit or two of "athletic propaganda" as taped video and then changed genre immediately to something in which I was truly interested. Olympics - yawn...

[762 shooter]

Nuttin' honey.

762

[barnabus]

[Shopdog]

Couldn't get past China's complete disregard for human decency..... so;

Closing ceremony.
