"We speak of the women’s field hockey team from The Netherlands, the best looking team in the Games. The orange-clad squad won their first match 3-0 against Belgium on Sunday." ;)

Marianne Vos won the olympic street cycling event as well.
With that feat she won all gold medals of importance she could get, World gold medals for field cycling, street cycling and track cycling as well Olympic medals for the same, this one was the last she needed to get them al, and at age 25 she still has a long cycling carriere ahead of her.
Good show of your woman cyclist, close call, Lizzie Armitstead looks to be a promise in the future.

What Olympic sport does Gretchen participate in?

[W1GUH]

Do "Gretchen" and "eye-candy" belong in the same post?

[NA4BH]

What Olympic sport does Gretchen participate in?

I'm thinking the "One Man Whack-off".

[K7SGJ]

Or roller fucking.

It might be easier to do it in reverse: imagine what muscle groups wouldn't be used. To be perfectly honest, none come immediately to mind.

Have you seen how fscking small the bathing suites on the divers are this year? It's almost off putting..

Totally off the topic, but what's with the Subway commercials with the children's voices? Am I missing some joke? Because I don't get it..

I am DISAPPOINTED in the Olympics this year! The outfit designers took great pains to make sure there would be no CAMEL TOES on the girl's outfits! My HIGH DEF TV did no good in the swimming and gymnastics. Maybe the Girls volleyball was better.

Pat, just skip the Olympics altogether and just sit in front of the computer for hours looking at porn...should do the trick, until the fire starts burning again.


(come oooooon, biological clock....)

[NQ6U]

What? There's no porn on the Internet, everyone knows that.

[W1GUH]

Michael Phelps a freak? Well, maybe...but that's completely forgivable because of this (http://sports.espn.go.com/oly/swimming/news/story?id=3876804). We need MORE good people to come out of that particular closet.

You know what floored me, so to speak, last night? I've heard, over the years, all sorts of music being used by the gymnasts for their routine. But I never, ever expected to hear Hava Nagilla at the Olympics!

[N7YA]

I havent sat down and watched one single event.

Its not that i dont like sports or games, i certainly enjoy seeing the competition and dreams come true...but i am sick of drama for the sake of selling advertising. Dont the Olympics simply being the Olympics sell advertising anymore?

I have far more interest in the Winter Olympics. Here's some "candy".

I am really HOT for Lindsey Vonn! She is just ULTRA CUTE (and Married too, alas.... Well, so am I) She SPRAYS on her little skiing outfits. Not even a THONG under those!

[WØTKX]

No, divorced in 2011. She trained as a youngster at the same ski hill I learned to ski at...

I only dabbled with racing, preferred mogul skiing, and teaching regular (non-competitive) skiers.

Not if you're a hotshot AH director at NBC that just HAS to inject his/her ego into the whole thing and splatter graffiti all over the proceedings. I hardly ever watch for the same reason. All that drama has the adverse affect of cutting down how much actual competition we see so that the egomaniacs holding the mics can get their ugly pusses on TV.

Ever known an on-air personality, either radio or TV? Pure, total ego - some of the most unpleasant people there are to try to have a conversation with. I say "try" because THEY totally hog the conversation and WILL stick their noses into your own personal business because, you know, THEY are gods and better than the rest of us. I've learned to steer clear of them.

I haven't kept up with snowboard events, but do they do anything at the Olympics besides that hot dog shit in the half pipe? I'd LOVE to see a snowboard downhill or Super-G...that ever going to happen?

[WØTKX]

It certainly DOES happen. With hard shell boots and really long carving boards. More girrrrrrls in nice suits. ;)

Well....not exactly in a class with the event on skis. Is there something inherent in a board that prevents the kind of "Omigod!!! On the edge action" you see in a downhill or super g? And competing against the clock? The event in the video is over before it begins.

I know several. In fact, many. Some fit that description, but definitely not all.

[K7SGJ]

That was my experience in broadcasting. The light rock FM on air staff was a lot of fun in and away from work. The on air staff on the AM news,sports, talk side was a different story. While the news and sports guys weren't too bad, the talk show hosts were pretty much all asshats. The TV station was different yet. There it was the on air news staff that suffered from terminal fuck you and your horse attitude.

Umm, sorta. The "head to head" action makes for better TV, but not to me. I tried boarding for a while, and even tried the hardshell setup.

I do MUCH better on skis, but I started skiing in '68, and taught full time at Breckenridge for over a decade. Gave up trying to snowboard.

Really like HUGE angles myself, it's a damn thrill to do it. Geeeee Forces! Is it freaking WINTER YET? :hyper:

Here's one of my favorite male skiers. I've had the honor of taking some fun runs with Eric Schlopy in years gone by.

Extreme board carving is cool as hell, but it's not for racing...
I've tried to to this some years ago, did OK, but not this good. ;)

Thanks for clearing that up. I thought it was Have A Tequila. Old man hearing sucks. (There goes the fu(king phone again. I'll bet no one is there, as usual)

Considering that the song title translates to "Let Us Rejoice" it was quite appropriate.

And, no surprise, the gymnast who used the tune, Aly Raisman? Nice Jewish girl from MA.

... while we're watching, Little Miss Field Day looks at me and asks "why is that (song) familiar?" Because organist Vince Lascheid played parts of the chorus to pump up the crowd at Pirates games. He's sadly long gone, but they still play his music.

Well, now you've got me impatient for winter!

I've heard expert skiers who tried riding and were converted. Said it's more fluid than skiing. I might give it a go, but I love skiing so much it'd be hard to pry 'em off of me for a day just to risk wrist injuries. But gotta hand it to 'em for the advantages -- boots are way more comfortable & it's not nearly so cumbersome to carry a snowboard!

C'mon winter.

Meh, when I go boarding, I get fluid, too. Fortunately, it freezes rather quickly.

Get yer butt out here this winter! As far as the ski boots go, I was also a boot fitter and biomechanical alignment guru as well.

My 'effing snug race fit boots are not slippers, but they are pretty comfy.

Yea, that.
Almost like that hot dog shit off the diving board right? Or that hot dog shit in gymnastics?
Next time we'll make our gymnast run the triathlon.
WTF?

[W1GUH]

Not sure I'd survive the 24/7 awesome party that goes on in CO ski resorts! Just kiddin' -- it'd be heaven to ski CO again. Will keep it in mind.

It might be interesting, but it would be slower than the guys on skis.

[K7SGJ]

It might be interesting, but it would be slower than the guys on skis.

Depends on who's doing it. For example, I would fall off of each one, and roll downhill at pretty much the same speed.

[WØTKX]

I lived with a guy that did the speed skiing thing for a few years.
His personal best was 128.something in Les Arcs, France.

The record now is about 156mph. :omg:

Yes, this is faster than a skydiver in freefall going head first.
The science of wax and snow is freaking amazing.


http://www.quickchick.com/_media/371.jpg



Got invited to a practice course in Snowmass years ago. I hit 88 mph. I kept standing up to slow down.

So, call me chicken. :lol: Fun, but freaking scary. I like to turn, and prefer moguls.

Holy shit. That's some kind of speed on skis. I get nervous going that fast in my truck.

[W1GUH]

What kind of trail do they do that kind of speed on? Or is that just the glade skiing record?

[WØTKX]

BTW, that pic is a chick skier... ;)

[K7SGJ]

Why, that's quite easy to tell.

[WØTKX]

Les Arcs France, and Portillo Chile have courses. There are others. There is an uphill "outrun".
The G forces of compression on the transition to the outrun are insane.


http://www.speedski.com/speed/images/LesArcs_France_h400_ds.jpg

Oh, and the speed of a "belly to earth" skydiver is exceeded by speed skiers, but not head first.
Head first hits over 200 mph. Figured I'd better get that in before Corey trolls, errr... corrects me.


:lol:

[W1GUH]

You gonna try that?

[WØTKX]

I'd make big turns at 40-50 mph down it, but the bumps on the side look like a lot more fun.

This is my kind of stoopid, I know these runs quite well... I don't telemark ski, but still...

But did you have your flux capacitor and a lightning bolt ready to go?He did. Problem is finding a good DeLorean to put one in, these days.

[WØTKX]

Well, there was a lot of metal in the 212cm skis I used that day. I used to use those big boards a lot, even in the bumps. Wild.

I like stainless steel skis! These are my current favorites, the "FB" stand for Fat Bastard. :yes:

No worries, man. It just always seemed odd (as opposed to even) that pretty much all the DJs spinning discs were a pretty cool bunch, and never considered themselves as "personalities". They always treated the engineering staff with respect, which was returned. We were a pretty tight bunch. But man, the casters and talk show hosts were really tough to work with. They never seemed to understand, "don't piss off the engineering staff". I can't tell you how many times they treated me and the others like shit, and 10 minutes into their show we had transmitter failures or lost the STL link, or lost the phone lines from a remote broadcast. Bastids just never got it. The eng staff sure had fun. The old paybacks are a bitch comes to mind.

[W3WN]

My experience was that those who came up "through the ranks" were pretty cool. Those who came fresh out of school and appeared to be more style than substance were those that thought their personal by-products were not odiferous.

Probably why I never made it as a DJ when I tried to find a job here, way back when. I'd tell them to their faces that their sh!t stank.

[K7SGJ]

This topic reminds me, I saw a commercial the other day, with Kristi Yamaguchi and her two kids. She in her early 40s and is still cute as a bug. She always seems to be such a happy person. I really enjoyed watching her skate in the Olympics several years back. What talent.
