Snowballing problems hurting Vancouver Games

[Guynemer]

Hey, the US is kicking ass so far, so I whole-heartedly approve of the Vancouver Games.

(I'll still be rooting for Canada to take the men's hockey gold, though.)

[Asher]

Why not root for the USA?

Canadaphile.

[Guynemer]

Simple, really.

The entirety of Canada will live or die on the outcome of the men's hockey tournament.

As much as I love hockey, I'm probably less knowledgable and intense about it than the average Canadian. And I'm in the 99th percentile as far as that goes amongst Americans. More people will be happy if Canada wins than if the US wins, bottom line.

The fact that Stevie Y picked the team helps matters as well.

You go to hell, Guy. You go to hell and you die. The US already takes every Stanley Cup and they damn sure should start taking every Olympic gold medal.

So Vancouver's having more epic fails. They bought cheap Olympia ice-cleaning machines instead of Zamboni, and it keeps failing. Nearly postponed the Men's 500m long-track speedskating today.

Don't worry, though. Vancouver pleaded to Calgary for help, and Calgary will save the day.

Well, at least nobody got hurt because of that. These events on the other hand...

Women's downhill training nixed after crash
The women's run was barely underway when American Stacey Cook crashed and had to be airlifted off the hill. She started second after Italy's Luccia Recchia, the only skier to reach the finish line.

Olympic rules say there needs to be at least one training run with all of the skiers in order to proceed with Sunday's super-combined race. Organizers are expected to schedule another training run Friday on Whistler's Franz's Run. http://www.cbc.ca/olympics/alpineski...y.html?ref=rss

And guess what? They have broke the Olympic rules and cancelled the training run. And without the training run guess what happened next?

THE LATEST news from Vancouver Winter Olympics 2010:
The Whistler slopes saw another tragedy happen today, during the Women's Olympic downhill event when Swedish Anja Paerson crashed, sliding headfirst across the finish line. Swiss Dominique Gisin, Daniela Merighetti and Marion Rolland also fell.

The Whistler slopes saw another tragedy happen today, during the Women's Olympic downhill event when Swedish pride Anja Paerson had an ugly crash, even as she slid headfirst across the finish line. Swiss Dominique Gisin, Daniela Merighetti and Marion Rolland also fell, as per recent reports.

Anja Paerson, who holds five Olympic medals to her name, crashed during the final jump, when she got a huge amount of air as she jumped, causing her to shift her weight backwards. As she crashed through the final gate, her body twisted too. Instead of raising her head high as she crossed the finish line, Anja Paerson slid through headfirst and had officials surrounding her quickly.

The final jump saw other skiiers getting injured too. Switzerland skiier Dominique Gisin, Daniela Merighetti and Marion Rolland were also injured, though there are still no updates on injuries that they may have suffered.

Last Friday, the Vancouver Olympics had seen tragedy when Georgian Luger Nodar kumaritashvili suffered a fatal crash during a practice session. His body was taken to his hometown this Monday.

Women had no training run (which is against the Olympic rules) and four of them crushed as a result.

And then Petra Majdic's crush. Damn she was a leader and most of the bookmakers gave her gold, but Canadian engineering strikes again:

A fall into a gulley

A fan of the movies “Boys Don’t Cry” and “Million-dollar Baby,” Majdic showed her own mettle this morning after tumbling straight down into a gulley on the side of the trail and disappearing. She broke both poles and one ski in the crash, which wasn’t the only one of the day on a course that had turned rock-hard with cold temperatures overnight. After two men climbed down to prop her up, she emerged with her hat dangling from her ponytail and her hand gripping her lower back in pain.

Hubac and the rest of her support team wanted to send her to the emergency room, but she – knowing this would probably be her last Olympics – resisted, yelling at them that she wanted to race.

I wonder who was that idot who decided it's cool to have a gulley right next the curve.
Damn, Asher, you had 7 God damn years and billions of $ to make things right (or at least to fill that gulley with sand/to place there a protecting shield or something) and you have failed.
These games is one huge f*ck-up of Canadian engineering and organization skills.
Shame on you. You are killing and injuring people.

Oh Canada

That's a barbarian?

I enlisted, during war, for the Abn Inf; I've grad school across the pond; I'll be a doctor of ecology and my footprint is the smallest on this site.

I'm more evolved than you will ever be, son.


ps. For all you hot chicks out there (haha), I'm 6'1 brown blue and sexy. Pics at CFCOT.



So... who are you, Serb. Do you compare?

Don't call me sir, I worked for a living. I'm 39. My specialities are security, intellect, food and security. One cannot scratch my armor; yours, I presume, is disposable.

So, basically (without all that blah-blah-blah) you are just an eco-friendly c*ck-sucker. Oh, pardon me, gay activist, right?
Good for you. But you know what?

I'm taller.


And six years younger.

So, stfu, if you didn't even get the meaning of my simple question, 'cause I meant - "whose DL are you?".

Serb, please do not insult me. I hate Vancouver. I said from the beginning Vancouver is a terrible place to hold the games, for many reasons.

Calgary hosted the games and did an awesome job. That's Canada at work, there.

Vancouver is filled with idiots, and that's all there is to it.

[Serb]

Vancouver is in Canada, right?

[Ecofarm]

For the record, I never sucked a dick (unless you include clits). NOT that that would be a bad thing, of course. I think sucking dick is fantastic and, really, I'm quite a fan of it.


Anyway... taller and six years younger? And without any real accomplishments - at all... Lame.

[DaShi]

You forgot to switch to Wiglaf.

Thanks for this perfect sig material.

(If I only have a free space for this jewel in my sig).

What was that? A sixth edition of your original post?
Talking about lames.

[Ecofarm]

Thanks for this perfect sig material. (If I only have a free space for this jewel in my sig).

It will go perfect with your avvie.

It should be your title.

[Serb]

My title?
You said that, not me.

p.s. What is "avvie" anyway?
