Anyone watching? Can Shaun White reach the top one more time? Can Nathan Chen finally win that men's figure skating title? Will there be another gold for the US women's hockey team? I'm also looking forward to seeing my favorite ladies like Mikaela Shiffrin, Mariah Bell, Chloe Kim, etc.

Nathan Chen with a world record short program score while our third US men's figure skater gets taken out by the 'rona. Meanwhile, Red Gerard and Jamie Anderson fall short of repeat medals while Mikaela Shiffrin crashes out of the giant slalom. And yeah, playing with covid masks under hockey masks is wild.

Well, the figure skating team event medal ceremony was just delayed for "legal reasons", with one Russian skater possibly testing positive for doping. Don't those Russkies ever learn?

No medal for Shaun White in his last run, but thanks for the being the GOAT of Olympic snowboarding. Enjoy that retirement, flying tomato man.

And how about that Nathan Chen fella? He's definitely going to be getting some huge endorsement offers now after that gold medal win last night.

Chloe Kim gets the easy win for her second Olympic gold. Also probably going to get some endorsement offers.

Well, Olympics are over. Anyone here besides me actually watch? At least the women's figure skating event avoided a major asterisk. No medals for Mikaela, which was surprising. Shaun White's done, but he made a good career of it. Congrats to Nathan Chen and Chloe Kim as well.

4 years from a real country like Italy
Will watch that 24/7

China sucks- didn’t feel special at all

Elimination Chamber 2026 should be outside in the snow in Italy

Yeah, I watched quite a bit of it. Had it on in the background whilst I was working. Enjoy seeing events and sports I rarely see/watch.

Finland won its first gold medal in ice hockey over Russians. That was good. Propably if hadn't won, the Russkies wouldn't be invading Ukraine just yet, 'cause old Vlad would be celebrating with the team.

Felt like it got zero coverage. No name athletes. I didn’t see 1 minute of it this year. Think it’s time to cancel it.

Lol. Just because you didn't watch any of it doesn't mean it's time to cancel.
