Pouria Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hey mate it's only dogs ,for the Sydney Olympics the homeless were told to GTF outa town , cannot have them spoiling the view ! IF you think stray dogs are an embarrassment, you haven't seen nothing yet. Thats how water looks like in one of the hotels at Sochi, Russia near the Olympic park. Their whole lack of preparation is embarrassing enough. here is the link: http://www.cbc.ca/newsblogs/yourcommunity/2014/02/sochi-olympics-reporters-tweet-hilarious-gross-hotel-photos.html?cmp=fbtl All the reporters around the world are showing how Sochi is "prepared" for the Olympics.

Tigs Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I honestly can't believe that people are so unwilling to go to Sochi. Hopefully it turns out alright this year though. South Korea 2018 should be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimito Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 There has been lots of contraversy surrounding the slopestyle course , on monday Torstien Horgmo crashed and broke his collarbone practicing on the course , many of the riders are complaining about the steepness of the take-offs and landings on the jumps , Sean White has pulled out of the event, will be interesting to see what happens from here on in. I am really stoked to see that a young Aussie Snowboarder Belle Brockoff is speaking out about Russian treatment of gays and Lesbians. Belles Family has a long association with skiing and Mt. Hotham in Australia one of the runs at Mt.hotham is named after her great grandmother and the hut where i met so many of my friends over the years is named after her great Aunt, i skiied a bit with her mum in the 90s and she was quite a successful ski- racer here in AUS. While i believe that our athletes should be at the games i also believe they should speak out against injustice , i am really happy that a young Australian who has strong ties to my home {resort } has the courage to do this. looks like canadian will be among the favorites to medal. their loss, our gain From Tsn: Max Parrot posted the day's best score, a 97.50 in his second run.

Jaimito Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Are the 3 Dufour-Lapointe girls sisters? Or am I missing something here regarding their names? yes they are. don't know much more than that, but that's an awesome family story when this is all said and done. Hope at least one of them medals. The US lady Hannah beat Jen Heil last time in 2010 for gold, and she is still the favorite. http://www.tsn.ca/olympics/story/?id=443130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pouria Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Dmitry Chernyshenko said 65 heads of state and government and international organizations are expected to attend Russia's first Winter Olympics. He says it's a record for Winter Games and three times the number of leaders who attended the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. A number of top world leaders won't be at the Olympics, however, including:Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.U.S. President Barack Obama.French President Francois Hollande.British Prime Minister David Cameron. As well, neither German Chancellor Angela Merkel nor German President Joachim Gauck, who serves a largely ceremonial role in the German government's structure, is expected to attend the Sochi Olympics. The Games come amid Western criticism of Russia's record on human rights and its law banning gay "propaganda" among minors. http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/sochi-olympic-events-begin-as-security-concerns-grow-1.2525302 Kind of shows how relevant Canada is to the world.

Pouria Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 just politics as usual. all those want to have good relationships with russia go. those that dont care, stay. how predictable. Well, then it seems like Canada doesn't really have that good or strong of a relationship with most countries in the world aside from US, Israel and some European countries. Although since we have Stephen Harper, I kind of understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenbean30 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hoping McMorris can advance to the finals. Surprised he didn't qualify today, he is the favorite to win gold. The broken rib could definitely be affecting him though. Canada has a real good shot to take Gold and Silver in Slopestyle, possibly even a clean sweep.

PlayStation Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 perfect for socialized housing once this is over. I wonder where that $51 billion went....right to the pockets of the corrupt officials. I heard in an interview with I believe John Furlong that there are reports Putin gave contracts to his buddies so the costs may be far from what was actually spent on the games, and what was pocketed.
