Buddhas Hand Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 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. Heard Anna Segal talking about the course and riders this arvo , she said that White was not riding well and that he is the type of person that is only in it to win , thats the reason he pulled out it was not the state of the course rather the state of his riding.

-DLC- Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 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. Stray dogs are an outrage to me moreso than an embarrassment, at least how they're dealing with them. Many are abandoned pets...should maybe look at that and go after those who view pets as disposable and you wouldn't be in this predicament. So many things there...

I'm pretty sure the stray dogs across Russia are many generations removed from being anyone's pets. In other news... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayStation Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 They couldn't even get all of the rings lit properly :picard: Remember us and our torch pillar that didn't rise? Haha. But then again, another thing to show how much of a joke the Russian games have been so far. Anyways how are the ceremony's so far? I got it going on my pvr for later.

Pouria Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 They couldn't even get all of the rings lit properly :picard: Like Vancouver's opening ceremony went perfect without a hitch :picard: Please, at least this time the Calderon was lit up without any technical difficulties.

The ceremony was great aside from that snow flake not opening. They had a long fireworks at the end. I think in terms of artistry and entertainment, it beats Vancouver's opening ceremony. I found that Vancouver's opening ceremony in some parts did not make sense or it was too simple in terms of imagery compared to Sochi opening ceremony which was more intricate and more visually stunning. They certainly showed their strength when it came to ballet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, Vancouver looked like it was searching for something that wasn't there. The opening was good no question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobble Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Why wasn't Harper there? Because of political reasons or safety reasons? Because if it were the latter, I think it says the wrong image when your PM doesn't go yet young Canadian athletes head over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stray dog thing is sort of disgusting, but its not a problem that just exists Russia. My friend grew up on a farm north of Calgary, and he said they would always random stray dogs showing up, harrassing their dogs and eating their food. Left them little choice but to kill them. Sounds bad but is just the reality of things; it sort bugs me how some people(not you necessarily) are on their high horse judging the Russians for this, when the same thing is happening around their home as well but just on smaller scale. Sounds like Canada is starting out good, keep the updates coming for us stuck at work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
