Curling is winter king.
All the ski stuff is on old olympic style rules.
The jumpers are used to much, much larger slopes. So they all just went for distance without need for caution, or style. The slope style was so screwed up that some boarders begged off rather than risk their lives. The downhill was like a practice run with some good jumps in it.
The Russian commentators are openly insulting USA competitors. Here's a cuppla statements according to translators. And it goes on continually. "Ohhhh... heres the one with the crooked legs." "Now we must wait till the fat little boy finishes before..."
The Ruskies have gone out of their way to screw this Olympics up. Just goes to show you how effective you can be when you put your heart in it.
