It's fun to make jokes at the expense of strange foreign surnames :P

I remember a faux news headline said by Will Andersen on the Glass house a few years back -

"Pieter Van den Hoogenband downs a van of Hagendaas"

[Je$ter]

Johnny Weir IS figure skating.

Man - Ice Hockey is seriously the most violent sport in the world. That Canada - US match today was full on

 

[Black Philip]

Ice Hockey is orsm. Bit hard to follow at times, messy as well... but still awesome!

Go Aussie Bobsled team! Wooo!

Women's aerials are on now with 3 Aussies in the final. One has crashed out, but one was 2nd after round 1 and the other is currently 1st with 5 people to go. Worth watching if you're near a tv!

Stoopid chinese bitches taking the lead.

 

[schmix]

[Coxy]

[Bannermania]

Also, congratulations Lydia for removing your hard-to-pronounce surname!

Haha. srsly. She's a legend. Well done to her, shes worked the hard yards to get there.

Yep add my congrats to Lydia. I didn't get to see it cause I was at work when the finals were on - but so stoked for her. And now Australia's most successful Winter Olympics. We rock!!!!

That's because finally the rights went to Channel 9..................

Pffft, I really don't think they have done any better job of broadcasting the games than 7. They are basically all pretty crap at it.

Exactly.

The Olympics (Summer and winter) are massive events with so much stuff going on concurrently, and whatever free to air network shows it in Australia is going to HAVE to have a focus on Australian competitors. That's the main criticism...we get all the events Australians are in when some excellent events not involving Australians are ignored.

Lump it. Pay your $50 and get the multi channel Foxtel coverage.

Or better yet, now that each FTA network has multiple channels, have different coverage on two of them.
