Did Tonya get found innocent from the "leg breaking" incident in 94? It seems so weird to me with her being one of the commenters. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/5257925/tonya-harding-knew-about-nancy-kerrigan-attack-plot/ I have immense admiration for these athletes that devote so much of their lives to a few minute routine. It irks me a bit when commenters criticize any part of a routine, where the athlete has practiced thousands of hours and lived for this moment. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

The commenters understand and have been through it They both said (Lipinski and Weir) how nervous they were when they 1st stepped on Olympic ice Regardless, they need to call it as they see it Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Ninja Warrior has all kinds of athletes, it's much better than any Olympic event. And there are no judges, either you finish the course in record time or you don't. It's the only sporting event I'll watch. This is awe inspiring, the upper body strength and coordination it takes to make this look so easy when it's actually so difficult. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I'm going to ask you nicely to quit hijacking this thread. Please make a new thread for Ninja Warriors to save me the trouble of splitting this thread. Thank you. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

I thought Luge was insane, then I saw 2-Man Luge. 2 days until Curling! The President is a fink. |

| Dalex64 Member since: Mar 8, 2014 Threads: 3 Posts: 3687 | You like curling, too? I'm upset that the Canadian sports network TSN bought most of the rights to most of the sports in Canada. I only get CBC, and they have ended up with much less sports coverage. For one thing that means less curling on television. CBC still has lots of Olympics coverage, though. It is good to have more viewing choices. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |
