sandman Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 I stayed indoors this weekend and watched the Olympic coverage and have a question. Do you guys think that events that have judges that decide the result are "real"? I mean, it seems to me that there is something more noble or sportsmanlike in sking and skating faster than your opponents, thatn heve some committee decide who did a triple toe loop that is more pleasing to the eye. In short, should sports be objective or subjective? Quote
GMan Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 You mean you actually watch the events that have a "judge"? GAY!!!! LOL Quote
legend11 Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 First of all, that's pretty messed up Gman calling him gay. Umm, I don't know if you saw, but they have put into place a computerized system of judging more objectively figure skating, but that's just a percentage of the score. The other part of the percentage is judges. This system came into place because of that whole French(haha)/Russian(hahaha) figure skating scandle. Quote

I do see that you know a little more about the situation than most, however...hmmm... Quote

We have to watch the sports that are on. And when you turn on, and the sport is some pot-heads in a half pipe. Well, there's no reason asking if the air is fresh when that all there is to breathe.

[/ QUOTE ] You sure they weren't smoking the "half pipe"??? I did watch the very exciting Nordic Combined event on Saturday afternoon, along with a couple of women's hockey games. And this morning, I treated myself to a very exciting women's curling match between the US and Norway. <ROLLS EYES> Counting the days to March Madness...at least I have bowling's US OPEN to keep me going this week...

sandman Posted February 13, 2006 Author Report Posted February 13, 2006 Curling is where it's at. The men's team defeated Norway for the first time in U.S. Olympic hsitory today (early A.M. our time). We get Finland tonight on tape delay. Quote
bluefieldRocks Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 Curling is awesome... I dont quite understand all the rules yet. But it would be a cool sport to play in my opinion.. Quote
