Sochi Olympics

Check out this curling clip: 360 Degree Spin with Takeout at 2011 World Curling Champion - Niklas Edin - YouTube

The move was made famous by Jeff Stoughton: American Curler: The Spin-o-Rama

If you want something more interesting (and less real), check out the Men with Brooms movie: Men with Brooms (2002) - IMDb

I got to watch the men's curling team's opening game today.

Did you see the GB women's rink score that magic seven in a single end today (Tues)? A 'first' for an Olympic competition. :)

My new sporting heroes are the slopestyle competitors. I thought moguls skiers were hardcore, but pulling flips, corkscrews and the like whilst hurtling down an icy hill.... with a plank (or even two!) strapped to your feet? Pure mental. :eek:

Forget curling, let's talk hockey! Wtf happened in the Czech Republic/Latvia match? A goal was awarded (after interminable replay consultation) some five minutes after the event, yet the referees allowed a penalty awarded after the goal to stand??? When I left, due to work, there was a full-on gloves-off fight brewing... and no wonder! :eek:

Oh man... that will get the masses stirring. I haven't seen any hockey yet. My work schedule has put a big crimp in my Olympics so far.
