Like her or not, Johaug is trully just phenomenal athlete, but man, she really need to work on her flagbearing skills :p

 

Diggins what a effort, literally almost died on the track to earn that so deserved silver. Amazing girl.

 

Andersson complete collapse, this will hurt her long time :(

 

Laukli decided to ski a 30 and half km race at the end :lol: was waiting if someone will run the wrong course and there were one at the finish lol

 

Great race also from the french Delphine Claudel.

While US TV viewers didn’t see it (except maybe West Coast).

NBC cut in on their primetime show, I pulled up the stream so I'm not sure if it was West coast only or not.  Got awkward with the rescheduling.  More fodder for traditional sports fans here that the Olympic schedule isn't the nice neat put together puzzle that we're used to with a lot of our sports schedules.  At least we didn't have to stay up late for it!

Peacock was truly the only to watch these Olympics in the US.

It's definitely the future.  Hopefully come Paris 2024, there will be greater awareness and less complaining that people don't know how to find schedules (seriously folks, it's not that hard!)

It was definitely West Coast only.  We got our NBC local (Wash. DC) news at 11:00 to 11:35.  When I finally saw the race on NBC, they were about 1 hr, behind the finish.

Was surprised to read this was the last ever Olympic race for Johaug and she even considers retiring at the end of the season. Without her the Norwegian women have been such a B-tier nation lately. They have been so dominant over the last decade and made women's races rather boring, so I wouldn't mind seeing them fading into the background for a while.

    • I still remember how Demi Moore swept the Razzies for Striptease almost 30 years ago and she won Golden Globes now? The acting industry must be short on talent, scripts or everything else   This being said I don't really watch too many new TV shows these days least of all those Marvel/DC action hero stuff that has taken over in the last decade plus. I know it's a box office gold mine but completely not my taste.
    • Yeah, Anora has been really hard for me to place in my personal rankings. It's a fun and enjoyable film for the most part, but it didn't quite generate the same awe or excitement from me that a few others have this season. Still, I was quite shocked to see Madison lose yesterday because she did a deliver a phenomenal performance in my opinion.    The best actress "race" still feels rather open to me, which adds a bit of suspense to each body's nominations.  
    • Anyone remember that  athlete in a European Champs who was given a false start, then protested and got a re-run?  And then false-started twice.   Was kind of like that. 
    • Justin Trudeau has resigned as party leader and will resign as prime minister of Canada once the Liberal Party choses a new leader. Once a new leader in selected there will likely be elections shortly after.
    • I'm not surprised. Colturi seems to be trending in the right direction (duh) and the rest of the Italian women's team is nowhere except veterans Brignone and Goggia. The Delagos have regressed badly for whatever reason and even Bassino has kinda stalled despite still being in her prime. The shit will soon hit the fan but it's probably to late before the next OG. It would be ridiculous if Albania wins more medals in alpine skiing than Italy
    • The regular season is over. Tennesse Titans get #1 overall pick for the 2025 draft after NE Patriots beat the Buffalo Bills back-ups on the last day.   Mike Evans (Buccaneers) ended his 11th season with 11th mark of 1,000 receiving yards which ties Jerry Rice's all-time record. Bucs needed to run one more play to get him 5 yards he needed instead of kneeling down a game they had won already.   Wild Card Schedule:   My picks: Chargers, Ravens, Bills, Eagles, Commanders, Vikings        
    • Tuesday January 7th, 2025 - Round-Robin Day 2 Schedule (GMT +1)   12:30  Netherlands vs Romania 16:00  Lithuania vs Great Britain 19:30  Croatia vs China
    • Monday January 6th, 2025 - Round-Robin Day 1 Results (GMT +1)   12:30  Lithuania  8 - 2  Netherlands 16:00  Romania  3 - 4  China 19:30  Great Britain  1 - 3  Croatia   Provisional Standing After Day 1:   1.    3 ------------------ 2.   3 3.   3 4.   0 5.   0 ------------------ 6.   0
    • Few observations from the Globes.   Nikki Glaser had a nice opening monologue, but everything afterwards was bad. Plus i don't know what the make-up people did to her face, but i thought i was watching a wax figure.. But she changed 10 dresses showing us more of her cleavage, so that was a plus i guess.    This was probably not only the worst Globes, but probably one of the worst major award ceremonies in structure and writing... Everything was so awful... - None of the presenter skits worked and many were just cringe; - The weird camera angles, that widened around the presenters completely showed the audience not giving any fucks about what they were saying and some hiding their facepalms even. I was specifically watching in the background, since in these award shows we only get the camera in the presenters face against the screen, so this was new, but i was astonished how little the people were paying attention.    - Not showing barely any clips, or even images from the movies / series (sadly this has become a modern tradition to "save time") - The idiotic showing of the nominees. Not only without images from their performances, but them in a small picture on the side, while the screen was a damn Google Map with an arrow on their placement. Like WHO CARES where they sit in the room, show the person on the full screen... Morons.   About the winners:   - Like pretty much all winners on the movie side, with the exception of Emilia Perez, which i don't like at all and don't think it deserves awards.. - Especially happy for The Brutalist and Fernanda Torres;   - Anora was being hyped so much. Watched it, absolutely hated the first half, picked up greatly in the second, but in the end an above average film 7/10 for me. Not getting anything yesterday was a bit surprising if you'd followed the race, but not saying i'm sorry for it. Madison did a great performance, but her stocks are falling for an Oscars win and she will probably settle for only the Nom.   - Ariana Grande does a nice job in fooling people, that she is a good singer (which she is not) and now that she is a good actress (which she is not). Someone is getting screwed if she gets an Oscars Nom..   - Pissed that they didn't have the DeMille and Burnett awards on the main show, because of "time", but we now have the nonsense Box Office and Stand-Up comedy awards.. Everyone would have preferred a tribute to Davis and Ted Danson with a recap of their careers, rather than 30 minutes of useless stuff.   On the TV side it was pretty much as expected. Stoked for Colin Farrell's win.
