Still doesn’t feel completely real until the opening ceremonies but the first night of full primetime coverage!
Breaking News: Walkie Talkies are trying to compete for Olympic medals now.
General Thoughts
-Russian athletes that win gold will stand on the podium to the Olympic anthem. Will they kinda sing/mumble the words to the Russian anthem and see if it fits? How pissed is Putin though?
Curling
-Update on our new favorite curling sibling duo, Matt & Becca! They lost to Canada earlier today (leaving them at 1-1) and are in the 7th end right now tied 3-3 against Switzerland. It’s getting a little dicey and the good shots aren’t flowing as freely. Fingers crossed they pull this one out.
-They didn’t. Not a good 8th end and we are down 2-1 as the favorited swiss team remains unbeaten. Tomorrow’s a new day.
Team Figure Skating
-Tara and Johnny looking a little more mature and subdued. Kinda hope they are just warming up for some legit antics later in the games.
-If you are wondering what Nathan Chen was dressed as when he predicted these games, it was Peter and the Wolf. I was thinking Gaston but I guess that works.
-Alright, not a good start for Nathan Chen or USA’s team competition. I’m hoping he can shake it off for his next skate and the rest of the team can also not let this set the mood for the rest of the competition. His music choice was my favorite so far at least…
-Russian guy looks like he is about to go black swan all over this competition. Nope, doing a little more Natalie Portman while she was pulling out her nails.
–Alexa and Chris putting in some great work for the USA as the pairs skaters for the team competition (yeah yeah 69.75). Minus that one weird little trip. We all do it.
-I think someone needs to tell all the skaters to pick music that a middle schooler from 2002 wouldn’t listen to alone in their room after their boy/girlfriend of a week dumped them via written note passed from Becky during homeroom (looking at you Radford and Duhamel, neighbors to the north). Let’s pep it up a bit.

Can we talk about the fact that the advertisements at the bottom of this post are just a photo of a bread load with text below it that reads, “Blood sugar? Why did no one tell you about this?”

I was going to consider upgrading but with great ads like that why would I….
