Not going to lie, I didn’t watch anything from last night because I was too busy winning gold of my own!!
After a disappointing silver medal finish in the Rio Olympics, team Netherlands came back strong for a gold medal performance in PyeongChang (aka second floor of The Point). For the prelims we excelled in the rubber ducky hockey challenge but not in the Olympic Rings ring toss. And by sheer luck we were able to tie for first in the Ice Ice Trivia (who the F* knows what channel Vanilla Ice’s reality show was on or his first daughter’s name? I wasn’t even sure he was still around). But in the gold medal final of curling with fans it took a few turns but we were able to figure out our sweeping technique and bring home the gold. Damn, does it feel good.
But Instagram told me this morning that many US athletes walked away yesterday with the same feelings….so here are some reactions:
Mikaela Shiffrin not medaling
Adam Rippoon in general
Nathan Chen not having a great Olympics
Men’s Hockey getting a win
John Daly not finishing top 10 in the Skeleton
Shirtless Tongan not finishing last in his event!
That’s all I got right now…I’ll be back up and running either tonight or tomorrow morning.
