Let's keep all of our discussions about curling here in this thread. I suppose we could talk about other sports or events, but really, what's the point?

Mexico's Alpine Ski team uniforms: These are boss. On the real topic of conversation, I was watching the U.S.-Switzerland curling match last night where the U.S. was up 4-3 heading to the last end and then lost 9-4. What the heck happened? |

Ugh - missed that like I keep on missing most of the other early curling matches.
Do they show full matches online? I'm always mildly annoyed when the coverage begins in the fourth end or even later.

I was watching the mixed doubles match of US vs. Korea, and they were showing it all the way through. They have it on NBC Sports Chicago here. |

The Russian female skater's short program (in the team event last week) was, I think, the most perfect and gracious performcance I've ever witnessed in ice skating

Adam Rippon killed it in the short program If only he could pass some quadruple jumps He was way better artistically than the Russian who followed him, yet, he is now 10 points behind |

It really was. I feel bad for Nathan Chen though. Hopefully he can rebound in 2022.

Is it just me or has there been hardly any curling on broadcast TV?

Wow wow wow... what achieved 22-year old Czech athlete Ester Ledecka is simply phenomenal. Best moment of the Olympics to date?
A talented snowboarder, she borrowed skis from Shiffrin and, starting at #26 (long after all the favourites), she had the race of her life to win gold at Super G
And now she is about to compete in Snowboard (too)

NBC primetime is way too focused on figure skating and skiing. Also the way they handled Ledecka's victory in the super-G was sloppy as hell.

CNBC seems to have been reliably broadcasting the US team matches, but I seem to recall seeing other teams play each other in 2014 and 2010. Maybe I'm just remembering the medal rounds.
I've missed all but one of the USA women's matches, but I've seen all or parts of four mostly pitiful USA men's matches. I don't why they brought back Shuster to skip again after the poor showing in Sochi.
