This is one of the reason's I'll scan through hours of footage hoping to see something special and it looks like one of those special events, will be womens skating where a 15 year old Russian girl is being proclaimed AT 15!, as a "once in a lifetime skater", AT 15! and is said by the experts, to be the best that ever was AT 15!

She is Kamila Valieva and she is something to see! Doesn't matter the event, I watch the Olympics to see the best and to watch possibly the best that ever was is fun to watch.

Agreed. She's awesome.

US Women's hockey team is kicking the living shit out of everybody they're facing. Game with Canada coming up. We'll see how that pans out.

Fake snow, but good competition.

Looks like NBC is losing their ass with a 7.75 billion dollar investment and viewership down 70% compared to 2018.

Multiple companies like Coca Cola and AirBNB reportedly payed 100 million dollars for the privilege of using the Olympic rings on their advertisement. Now there is a social media backlash telling people to look for those rings and don't buy that product. What a financial disaster this has turned into. Good, couldn't happen to a more corrupt group of people.

Eileen Gu...... WOW! Look her up. She is the American competing for China where her mother was born. Not for me to criticize her choice, I'll leave that to others. I just like looking at her and watching her perform and winning the Gold. Like the Russian figure skater, performing skills that no other female has ever done on their way to Gold. The only two performances I have bothered to watch. Oh, wait, I did watch Makiela Shifflrin fall in her first contest. One of the Hotties of the games.

I watched Shiffrin fall. Damn shame. Watched the US girl win silver in the moguls. I won’t tune in again until the mens downhill. BTW, it looks like the snow there is man made. Just like Covid 19. Those Chinese are resourceful.

Well damn, if she is that young, we can’t even talk about her on this Site.

Just remember if you try to show a picture of one of the publicly published young-uns you need to doctor it up or blur them out.

For example:

My understanding ( I'm sure admin will correct me if I'm wrong ) we can not ( rightly ) "sexualize" people that age. To say that we can not mention how great a 15 year old athlete is would be crazy and un-necessary IMHO.

I didn't put up pictures just to make sure because THAT could be construed as sexualizing them. Nothing I said did that.

I went so far as not to put up a picture of GU, the Chinese American, a model, who is 18. If you want to see a picture of here, use the internet and find it.

And for those of you interested but not watching for some reason, Mikaela Shiffarn has fallen again in her 2nd competition, the reigning Gold medalist and who is described as the the best in the world in her sport.

If that butt hits the ice, the endorsements hit the road.

Not likely. The a fore mentioned young figure skater "the best there ever was" according to the experts, fell in her run for Gold. Didn't matter.

Nor will Shifferin's endorsements dry up because of one outing even if it is the Olympics. She has talent that nobody can deny and will continue to be the best female skier in the world if she puts her mind to it.

Just an opinion, yours may be just as valid.

For clarification according to the Guidelines:

#10 - Topics regarding children, and certain images depicting children are not material for an adult-themed board. You must be at least 18 years of age to register and participate here, and along those lines, our subject matter is to surround individuals of the proper age range. Any mention or reference to underage sex is strictly forbidden and may result in loss of your posting privileges.

Certain Images would apply to any photo of an individual that is below the age of 18. The infraction for that would carry the same weight as the discussion of sex with a person under the age of 18.

If in doubt, please don't post a picture.

Thank you for that clarification. So, since I provided no pictures and never mentioned anything that could be construed as "sexual", I violated no rules of this board. Fact.
