munichfan Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 They took the parade music straight from the Mario & Sonic figure skating and rhythmic gymnastic routines from 2012 and 2014 Hong Kong and ROC so far the only ones that received noticeable applause.

Ikarus360 Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 Canadian outfit for this year was horrendous. They went over the board with the red. ROC entering. They pretty much stopped caring about the ban and took it as a token of honor. Really loving this Dvorak New World Symphony arrangement.

Olympic Fan Darcy Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 So they’re still the Russian Olympic Committee. When does that end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshi Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 It'll be refreshing for the Olympics to go to a different part of the world, but I'll miss the game of guess the country from the different East Asian alphabets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krow Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 they're getting lax about ROC. that's basically the flag on their parkas. i guess nobody cares anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard they want to extend it. Its a waste of time seeing how it is of little actual consequence and just made Russians even more uncaring.

Ikarus360 Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 Lone Ranger theme again. Guess the music is going back to loop. Based on the 30 second snippet, seems they will use Ode to Motherland for China's entrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiFreak Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 I say as soon as these games are over in two weeks, BOOM, war! Too much s**t going on. Ukraine, Lithuania, some rift now with India and China, pandemic, etc, etc. Star Trek timeline says WWIII is supposed to be in 2026. Close enough. Oh, and did you know Thomas Bach is an Olympic champion, Fencing, 1976? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They looks like they're wearing sleeping bags. I much preferred Hudson Bay Company's uniforms since 2006. Even Roots was better before then.

They still gained my respect for telling the IOC to piss off. But i'm sad because we could have had Lillehammer 2.0 if they hosted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
