Agree, if it is against the rules, it cannot be allowed at the Olys.

As well, how do we know this helmet addition doesn't give him some leg up over others (I doubt it but it is possible when you allow changes in equipment or rule breaks), He was allowed to wear an armband so I think that is a great compromise.

I wish him well in the competition!


As a society, are we placing too much importance on the Olympics?

yes, a non-professional sport should be a second priority over gaining a career;
No, it is a great unifier;
Yes, it causes young people to take unnecessary risk to safety;
No, it raises money for the locals;
I could care less one way or the other;
or
other

 

[Buzz]

NO! It is a great unifier

Should there be a formal review of the ice dance competition results given the outcry re the French and US team placements?

No, let it go;
Yes, too many people concerned, need to clear the air;
or

[Buzz]

What’s the point? Ice Dancing is extremely subjective and have always been controversial. We have these arguments every now and then but nothing ever changes.

Lindsey Vonn’s decision to come back?

AGREE
or
DISAGREE

 

[ilovepaydays]

1) DISAGREE with her staying after that injury - I understand that the crash could have happened to any skier, but that ACL tear was a serious injury. A healthier athlete should have been given a chance to compete in her events. No athlete is guaranteed another four years.

2) About the ice dance - Just let it go, IMHO.

Should the Olympic Team Event stay where it’s been on the schedule?

YES - Keep it as the first competition
or
NO - Move it to _____________
or
Something else

 

[Buzz]

YES - Keep it as the first competition

YES!!!!!
or
MAYBE
or
NOT SURE
or
NO!

 

[Buzz]

NO

The Mama kitty is waaay to quiet and peaceful so should I go over and hassle her?

YES
or
NO

 

[ilovepaydays]

NO, she might decide to start plotting your murder. Then I won’t have someone to do This or That’s with.

So, we’re one week into the Olympics. Your overall thoughts?

YAY: __________

MEH: _________

NAY: __________

 

[Buzz]

YAY! I am loving it! Takes my mind off current events. Except for a certain skater’s crash and burn

So Queen Camilla wrote a letter of support to Gisèle Pelicot. So what do you think of this letter?

Genuine expression of support
OR
PR move

 

[Winnipeg]

Genuine, what happened to that lady was truly egregious and horrific.

Your question above re tooth extraction - fruit smoothie is the answer

Re waking up kitty..........no but you could gently pet her because she is so adorable.
