One last little thingy- I’m going to be streaming these games over the app, not watching over broadcast, so hopefully I’ll be avoiding a lot of the annoying jingoistic stuff that we see on NBC, etc. I mean stuff like daily / hourly medal counts.
I didn’t mention Vonn; I probably should have. It’s nice to see her again, it’s impressive that she’s out there even after her injury. I thought she handled herself well in her press conference. Wild that her coach is Aksel Lund Svindal! One of the few non-American names I easily place from past Winter Olympics. I mean, non-skating athletes. Like… Bjørndalen, and… yeah, I’m not going to start a list.
Yeah, I’m not watching broadcast; fuck that.
