If I was a spectator there, this would be enough to make me go home early. Scary stuff.

To all of you curling fanatics, NBC hired former Olympian John Benton (was the lead on the 2010 Olympic team skipped by John Shuster, Team USA's skip this year) to announce the matches. He's one of the better announcers and you will probably enjoy his take and insight.

Start the opening ceremony already.... I'm sick of reading the Rashad Vaughn thread while waiting.

 

[Gtown25]

I dislike this anticipation for it. its already on tape delay, just show us the show..

 

[aforstate]

It's amazing to me that they built a 40,000 seat venue just for the opening and closing ceremonies. Why not hold some Olympic events in there?

 

[CyArob]

Russia is the worst host ever.

 

[enisthemenace]

This is some weird ****.

 

[cowgirl836]

this is a bit odd, but should have some good music and ballet I would assume.


Oh yeah, there's the sexy uber bass!

 

[MNclone]

Haha, their ring is broken...

Haha, their ring is broken...

Well, whoever was in charge of that will never be seen again.

 

[enisthemenace]

Yeah, that wasn't good.

Come on Russia! First the construction doesn't get done in time and the hotels suck, and now you have technical difficulties during the Opening Ceremonies. haha

I really do wonder what the other choices were. Kabul or somewhere in Nigeria?

 

[cowgirl836]

but this anthem is kick ***. I love their voices!

I want a light up coat

 

[ISUAgronomist]

Well, whoever was in charge of that will never be seen again.

Same as the person in the red coat that went to the wrong spot.
