Did one of the NBC studio geniuses say this?"For a lot of Chinese athletes, getting silver means 2nd place"
You don't say..

These sports have nothing to do with speed, so aerodynamics is irrelevant. In fact, you'll often see them deliberately slowing themselves down as they get to an obstacle.I have some questions for the more well versed in these sports.
The freestyle skiers wear looser clothing, which as I'm aware is due to the rebellious nature of the sport (I've noticed the North Americans wear very loose clothing, the rest just moderately so). So:
1) Am I right?
2) If so (assuming that wearing more aerodynamic clothing is better), in such a competitive environment that is the Olympics, does it not make more sense to temporarily put tradition aside for the sake of getting ahead?
Apologies if I'm way off and come off as an ignorant prick haha.
Yeah, but surely form fitting clothing interferes less when they're doing their flips and whatnot? Even by the smallest margin?These sports have nothing to do with speed, so aerodynamics is irrelevant. In fact, you'll often see them deliberately slowing themselves down as they get to an obstacle.
BBC commentary sorry. We have our fair share of boffins here too.Did one of the NBC studio geniuses say this?
Out again, give up woman and get back in the kitchen.Either that, or she is a clown?
3 disqualifications and 2 crashes in 5 races over 2 Olympics.
Downhill curling, I'd watch that.
I've seen people get disqualified in 3 races now and I still have no idea why. Their judges could get a job refereeing City games. It seems completely arbitrary what they penalise and what they let go.
