Sochi 2014

See that slopestyler that smashed her helmet? Split it almost in two. Insane speed and heights there. A really good watch.

Only in the Cellar could posters fall over themselves to lambast the commentators when we've just won our first medal.
I should imagine the Sherman commentators made ours sound like Whispering Ted Lowe.
Well done Jenny Jones.

Let us distinguish between the wonderful performance of JJ in winning the medal and the truly appalling performance of the commentators. Two separate issues. The medal was won by the 'boarder, and well done to her, not the puerile ranting and screaming of a couple of people who seem not to have left the third form behind them.

Let us distinguish which is the most important performance instead.
It's the fucking Winter Olympics, not the Commentating Olympics.
Would you rather she had come last and everyone was suitably subdued?
Lighten up and enjoy her success, rather than focus on some giddy pundit.

That was a really horrible crash, and the rag dolling in the slow motion wasn't pretty either. Anyone's who's boarded will tell you how catching your heel edge like that sending your head snapping backwards into the snow (and the slopestyle course is much closer to ice than snow) can really hurt. Not to mention usually hurting your arse and knocking the wind out of you!
