There's something about the look in Patrick Chan's eyes every time I see him that's a bit creepy.

So is it team events instead of individual events for this Olympics?

Is this a new cover of Wonderwall or is this the one that some guy did back in the 90's? Also, I'm enjoying these falls.

Nevermind, I was thinking of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGn-aeBMQR0

Hey, the Olympics are about making money. If their bread and butter is from western tv viewers then they should just build smaller venues when hosted in the east :P

Edit: wow more falls! This is like nascar where you're really just watching for the crashes.

Man Israel's killing it, why the gently caress didn't we get to see Bychenko earlier NBC???
