That was fun. Imagine you could just send the same guy up every time in football haha, balls of steel.
It's better when every has to take a bit of responsibility I think but fair play to Oshie, that was pure class.

I've always thought I'd love to see this system happen in a major tournament... but after watching it actually happen... maybe not. Let's stick to penalties

Enjoyed the women's snowboarding this morning, apart from the embarrassing commentary again.
Watched the two-man bobsleigh as well, seriously small margins between the top teams.
Figure skating's on now, the British and Russian girls are quite nice. ![Wub :wub:](./images/smilies/standard/icon_wub.gif)

The BBC are bloody obsessed with the Ice Dancing, I've seen most of these routines at least 3 times now

Most times when I've flicked onto the Olympics it seems to be figure skating.
I have no idea what I'm looking for in it though, the British pair seemed to do a really good routine but got a poor score. It's all impressive to me. Think the US won though.

I like the commentary (I only watched the men, but assume it's the same people). It was nice to have a bit of enthusiasm for a change.

One of the guys is alright, it's the other one. He came out with "this race is like a meat sale at Lidl" - what does that mean? He just sounds like an overly-enthusiastic college kid. I prefer someone a bit more impartial and professional.

Someone said that in the pundit's box the other day - probably the same guy. Something about a half price meat sale.
