Sucks IMO. There was no way he was going to win it, but now it will always be the people that believe he is the best snowboarder in the world (anyone that doesn't follow snowboarding basically) saying that it was an easy victory for whoever wins it. Canada, Norway and the US all have riders in it that could easily take the gold wether he was there or not.

People's phones and computers are being hacked into as soon as they arrive in Sochi.

I agree. Shaun White is a very good snowboarder but to say he's the best.. I dunno about that. There are so many different competitions that it's hard to say one person is the best snowboarder period. I think he would have quite the competition for this year's slope style at the winter olympics. I do enjoy watching him though so I hope he puts on a good show at the half pipe event.

Rooting for mcmorris, parrot and toutant. Hoping at least one of them will bring home a gold for Canada.

I don't think it's far fetched to say white is the best in the half pipe

I remember leading up to the medal round in Vancouver he was soooo hyped that I was like Hah..ok let's see what he can do

He MURDERED the gold effortlessly. I watched a tonne of events throughout the games and there was no one who locked in a gold as well as he did and lived up to all the hype and more imo

Anyone who has understanding of snowboarding knows he isn't the best, or close to the best snowboarder as he's one dimensional as it gets, but thats the general publics idea. The guy is nothing more than a brand like Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen.

That wasn't the case in Whistler. I bought one of the units in Whistler's Athletes Village. Our Athletes Village was finished well ahead of schedule. My current kitchen are was the common space with a temporary wall turning my "now living room" into a second bedroom. . After the Olympics the temporary wall was taken down, the kitchen cabinets and appliances were installed and everything was re-painted. It's well built and a relative bargain. I couldn't be happier! It's truly an Olympic Legacy. (for me anyways)

Can't wait :megusta:

i was referring to the false creek village

it was done to protect them for resale but so what? the athletes were still barred from making use of things

like i said the sochi rooms look better

For slopestyle I was predicting McMorris, Horgmo and White/Parrot for the top three. With Horgmo out due to his CB injury and White backing out to likely focus on Halfpipe, I see McMorris, Parrot and Toots having good chances all around.

Hoping for a sweep for slopestyles, that be so sick.

mcmorris, parrot and toots been to podium before, is just how they can handle the pressure at Sochi.

Looking forward to it.

2 things hockey players on the road share rooms and some hotels in parts of Europe don't have shower curtains. I was in a $300 a night hotel In Paris France and it had no shower curtain. Had to use my body to block the water.

i didnt realize the games already started.. watching snowboarding on cbcnow

thought i missed the opening ceremonies but those aren't happening until tomorrow

Thank you x 1000.

In all my years of snowboarding, you're the only person who I've heard say this about Shaun White.

At least they're not sorry for what they said about White backing out:

Sooooo true. SW is good, but he's nowhere near the best IMO.

Horgmo and Kotsenburg>SW


Edit: For the record though :( http://www.petethomasoutdoors.com/20...hi-russia.html

Man CBC's streaming app and site SUCKS. CTV's was so much better in 2010. My iPad keeps freezing in the app, the site tells you all kinds of results while you're trying to navigate to the videos you want to watch. Last time I checked I don't want to know who won/qualified before watching the video. Quite disappointing.

So seeing those beds again..and now that St.Louis is goin to the games.
haha

He'll get his rest just fine

wouldn't mind gettin puffed off by a few of these female Canadian athletes

That ones down.

This ones up.
