Winter Olympics Day Two

Liked the cross country pursuit today and the ski jumping. I would like to try jumping someday. Kind of like flying.
I like that NBC is showing sports with no Americans in them.
Ok, so maybe this is the first appearance of a real generation gap for me: half-pipe. At the Olympics. I can’t stop laughing. It’s no different from any other sport I guess, but to hear the names of these moves and the lingo of snowboarding uttered with Olympics drama. I’m sorry, it’s like Olympic skateboarding. “Back to back 10-80s and a front-side 7-20.” Huh? You mean when they spin around?
What will it mean when Americans cease to dominate our goofy, made-up sport of snowboarding half-pipe?

“Podium” is now a verb, as in, “he’ll need a better run than that to podium here.”
