Beijing 2022 - lead up and Opening Ceremony

[Apoca]

Less than 5 days to go and dear GOD, I can't wait for [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED].

Anyways, how are we are feeling about this?

 

[Madíson]

As yet still under-excited. Hopefully it will kick in by Friday. Looking forward to Olympics returning to European time zones.

 

[Diddy]

Excited for the opening ceremony, Beijing knows how to SPLASH the CASH

 

[straightorbroken]

I can't believe it's that time alread. Much, much excite here.

 

[Apoca]

But seriously, these Games are [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED].

Looking forward to Beijing Thirst Traps though - what a success that was for Tokyo.

 

[Soldi]

Do we have a thirst trap thread yet?

I watched the curling Oscar Eriksson earlier

 

[Madíson]

Nothing to write home about so far.

Xi looks weak in that coat.

 

[Penelope]

Do we have a thirst trap thread yet?

You have a predictions thread to open first missy

 

[Madíson]

That’s a nice bit of trivia. Liechtenstein are the only country to win a Winter Olympic medal, but not a Summer one.

 

[Diddy]

Just switched on in time to see team GB

Stadium is looking just lovely! Like Arandelle meets Final Fantasy

 

[Madíson]

We have American Horror Story star and celebrity gay Gus Kenworthy in our team for reason. Presumably he wasn’t good enough for the US team?

 

[Madíson]

Oh wow - Gus is short for Augustus

 

[Diddy]

See this makes me annoyed at Japan again. How hard would it have been to put up some nice LEDs, splash some AR all over the place?

 

[Diddy]

I see American Samoa are wheeling out the old greased up hottie

 

[Madíson]

splash some AR all over the place?

BOOOOOOOO

 

[Diddy]

BOOOOOOOO

Ok fine but at least some LCDs a bit nicer like the Chinese have. Not sure how they are doing the floor, is that AR, or projection or what

 

[Diddy]

I hope we get world peace someday, I love international shit like this, but too much drama these days

 

[Madíson]

They IOC banned North Korea from these games because they refused to send a team to Covidy Tokyo That doesn’t seem fair.

 

[straightorbroken]

When is the bobsleigh?

 

[Madíson]

The men in the background get shot if they stop smiling.

 

[Madíson]

Why is it always John Lennon and never a Ringo hit?

 

[Madíson]

Is that it?! Worst flame EVER

 

[Apoca]

HEART-SHAPED HOLE?

Simone AGOG!

 

[Apoca]

But yeah, very drab opening ceremony.

 

[Diddy]

But yeah, very drab opening ceremony.

Drabber than Tokyo?

I only got to see the parade

 

[D5K]

Is that it?! Worst flame EVER

Give me five minutes with a tea light and some tinfoil and I could do something better.

 

[Madíson]

I can’t believe how bad the flame is.

 

[Soldi]

I gave up after half an hour. Bring on Paris 2024 when the ceremony takes place along the Seine

 

[Soldi]

At least the closing ceremony will have either Arisa or Malika Ayane promoting Milan 2026.

 

[Apoca]

They really brought out an Uighur Athlete to light the flame, huh?

 

[win_the_game]

At least the closing ceremony will have either Arisa or Malika Ayane promoting Milan 2026.

Arisa and her cheap pink wig please.

 

[straightorbroken]

So after extensive "research" I am happy to share the news that we get 11 days of bobsleigh starting 10 Feb until 20 Feb.

 

[Apoca]

We also get 10 days of biathlon

STARTING TOMORROW.

 

[win_the_game]

The Men's Luge featuring Chris Mazdzer starts tomorrow if anyone is interested.

Yasss!

By the way ”The Charvatova corner” at Antholtz — was that you?

 

[GNL]

HEART-SHAPED HOLE?

A touching tribute to Courtney Love.

 

[straightorbroken]

Watching the teams figure skating. Breaking news: I've decided all Czech men have the most amazing derrieres.

 

[straightorbroken]

Madonna and Janet megamixes. Keep 'em coming please.

 

[Diddy]

The Men's Luge featuring Chris Mazdzer starts tomorrow if anyone is interested.

He can luge right into my hole

 

[lolly]

The Men's Luge featuring Chris Mazdzer starts tomorrow if anyone is interested.

That Google image search will keep me going nicely, thank you.

I've forgotten the name of that Italian water polo player someone posted in the Summer Olympics thread, but his Instagram throws up a treat every week or two. Let's hope Chris does the same.
