The original modern Olympics gave medals for poetry. I'm glad they no longer do.Kath wrote:Are the Olympics a sporting competition or an athletic competition? Ice dancing - not a port, but they are no doubt, athletes. Still boring, though.
Well, there's pairs, who do all the jumps and spins and such, and there's ice dancing, where they just skate around together without doing any of the fancy triple toe loops and such. I find the ice dancing pretty boring; lacking excitement.GrumpyCatFace wrote:
It's not 'dancing', it's just figure skating a crazy hard routine, to music of your choice.
(I realized that I'm actually talking about the "Free Skate" I think, not Ice Dancing. Whatever, they make up their own thing and do it, and it's entertaining.)
The North Koreans tho. Them two were crazy strong.DrYouth wrote:The Canadian Ice Dancers were intense.
Kind of scary intense if you ask me.
It fits the theme of the North Korean's split the peninsula from the Americans then subjugate the ROK slowly but surely doctrine, but actual real world effects? I'd say none, all for domestic consumption in the DPRK.DrYouth wrote:How much do you think the North Koreans are playing these Olympics to their benefit?
Or rather the benefit of the regime.
