moguls suck, why anyone would willingly ski down them is a mystery to me.

I saw a woman's ice hockey game wherein Canada beat Slovakia 18-0.

I thought this was the olympics...

Men's moguls may be the only time aerial ski tricks look cool.

That and when Warren Miller gets behind a camera.

Moguls are epic awesome! Learning how to ski them is a pain, but once you do, groomed runs become very very boring.

Warren miller could make sledding down a hill on a piece of cardboard cool.

Moguls with 6+inches of powder on a snowboard is an absolute blast.

Race condition moguls, well, there's nothing fun about that.

I'd have loved to see men's moguls, but as it was broadcast live around 4:00 am local time I kinda fell asleep before it started. Also, with speedskating, NBC has got some retarded interviewer, asking the gold medalist to state what he just did. (Wait for it.)

I was really into mogul skiing for about 12 years, as long as my knees lasted. Watching it for the past two nights made me realize why my knees hurt every day now

Moguls were always a huge challenge, but definitely fun. Those young kids skiing them today will wish they didn't when they are in their 50's.

I thought Canada would have their own Olympic coverage that I could watch, but I have yet to see anything on CBUT. Is it only NBC broadcasting?

I hope they cover the biathalon events. Unfortunately it's like the shooting sports in the summer Olympics. NBC will happily count their medals but never provide any airtime
