Eileen Gu, responds so thoughtfully & eloquently... but so QUICKLY, she was legitimately asked by a journalist, “Do you think about your words before you speak?” 🤣
And her response was equally thoughtful.

The closing ceremony of the Winter #Olympics was good, but could have been a lot more, a mini review:

A ★★★½ review of Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Closing Ceremony: Beauty in Action (2026)
Sadly it's becoming the norm to put all the eggs in the Opening ceremony basket, so I wasn't expecting much. While I like it and it was certainly better than the last two closing ceremonies of winter games, I feel it has a lots of wasted potential. The opera fantasy segment was great but I think it fell a bit short, the Roman arena was superb but didn't build much on it, the musical show was fun but not much besides that. Still, I like it, and I think it was a great Olympic Winter Games. See yo…

I like this fantastic overview of the graphic design system for the #LA28 Games. (Too bad *he* might still be POTUS, though.)

The Olympics are ditching PFAS waxes — and the ‘ridiculous’ speed they gave skiers
A key source of speed is gone, as concerns over toxic “forever chemicals” reshape Olympic skiing and the science behind winning on snow.

this is the best photo of the Olympics and so sad that moment doesn't seem to have been broadcast on video.

Those who know me well know that my interest in curling is above average—and so I was very pleased the Norwegian mens team was able to defeat Canada in the final round robin game and clinch third place and a spot in the semi finals.
Which will be tonight—against Canada.

I always get a bit emotional during the national anthems at the #Olympics opening/closing ceremonies because I know my country is light years away of organising something like that for the world.

"'A dangerous trend': Olympic skiers voice concern over receding glaciers"

Olympic skiers say receding glaciers are 'hard to ignore'
Olympic host country Italy has lost more than 200 square kilometres of glacier area since the late 1950s.

Currently watching Women’s #olympics Hockey featuring Canada vs. Switzerland and the rink seems dark. Anyone else notice the same? I wonder if it affects the players? #olympics2026

I'm not convinced 3-3 overtime is a fair way for any hockey game championship to be decided, for any team... but it is what it is.
You play the rules of the game you're in.

Women’s #olympic Skiathlon: an event that I had never heard of before today but have now watched for over an hour. Congratulations Sweden! #olympics

Good Morning #Canada
Back in January my daughter and I set a date to watch the #TorontoSceptres in mid March. It's a good thing we bought tickets early because interest in the Professional Women's Hockey League is surging after the #Olympics. Most of the remaining games in Canada are now sold out, merchandise sales were up over 100% in February, and the league has 5 times the web traffic versus 2025. League management is being cautious but expansion to Europe is now being discussed.
Growing up my daughters were competitive softball players and a lot of their friends played hockey or soccer. At an early age they thought it was bullshit that there were no career options for exceptional women players. Fast forward 20 years and we can now sit in the stands and enjoy professional women's basketball, soccer and hockey. It's not equal to men's sport in pay or prestige yet, but we'll enjoy the progress and cheer for more.

Ski jumpers in the #Olympics may be injecting their penises to make them bigger to get a looser suit, which acts as more of a sail; an extra 2cm for a suit can extend a jump by 5.8m: https://www.

Are ski jumpers enhancing their penises to fly further? WADA is ready to investigate
World sport's anti-doping body has vowed to look into the lurid claims that first surfaced in a German newspaper in January.

Valiant silver. Made of greatness.

Our goalie was so good all game. Kept us in it. That was the only one that looked weak. But USA had the majority of the play through the game. We were so close.
We are so proud of all of you.

The problem with downhill skiing, not usually mentioned by the commentators, is the "bib bias". The best athletes get a random bib from 5-15, which is the sweet spot: surface snow has been scraped, but not broken up, and prior runners have set a line and given critical information about where the bumps are to team mates. So your chance of winning if you are not top 10 is significantly lower. Which seems a bit unfair.

I like this headline better than my own subject line. And it bears repeating, so here it is again.
If this is being done because of liability concerns -- ie. someone might sue -- well, i guess we had better rethink what the purpose of a park actually is.
Yes, natural spaces can be dangerous!
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK and leave nature alone.

Good Morning #Canada
This past weekend we were in Toronto celebrating our granddaughter's 10th birthday (they grow up so fast...) and while consuming homemade cake we were discussing the recently completed #Olympics. The controversy in the #Curling competition came up and my son-in-law mentioned it was like another Broomgate.
I had forgotten about Broomgate which is understandable because I've watched about 8 minutes of curling in my 6 decades on the planet. Broomgate was a technological leap in the sport of curling that came to the attention of non-curlers, 99.9% of the world's population, during the 2015–16 season. New brush head technologies from a new company caused an uproar as sweepers gained far more control over a sliding chunk of granite. Traditionalists cried foul, or whatever they yell after tossing their stones. It resulted in a World Curling Federation summit to regulate and standardize brushes in the sport.
