Ladies' Snowboard Cross .... and isn't it noticeable the difference between this one and the first one when those silly men were not even speaking to eachother after the race!

This time it's smiles all round and hugs, and the other girls cheering the winner from their places in 2nd and 3rd on the podium. And then they all three stood on the top space together!

How nice!

The girl who won seemed almost embarassed. How Canadian is that!?

I don’t mean to sound like the party pooper but they’ll be even more insufferable after this. I thought the British girl was really cool in the consolation racethough, she was like, “**** this I can’t be arsed.”

Then why do you keep posting this sh*t?

Take my advise from yesterday.

Forgive me but I thought this is a British expats forum, where one can have divergent opinions about their experiences about being an expat. I find all this jingoism and sycophancy very nauseating, you may not.

Perhaps you do but why feel the need to hammer away at this in everyone else's posts.

It sounds much more like you're deliberately trying to stir up sh*t, and quite frankly it's tiresome.

Wow, second Gold already? Sheesh.

It's as if they live in a country with snow and ice.... who'd have thunk it eh ?

Oink

As opposed to the tiresome nature of being surrounded by a cacophony of the manufactured consent.

Is there an echo in here?

Just saw the races on TSN tonight. The Canadian snowboarder did well but there did seem to be a bit of gloating over the american who fell out.

I didn't notice any gloating, but the American snowboarder has a history of bad luck, here is the 2006 gold medal in the sport.

They certainly seemed to relish being able to report that the poster girl of the USA team had done it again. They even played the 2006 race where she fell at the end using the British commentary because it was more "entertaining".

I never noticed that, here is another clip from a sports show in her own country
