I missed taping the afternoon show, so this will be an abbreviated post.
- Tina Maze, co-winner of the gold in Downhill Skiing, is the #1 celebrity in her home country of Slovenia. She’s a pop star and model—imagine Beyonce was also a QISE gold medalist.
- Lauer in the anchor chair at the Fortress yet again—Costas, where art thou?
- With bright colors and skin tight design, speed skating uniforms are more like futuristic superhero costumes
- I have been very disappointed in the Peacock’s graphics package—it’s basically the same stuff from the last two or three games. Step it up, NBC!
- If you think Luge is too boring, try Skeleton—riding on your stomach, face first. The races are so fast, the commentators barely have time to go over each athlete’s backstory.
- “Slopestyle”? C’mon, International QISE Committee--just rename the entire event the X-QISE and be done with it.
More to come.
