Non-Hockey 2026 Olympic thread

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

So I mentioned Netherlands speed skater Jutta Leerdum yesterday.

She was in the news recently for having her drivers license revoked…..apparently all she can do is make left hand turns.

They're in trouble.

Don't know your mixed team Per but are Anna Hasselborg and Niklas Edin leading your 4's?
Yup. Edin defending the gold from 2022 and Hasselborg hoping to repeat their victory from 2018.
In the mixed it’s a brother and sister, Wranås. They’re in 4th place right now and Canada in 5th.
The four best teams go on to the semifinals after the roundrobin, so the Sweden vs Canada game could be decisive.

Yeah Per...Edin has probably been the best male curler in the world over the last say 15 years.

Canadian Brad Gushue is close but Edin has had his number more often than not.

The guy is an amazing curler and strategist.

His list of accomplishments is astounding.

And he's only 40.

Oskar Eriksson and Gushues 3rd Mark Nichols likely the top 2 3rds as well.

A great team is Edins....

Did you see the spin shot Edin did at the world championships two years ago?

I appreciate the fit girls, but I still hate the Olympics. :roll:

I do feel sorry for Lindsey Vonn, but choosing to participate in the Olympic downhill race with a torn ACL was pretty stupid.
