Waiting for the Stanley Cup to see USA btfo
>>153629169Watch 3 movies and 5-10 episodes of some series. Every single day. Until i kms
>>153629339Canada hasn't won one of those since '93I wasn't even alive back then and I'm almost 30 lmao
>>153629169Don't know. The next week is gonna suck as I get used to it not being on.
I'm so fed up with all the fake governments and fake media pretending their on our side. Watching an athlete just give it all without huge financial compensation is a relief from this doomed world
World cup to resume for a few weeks and then hibernate to next november
>>153629442+endorsement deals+lots of bragging rights and pussy
>>153629783If you are the best in the world in any other field you easily earn more
>next event will be in the middle of the summerthats the worst
Tennis
>>153629248Maybe kys
Extremely based thread. Four years is too long. Should be every two years. Going to take a week getting used to not watching and following.
This Winter Olympics ending, combined with the Sunday night fear (I’m back at work tomorrow for the first time since 13 Feb) is killing me
These were the best Olympics since Vancouver 2010, which I was also on /sp/ for. I hope we are all still alive in four years to share the next one together.
>>153630545Winter games > summer games.
nothing to be happy about in these olympics
>>153630623Vancouver 2010 was horrible. Canada cheated by refusing to let the international community train on the tracks and courses so Canada could have the advantage. They won a shitload of medals doing that while sending fuckloads of athletes home with concussions and broken bones, and one athlete home in a body bag.
>>153630412It's just not the same. Winter sports are just so much more comfy.
I loved these Olympics. Especially after the rotten NFL and MLB season that made me question my life choices. I am planning to cut back on the amount of sports (especially MLB) I consume going forward but these Olympics gave me a lot of joy and I really enjoyed shitposting about it on here. I also enjoyed how it was over by 5pm every night so it really did force me to try to start changing my life up and how I spend my time. So I will keep doing that forward.
>>153630781This is a nice post.What are you going to change exactly? No shitposting wasting your time on here after 5pm?Good luck friend.
Wish it was every 2 years. Too bad that's likely not financially viable.
>>153630857Thanks. Starting a few years ago, I started watching baseball almost every night, as a coping mechanism for shit happening in my life... and it just became routine. So I would just sit there and watch baseball or other sports (and drink). I realized I don't want to do that anymore so I am putting a stop to it. Basically forcing myself to do other things at night, instead of falling into the comfortable routine that wasn't helping me as much.
>>153630781I came to a similar conclusion, not so much about time though. I’m cutting out NFL entirely (as a Chiefs fan that’s no light decision!) and keeping up with winter sports instead. So hockey, skeleton when the season starts again, figure skating.
These olympics were great.... for winter Olympics. However, the 100m dash is the pinnacle Olympics event and no other game comes close. Usain Bolt's 9.63 in London is the the greatest Olympics moment of all time. In short, you wait 2 years for the "true" Olympics
>>153631177>running in a straight line for 10 seconds is the greatest Olympics moment of all timeyou are brown
>>153631013I don’t drink but I sometimes worry that I basically spend a good chunk of my life watching sport and shitposting on hereI’ve started doing 5Ks twice a week to try and break up this habitWhat other evening activities do you recommend?
>>153631269we all have to decide what our limit is i dusted off my guitar, started to program again, read, playing pickleball, nothing too exotic
>>153631177>ten blacks racing in a parking lot in they Jordans is the peak of the Olympic tradition stretching back to AlexanderKek
the worst part of binge watching the Olympics these past few weeks is the cold shower upon returning to reality (in America) and realizing everyone is fucking fat and ugly
>>153629192>soulless Yank world cup with 50 zillion jobber teamsNo thanks, even Qatar was less of a joke than this one. Gonna watch Engerlund games plus any in Mexico and Canada
>>153631249>>153631346Sounds like you'd rather watch "sports" and "events" subjectively scored by other people. Just watch the 800m or mile if your can't stand to watch browns win. Track and field, and specifically track, is the only true test of human species and it's limits. Running is mapped in our genes from the dawn of man and are the true olympic events.
>>153629224This is so grim. In 2008 we had Shawn Johnson as our QT 3.14And RE: post Olympic depression, we’re all going through it. just sleep. Don’t go on a drinking bender unless you’re already on one this morning for the hockey game, order some Waffle House on DoorDash (yes they’re on there now) sip your beers and get to bed early tonight. 2 more years will come up faster than you think. And the World Cup is generally really fun as well.
>>153631269How did you get into 5ks? You have a local group that does it and then goes to a pub? That’s a thing here in the states but the people are usually so cringey at least in Florida
I wish I could put myself into some kind of cryogenic sleep and only wake up for olympics every 2 years, be awake for 2 weeks and then go back to sleep for next 2 years and so one and only live through olympics. I dont enjoy any other period of time at all except for these events.
I miss her already
>>153631348Lmao you gotta try harder
>>153629169FOOTBALL
>>153631752i am going to try to get into non-"commercial" sports, I mean yeah, they're all "commercial" but I mean more curling, skeleton, etc - worlds, that sort of stuff and less NFL, MLB, NHL.... only issue is I have NO idea what the seasons are and what channels they're on or where to find them when they are on.
>>153631673>2 more years will come up faster than you think.I just don't care about summer sports. Only exception is the Tour de France, but that has not been the same ever since our all-knowing commentator retired and died.
>>153631752Based, my life also lowkey revolves around the Olympics. I’m still productive and getting after it, but I literally measure time by Olympics and feel like I’m coming into my season of power when the Olympics approach
>>153629169only 10 days left until wbc tho
>>153631952why are you guys infatuated with baseball?
>>153629169Both the winter and summer olympics have become soulless commercial enterprises, have been for the better part of 2 decades now. That is the actual depressing part.
What other winter sport kino should i watch now?
>>153632088>cool runnings>kinoIs it really? Is it not just jewish hollywood comedyslop?
>>153631846Yeah I agree the Winter Olympics are much better and more comfy. I did some work at a rowing park though and got to meet the Swiss Time dudes and see the different World Championship teams (which are usually the Olympic teams as well) so I like rowing. If you can find a couple good sports the summer games are fun too
So how have the olympics inspired you to better your life anon?
>>153632129yes whats you just described is the definition of kino
gonna cut down my drinking and try be somewhat more productive so i don't hate myself so much anymore, maybe
>>153632305I'm am going to try and create one of these hapa athlete girls.
>>153632305I gotta lock in
>>153632305Idk, it's both inspiring and their raw passion makes me want to live my life to the fullest and to try new things, but I also feel immense regret for wasting my life up until now doing nothing but playing vidya and having zero cool hobbies/skills/talents.I'm not envious of the athletes- I'm really happy for each and every one of them, but it also makes me sad I'll never be in their shoes and living it up like they are if that makes any sense.
Is the closing ceremony stream already done? It felt kinda short and uneventful compared to the opening ceremony and Paris 2024's closing
>>153629169UFL in a month and work on our vidya backlog for a month before that. There's also basketball which is fine in small dosages
>>153632461Paris 2024 was the best closing ceremony. So fucking cool and redeemed the pretty ropey opening one.
>>153631825ESPN 3 has Worlds broadcasts but you need to find the schedule for the individual sport from their governing body’s website
>>153632437olympic athletes are not just hard workers but genetic freaks. they're just born this way. If you weren't like, always the fast and most athletic kid in the playground starting in kindergarten you had no shot. no need to beat yourself up over it.
>>153631890Real talk
Last time I posted on /sp/ was during summer olympics in 2024. Super comfy. Will be back for world cup. Winter olympics was comfy af.
>>153632657In certain events yeah. Phelps was always going to dominate swimming, Bolt athletics. People with higher v02 max etc. The people doing archery, handball or bmx or whatever? nah
>>153632582i think the ending ceremony wouldnt be as good if opening wasnt so controversialthe ending being so lowkey and classy and especially the "I did it my waaaay~" thing really tied it togetherlike yea fuck you we are flamboyant fags and trannies, you still had good time thoand they were right, it was awesome time, they did it all their way
>>153632657Some are but some curlers are chubbo’s. And if you back to the Paris games and the Turk chad pistol dominator, his competitors were all fat slobs from EuropeBut yes your generally right 99% if the time. And Czech Republic has hands down the hottest female athletes followed by Holland
>>153629169This is sad. but we'll endure and forget, we always do.
>>153632723Curling actually takes a high IQ though, so he's out by default
>>153629192Soccer playoffs started in Feb and are every week from now to May
This was my 10th winter olympics, but it still feels like the end of an era. Next time, I'll be 46, my son will be all grown up and my remaining grandparents will most likely be dead.
>>153633237Last one I watched was in my teens with the senpai. I'm 47 now. You won't miss it that much
>>153629169March Madness...oh wait you're a shitty European lmao
>>153633213nigga u gay
I always feel really sad when events end. Hope there are still some good threads like this on /sp/ for a couple of days to ease the transition into the normal routine.
>>153633316March Madness is underway in Europe as we speak. Every major western euro country is in the final stages of their "NCAA"....all the domestic cups in soccer are at the Sweet Sixteen, elite eight and final four stages as we speak
>>153633237im 30 and all of my grandparents and parents are already dead
>>153633365woah, very cool
>>153633342It's a wake up call you need a life outside of TV. You could do Vidya but try shooting for going outside and meeting real people and making friends that do things other than TV
>>153632437I am exactly the same. I don't crave a medal or anything but couldn't I have got involved in something and competed nationally before I drank too much and aged.
>>153633414>meeting real peopleYou mean the fake sheepbrained NPCs who aren't even sentient or self aware?
>>153633441And yet you continue to waste your life today. Wake up!
>>153633460why would you have fake sheep brains??
>>153629169
>>153633368
>>153633460You cab hangout at the Buddhist monetary. I hang out at all 3 by me. Plus there are a lot of mindfulness and meditation groups on top of that all around you. Wake up!
>>153633441>>153633470I do go out and meet friends. I was out all afternoon. We drank.
>>153633460Anon, watching sports is the epitome of being a sheepbrained NPC. Its ok to enjoy stupid stuff from time to time.
>>153629169>Post-Olympics depressionThere really is an empty feeling. I can't even explain it. It's not like I don't closely follow other sports throughout the year. It just preoccupies me for 2 weeks every single time.
>>153633368Same, last one died when I was 18.Now in the 30 and I don't have kids either.
>>153633505Sitting around drinking is fun but it's going to get old fast once you become an adult so you better start expanding your life beyond that. Wake up!
>>153629248actually seeing all this peak athletic performance has inspired me. i will stop eating like an idiot and will get in shape
>>153633237My mom died in january, first time i watched olympics without celebrating golds with her at home or her calling me all happy after every event.
IIHF world championship is every year81 days until next one
>>15363358581 days? Anon I could be dead by then.
>>153633585Switzerland should be nice and UK is back nice
>>153633568>i will stop eating like an idiot and will get in shapeI told myself this on Wed (after i had been walking 4-7 miles a day for 2 weeks straight at the daily festivals)But i have done the opposite since then. I'm sick but that's no excuse. May you fare better than I did! Good luck and Godspeed!
>>153632364>>153632377>>153632402>>153632437Praying for you lads, lock in and fight for your dreams, because you know greatness comes in many shapes and sizes. Let's do this!
>>153630623/sp/ didn't exist then you liar
>>153631760World championships are in something like a month, assuming she's going.
>>153633683stop coping it's just like on /v/ when gdq ends and people say esa is a month away and then esa happens and no one gives a shit. there may be 5 of you who actually watch it but if you try to make a thread it will be dead on arrival. a lot of the fun of the olympics comes from the threads
4 YEARS is tooooo fucking long
>>153633668/sp/ came into existence in 2008 because of 18-1 you retard.Vancouver bringing in non-sports people to the board cemented it as /b/ 2.0, and was the glory years.
>>153633907LA is 2 yearsWhen you hit middle aged, 2 years really doesnt feel that long
>>153634107summer is ok, just hit like winter games though.
LA 2028 is going to be fucking funny as fuck.Everyone is going to be booing at Trump.
>>153629169Wait for world cup I guess.
>>153633368>>153633399I know that feel..
I can't believe it's over already.
>>153633237I'll be 37 and all alone.
I'm going to actually pick up ice skating.. sad that the season only lasts for one more month. But I'm definitely going to get some fancy blades.
How many days til LA '28?
>>153633525I wish it was either an extra week longer or annually instead of every 2/4 years.
>>153642096>>153637522
I am seriously considering to volunteer for the next winter olympics... maybe I can be a janny in the Olympic village.
>>153633365>soccerAt least have the decency to speak about our competitions as football. Not s*ccer.
>>153642487have fun collecting used condoms
Is there any amusing events to watch in the Paralympics, like they strap people with no arms or legs to a sled and then push the fuckers down a mountainside? There's ripe lulz potential to be had by having disabled people do sports, yet the IOC fails to capitalise upon it.
>>153629169Try to get laid.
>>153642765I may catch a glimpse of some athlete that /sp/ is hypin up!
>>153642834I think the closest we get to lulz is retards playing ice hockey.
>>153642834I think the alpine skiing can be exciting to watch.But yeah, don't count on skeleton for the visually impaired, or midget shorttrack skating.
Tourette's Figure Skating
>wake up today>no Olympics>no bunda>no crashouts on the speed skate rinks>no raccoon girls>no weird skiing events >no curlfusJUST
>>153642945This looks fucking scary.
>>153643371They're going like 10 miles per hour.
>>153642068but you have us? :-)
>>153643408Depends on the event, some can go quite fast.Others... not so much.
>>153642991Weirdest and saddest feeling going from all of these classy top-of-the-line sports venues and events to regular ass Sunday night basketball and Monday night football
>>153644120Actually competition vs consumer slop
>>153642834>>153643371>>153643408
>>153644947LMAO
>>153644947Did he died?
>>153644947Lindsey Vonn is in the paralympics now???
>>153644965He hit his so head he stopped being retarded. Like literally, he wasn't retarded anymore.
>>153629192not watching it. Im depress.
>>153629169Have you heard about the Australian Football League?
>>153645200time zones are too different im not getting up at 5am to watch footy
>>153645200I would rather watch Abbo vs Kangaroo death marches. Make it happen
>>153645200never heard of it
>>153645309i have, it's like one big homosexual orgy.
>>153629169Want to make fun of canada?
>>153633525The Snowhore Freewhore sluts were particularly quite adorable, all seemed to be under 5'0"
>>153648962You have any idea how many time coomed watching Sweden vs Switzerland women's curling?
I'm keeping this thread alive as long as possible so we can keep the flame alive. Maybe we can keep it going for (4x365) days
The WBC starts in 10 days!Honestly, I'm more excited about this than the Olympics.uhihi.
1438 days to go.
>>153649920hopefully we see a Japan and US rematch.
>>153649920WBC is retarded
>>153633237I tried to work it out, and this was actually my 11th Winter Olympics. It's your 12th.>2026 Milan-Cortina>2022 Beijing>2018 Pyeongchang>2014 Sochi>2010 Vancouver <-------- THIS IS 5>2006 Torino / Turin>2002 Salt Lake City>1998 Nagano>1994 Lillehammer>1992 Albertville <---- JUST A TWO-YEAR GAP HERE (THIS IS ALSO 10)>1988 Calgary(I was born in this gap)>1984 Sarajevo(You will have been born here if you're 42 now)
Someone asked Rogers Hornsby what he does all winter. He said he looks out the window and waits for spring.
>>153653116What if I am 67?
>>153653116Well, yes, I've been alive for 12 of them, but I was an infant during Sarajevo and don't remember Calgary, so I don't count them.
>>153653930You should try out for the para Olympics, you're definitely retarded enough
>>153653116I actually went to the Lillehammer games when I was a kid. Only thing I remember is getting up extremely early, the ridiculously full train from Oslo to Lillehammer, and it being incredibly cold even by norwegian standards.Was fortunately before they instituted a lower limit to temperatures to compete in, so I got to watch a bit of the women's 15km cross country ski race.Good if rather limited memories.
>>153653980Yes, I'm retarded for not specifying these were the 10th winter olympics I WATCHED. Truly baffling what people will cause drama over.
This was the best winter games in a LONG time. Except for the thots the media kept shilling and shoving in our faces. I hate normie NPCs so fucking much.
