Anything to report from the Olympics?

I believe this thread is one of those who really de-railed

I conclude that no prototype body or lens was shown, which means we have to wait for Brazil. Then I can open a new thread, which will de-rail into a female spectator contest

By the way, curling is a fascinating sport. We lost this year ... but we won a few others, check the medal statistics

Despite Canada's success in curling, there are only two gold medals given out at the Olympics.... Men's Hockey and Women's Hockey. The 7D2 did not surface at the Woman's gold medal game, so it should appear at the men's gold medal game.

He he, spoken as a true Canadian. To me hockey is a tier three sport, so I have quite a few a head of that. But I´m Norwegian. We are born with skis on our feet, not skates Good luck in the finales!

Strange ... Curling is normally used as The example of boring winter sports. But apparently not amongst photographers :

The first time I saw the Winter Olympics on television, I thought curling was a funny sport. But I was only seeing the men's teams. This year I discovered the girls' teams and was a fan of this sport. : It is a pity that in Brazil the temperature is between 20 and 35 degrees Celsius throughout the year. :-\ We will have no ice around here, much less the beautiful girls of the Russian team. :-*

In the London Olympic games....all the fuss was about the Brazillian outdoor volley ball team...I had a few mates with front row seats all though the qualifying, quarters, semis....they all looked more than a little star struck ;-D

It is a pity that Russian girls curling team go to the games with a lot of clothes. :-* Maybe we will see 7D mark ii olympics in 2016, here in Brazil. Yes, and girls volleyball too.

Yep, once upon a time the Russian girls teams seemed to be only discus and shotput throwers....most fellas youed to comment on the size of their biceps...most looked like body builders....these days things have changed a lot!

Hmmm, the men's curling certainly brought the sport back down to earth from a spectator point of view

I'm pretty sure the Russians did show off their prototype bodies.

beer league curling is one of the best ways to spend your time. its like softball but inside and you dont have to run or hit anything, and the fact that its on ice is like a regulator that prevents anyone from getting obnoxiously drunk. may not be awesome to watch but if friendly competition, adult beverages, and not a ton of hard work are your thing, curlings for you.

Prototypes?? They looked more like handmade pieces of art to me ...

Well Don(e), and all the other Canadians on CR, you got the two medals that matter the most (to you)! Congratulations with top performances
