Damn, this was brutal. And tough to listen to. A few minutes after the crash, she got up and walked away under her own power, and even gave an interview before she went to get X-rays on her back. I thought for sure she had at least broken a leg. Here’s Leigh Diffey with the call.

I hadn’t looked at them. I wish you hadn’t shared.

I’ve always thought those exposed legs are begging to be snapped like twigs in a crash. Thank goodness that didn’t happen here.

And this is the same track that they’ll be doing skeleton on. I can’t imagine doing this shit head first.

I saw that and immediately heard the music, and Jim McKay.

Maybe there’s a reason they call it “skeleton?”

Ah, the Winter Olympics.

A strange mixture of the weird (curling, biathlon) and the seriously scary ( all those sliding very rapidly downhill events like bobsleigh and luge, but especially luge). Oh, and ski jumping. Ski jumping is awesome.

I thought this was about the Austrian lady. That one was hilarious

I like the winter games much more than summer.

No bones about it.
