EWolfe Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Shani Davis today became the first African-American to win a gold medal in an Individual Event in the Winter Olympics. Quote
jon Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 And the first person to be not happy in the interview after winning the gold medal. Not sure what was up with that. Quote
lick Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Mister E is so politically correct. And I thought black people never participated in any outdoor winter event Quote
EWolfe Posted February 19, 2006 Author Posted February 19, 2006 (edited) He was reticent about it, for sure. That's SO Euro! Edited February 19, 2006 by MisterE Quote

EWolfe Posted February 20, 2006 Author Posted February 20, 2006 I just heard announcers talking about forward and back twizzles, and Snoop wasn't one of them. Quote

underworld Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 victim of the media - they've gotta make a drama out of everything. the guy is just a regular dude (and says aphlete instead of athlete), not a diplomat. He went there to race his race(s) and that's all. not that this is about race, right? oh yeah, he's the darkest gold medal winner in the winter oly's. bling bling. Quote
Dru Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 In Canada they were allowed to say he was the first black person to win an individual gold at the winters. Saying "First African-American" is like saying "First British ascent" Anyways a Jamaican-Canadian got silver in bobsled! Quote
underworld Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 i wonder if any white south african american has ever won an individual gold? Quote
Cobra_Commander Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 I wonder if any left-handed guy has won the speed skating comp. Quote
Cobra_Commander Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 This is a groundbreaking moment, but what will be truly breathtaking is when someone who can roll their tongue wins back-to-back gold Quote
underworld Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 short track or long track? they're not the same Quote
Cobra_Commander Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 damn why is life so complicated Quote
cj001f Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 This is a groundbreaking moment, but what will be truly breathtaking is when someone who can roll their tongue wins back-to-back gold That sounds alot like the "Best Actress" Oscar.... Quote
Cobra_Commander Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 the "best actress" oscar is lame because they compete in easier movies. Quote
Dru Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 What if they solo a nontechnical mountain route and someone else uncages their soul?? Quote
Dechristo Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 goddam affirmative action... it's scandalous to let 'em on stage - unless there's a pole. Quote
Cobra_Commander Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 What if they solo a nontechnical mountain route and someone else uncages their soul?? A third-person uncage??? I'll believe it when I see it. Quote
Mos_Chillin Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 They kicked ass today! 1 and 2 on the 1500 Quote
olyclimber Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 is this a new routine...perhaps the fetal routine?? I give it high marks!!! Quote
Gary_Yngve Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 I'm sure the ladies here have enjoyed the skintight outfits of the male speed skaters. If I could have found a picture in the past few minutes, I would have posted it. Quote
