My personal faves were: Chloe Kim's amazing halfpipe run, Ester Ledecka's unexpected Super G win, the pairs free skate (Germany starts at 12:54) and Javier Fernandez's silly Gala performance.
Aljona was flying!
I'm not sure if those links will work for everyone, but just in case they don't I looked for more so people wouldn't be left out in the cold.
Since I'm very into figure skating, here is the Alina Zagitova in practice, a tribute to Canada's Scott Moir and Tessa Virtue (20 years of pairs ice dancing), and Evgenia Medvedeva as Sailor Moon (not performed in these Olympics, but still cooky. Volume warning)
Didn't get to see much curling which is a shame, but watching the final shots for the men's tournament was great. Just for kicks I've also been ranking the Google Doodles during the Olympics (because I'm an animator too sometimes) and here are the results:
Rank 6
Rank 5
Rank 4
Bronze Medal
Silver Medal
Gold Medal
Also interesting that there are a few things not allowed or simply missing from the games. Lastly, for those who need that "Olympic" itch scratched - have no fear, the Marbelympics are free to watch on Youtube! Enjoy! :)
I always wanted to make a curling video game, like that golf game with the roller ball in all bars, in the old days. It's an entertaining (and accessible) sport!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great idea Isey! And possibly one not too difficult? Definitely sounds like something I'd try out. :D
