Because they grew up as middle to upper class white guys regardless if they are from Canada or America.

Regardless of playing a handful of years in various towns.

Most NFL players played football in small college towns across the south.

And they are the least diverse sports around. *

In that context it’s not even close to how diverse baseball is.

Many minor league rosters as low as A ball are populated by players born throughout Latin America and the east Asia.

Not to mention the diversity of American born players which includes many Hispanic heritage players

The only measure that baseball would be not diverse is on the number of American born black players though that number has been steadily rising.

It is by far the most varied sport and the minors represent much of the majors.

In fact one could argue the least diverse sport is basketball which has has the the highest percentage of its players coming from the same national/ethnic breakdown as 70% of the league are black Americans.

And most have deals agreed to when they are like 12. Crazy*

https://www.designnews.com/industry/fpv-drones-take-center-stage-at-milano-cortina-2026

Each team contains three members: a pilot, a spotter, and a director. The pilots wear virtual reality goggles to provide them the feeling of flying with the drone. That eliminates any potential for situational awareness of what is happening around the drone, so the spotter is on hand to ensure that the pilot is informed of any potential hazards.

---

Something that viewers at home notice is the whine of the drones’ rotors in flight. Exarchos addressed that in his discussion. “I know that there's a question around audio and the noise that this equipment generates, which is a reasonable question,” he said. The OBS team has 1800 microphones placed around the Olympic venues in support of their 860 cameras, so the service has the ability to switch to different audio sources.

They rely on microphones on the drones to provide ambient sound, but in the process, they also pick up the noise of the drones’ rotors. The athletes don’t notice the sound because the drone is behind them, but viewers hear it.

Noise-cancellation technology would seem purpose-built for this application, but Exarchos said that it just isn’t good enough at the moment. “I think that through the years, this noise, with technology, will be reduced,” he said. “I believe that also with AI, it will be at some point possible to reduce the capture of this noise from the microphones. But currently, if we did that, we would kill a lot of the other atmosphere that we capture in the venues, and we simply don't want to do that.”

this will be known as the drone Games

Unless I'm missing something it's bragging rights and a medal. This isn't a bunch of college kids defeating the Big Red Machine here....it's NHL professionals from one country playing NHL professionals from another. Millionaires on millionaires.

Hell, the MLB All Star game when it determined home field advantage had higher stakes.

Unless I'm missing something it's bragging rights and a medal. This isn't a bunch of college kids defeating the Big Red Machine here....it's NHL professionals from one country playing NHL professionals from another.

Hell, the MLB All Star game when it determined home field advantage had higher stakes.

"A Gold Medal" ESPECIALLY in a team sport being played by professionals means absolutely zip to me.

I get it if you're a speed skater or a biathlete, this is the absolute pinnacle of your sport, it's the payoff of all your life's work, and this is going to be your 15 minutes of fame before going back to finish your degree and get into project management or medical sales....but an NHL player?

I'm guessing 98.9% of the rosters of either team would take a Stanley Cup win any day, over a Gold Medal in a glorified All Star tourney (where all but 2 teams are mostly comprised of players that will never see a minute of NHL ice time).

Sweden who the US is playing is literally made up of entirely NHLers.

Finland has one non-NHLer and he played in the NHL

Yes the Stanley cup matters more but best in best international hockey matters a great deal especially to people in Canada. The Olympics are the pinnacle of that.

Go ask any Canadian about the golden goal. It is a seminal moment for most of the NHL today.

You are right, I stand corrected. Four....four of the teams are made mostly of NHLers

So basically it's just the Four Nations Face Off all over again, just with a different prize, more hoopla, and more corporate backing.

Gotcha.

...and I'm sure THIS Olympics means a lot for Canadians as well, as they are most likely going to go for gold against a country led by a President that is actively threatening their sovereignty.

Can't say I necessarily blame them.

Despite my threats in 2004, I am currently not a Canadian so "meh".

If you don't score, you maintain the hammer

When you have hammer, your goal is to score more than one point. A score if one is referred to as a "force" and a blank is when there are no rocks in the house, thus there is a score of zero. Teams will often go for the blank vs. just scoring one, and thus the hammer carries over to the next end.

And while I’m complaining, the fact that they have judging in the ski jump is imbecilic

It’s a ski jump. If you jumped farther, that means your technique is better. There is not the slightest shred of a rationale that in any sane universe would make anyone think that a judge needs to be involved. There’s not a judge in the long jump, or the hundred yard dash. Then again, the summer Olympics don’t completely suck.

Here is some perspective

They actually did a "Battle of the Sexes" exhibition last season, the number one women's team in the world (Homan of Canada) vs. the number one men's team in the world (Mouat of Scotland). They stacked the deck to try to make the game more even and competitive by giving special rules to the men's team, and they still absolutely dominated. Men are just so much stronger in terms of sweeping and throwing takeout weight. If you look at the "super league" in my club, the best league, I don't think there is a single women's team in the upper half of the standings, and these are the best women curlers in our club.

Vonn went off a jump and clipped a gate in midair, sending her sideways as she landed and crashed hard to the snow.

It was all done in 13 seconds. Within minutes, a helicopter could be heard flying up the mountain as medics tended to her in the middle of the slope. She was lifted up and flown over the finish area to a loud ovation. The race was paused for about 20 minutes.

Apparently there may be an issue with penis doping among ski jumpers

The World Anti-Doping Agency could investigate if evidence emerges that male ski jumpers are injecting their penises in a bid to improve sporting performance.

In January, German newspaper Bild, external reported that jumpers were injecting their penises with hyaluronic acid before being measured for their suits.

Hyaluronic acid, which is not banned in sport, can be used to increase penis circumference by one or two centimetres.

This would increase the surface area of their suits during competition, which, according to FIS, the international ski and snowboard federation, could increase their flight in the air.
