I doubt the athletes had much of a say in the matter, but I agree it is ridiculous they never even really tested the uniforms. Publicity won over performance I guess.

It's pretty common to race in equipment in which you don't train. You want more resistance during training. In track you have spikes just for the races, in swimming they typically will use higher drag suits. However, it's not common to not have done much testing with them and then use them in the most important races of their careers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Not to beat a dead horse but not upset that under armour sponsored equipment continues to get bad publicity. I hope they lose all of their sponsorships so I never have to see their terrible ideas again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like their actual under-the-armour stuff is good, I like it, especially cold gear like long sleeves. It appears their equipment shoes etc doesn't hold up as well.

They did fine excpet the little snot grew out of them in one season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I can't believe the snowboard cross chick crashed with such a big lead, brutal. Bode Miller is quite the fertile ladies man, multiple kids from multiple relationships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 The interview with Bode Miller was f***ing awful, how many times can you ask about his dead brother? Give the guy a break, you need to learn how to walk away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if that includes the miscarriage they discussed on air with the skeleton medalist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Mao Asada was one of the two co-favorites for the figure skating gold...went down on her first jump and ended up 16th after the short program. Sad. Great champion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad. Great champion. Not really sad, there was story about her, if she was from South Korea, and it detailed how she didn't really compete much and this was all for fun after winning in Vancouver. She only appeared in a couple of events over the last couple of years and while she was a favorite a top performance would be tough. Again if this was the same female skater and if she was from South Korea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
