USA Olympic Uniforms Are Ugly: There’s no two ways about it. The USA Olympic Uniforms for Sochi are ugly. These are the outfits that our athletes will be wearing at the opening ceremonies next month in Sochi, Russia. These new uniforms were just unveiled last week on the Today Show with Matt Lauer. The uniforms were designed by Ralph Lauren and made in America (Ralph Lauren’s 2012 London Olympic uniforms were made in China). In our opinion: yeah, they aren’t great, but we’d sure as hell love to be one of the people fortunate enough to wear one. Go team USA! […] SnowBrains | January 27, 2014 3 Comments

BBC’s Winter Olympics Trailer Is Totally Over the Top Um… Hey, lady, yeah, that’s not how you carry skis… The BBC made this 2014 Winter Olympics trailer and it’s preposterous. The voice in the clip is British actor Charles Dance, who is famous for his role as Tywin Lannister in HBO’s Game of Thrones. This trailer has people who don’t know how to carry skis and who don’t really look like athletes going up against Mt. Doom. The best part is listening to […] Olympics SnowBrains | January 16, 2014 1 Comment
Lindsey Vonn Will NOT Compete in 2014 Winter Olympics | Another Surgery Scheduled It’s official, Lindsey Vonn will not compete in the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia. Lindsey will undergo her second knee surgery this season and she doesn’t forecast skiing on the World Cup until February 2015. That means that she will have been injured and out of the World Cup racing scene for 2 years before she comes back. I don’t picture Lindsey dominating fully next year on the World Cup. She’ll be smarter, take it easy, and get back to her full potential. In 2016, it’ll be a different story. If Lindsey can stay healthy, watch our for her in 2016.
