It’s over. Of course it’s going to be some time before my family sees the rest of the broadcasts (we just got past the freaking endless Super Bowl stuff, because the one thing you want to be constantly reminded of when watching the Winter Olympics is one of the few sports leagues even more corrupt and greedy than the IOC 
), but I’ve had my fill.
Just a general postscript on some of what I’ve seen:
Halfpipe: The problem with the whole notion of “snowboard tricks” is that there’s a single object which both feet are affixed to, and therefore there just isn’t a whole lot they can do. I’m with Gatopescado on this, there’s just too much sameness to the routines. I’m fine with straight races like snowboard cross, but this one should’ve stayed in the X Games.
Snowboard cross: Fun! What more could you ask. On a very positive note, Lindsey Jacobellis finally got that 900-megaton gorilla off her back, which presumably means that we can finally start talking about her failing to medal at all in 3 straight Olympiads. 
Figure skating: I cannot overstate how much the fall of the USSR contributed to this becoming much more like a real sport. This is at least the fourth Winter Olympiad in a row I remember where there wasn’t some horrific judging scandal. We didn’t need to get rid of “subjective” events (or even give a different award for them like I suggested a couple times), we needed judges who did their damn jobs. It was a beautiful spectacle all around, with a few close calls but no serious injuries, and I’m glad for it. I do think the team competition needs some tweaking (there wasn’t any real medal drama going into the ladies’ free skate), but I don’t mind it being here. Mistreated Russian girls, alas, is something that people far more capable than me will have to sort out on their own.
Curling: Eh…still don’t quite dig this. Slide, brusha brusha brusha, clickety clack, thoughtful gazing…not my thing. Glad our side did well, though.
Monobob: Reportedly some female bobsledders were clamoring for the 4-person event to be added, but they got this instead because there weren’t enough competitors. IMO that was a good move, giving a chance to pioneer a new discipline. What’s especially challenging (other than the lighter sled is apparently easier to wipe out in) is that other than the other sled events, one person has to steer and brake. Saw a few runs, and the level of control required was impressive. Salute to these brave ladies, and here’s hoping this gains plenty of traction.
Short track speed skating: If Homestar Runner made a sport. It’s weird, it’s wild, it’s nerve-warcking, it’s chaotic, it’s vicious, it’s heartbreaking, and that’s what makes it so awesome. Or terrible, depending. One of those sports you either accept for what it is or shake your head at in disgust and put hockey back on. I’m in the former camp. Mostly.
30K mass start: Phew.
Parting question: NBC? Humble request? Could you please stop giving a damn about the Jamaican bobsled team? Look, I was there. I was just like all of you, finding it completely preposterous that a tropical island nation was competing a cold-weather sport. They were a bizarre curiosity at the time. And now they’re not. Jamaica in the bobsled has been done. There is no novelty anymore, no curiosity, nothing the slightest bit unusual about what they’re doing. Now they’re just another team that’s shows up and never accomplishes anything. Unless that’s your story, stop talking about this completely unremarkable team. Please. And also stop trying to get us to give a damn about mediocre three decade old comedies. Thank you.
