I love the photos of the gold-medal Canadian hockey team celebrating after their win. Although, apparently it was a Very Bad Thing for these lady athletes to have been drinking champagne and smoking cigars on the ice after fans had left the building, like how male athletes drink champagne and smoke cigars after they win big sporting events all the fucking time. Their lady revelry, in fact, drew "scrutiny" from the International Olympic Committee, which said that it would "investigate what happened." Hmmm, I wonder if the IOC will find similar time and resources to make lady ski jumping "happen." But I digress. Here, ladies and gentleman, we observe Truth A about articles involving female athletes: "When female athletes are covered in the mainstream/sports media, at least one of three truths will come into play: (a) The coverage will consist of a gimmicky article about how a particular lady athlete has behaved badly, (b) If the coverage is a feature story, it will be of a Hot Lady Athlete even though she has peers who are similarly, if not more, talented, and/or (c) Following every online article featuring a female athlete or team, male commenters opine upon the general overall suckiness of lady sports." Nothing like lady-shaming to get everyone to stop focusing on the athletic accomplishments of women. ...

It&#8217s no secret that Disney NYSE DIS would like to get another crack at the Olympics and plans to bid for rights to the 2014 and 2016 games.The last time ABC had rights to the Olympics was 1988&#8212before e-mail was ubiquitous broadband was even a possibility and ESPN was a sports powerhouse. So what would an ESPN-ABC Olympics look like in the age of high-speed internet and video-centric handsets? How would it compare to the coverage of current rights holder NBC Universal? John Skipper&#8217s four-letter answer Live. I caught up with Skipper ESPN&#8217s EVP of content and cohort John Walsh EVP and executive editor during the NBA All-Star Weekend on opening night of the Winter Olympics for a wide-ranging conversation in of all places the bar at the Dallas Ritz-Carlton. How much of the Olympics would be on ESPN&#8217s broadband net ESPN360.com soon to be rebranded ESPN3? No commitment to showing all events live online but &#8220a ton of it because remember on 3 you have infinite screens.&#8221 Would he tape delay ski runs for prime time as NBC has been criticized for doing? &#8220We believe in live. We believe in live.&nbsp We just think at this point with technology and people&#8217s expectations and the ability to get instant information. We believe in live.&#8221 ...

A Russian deputy prime minister said the country's environmentalists are aiming to "trash" the 2014 Olympics in Russia's Black Sea resort city of Sochi instead of taking "a constructive stance". Russia's independent environmentalists have been protesting against developers' plans for Sochi, warning they could damage the unique landscape of the region, where some territories are protected as natural UNESCO World Heritage Sites. "I call on all participants of non-governmental organizations to take a constructive stance. It would be more beneficial, both for the environment and for the professional objectives they are pursuing," Dmitry Kozak said. The high-ranking official said that a recent report prepared by inspectors from international NGOs also pointed out that Russian environmentalists are uncooperative and obstruct preparations for the 2014 Olympics. "Instead of solving real ecological issues and proposing measures of compensation these people are maintaining an absolutely uncooperative stance, something international experts from global non-governmental organizations have pointed out," Kozak said. Sochi won the right to host the Olympics at an IOC session in Guatemala in July 2007 after a close race with South Korea's Pyeongchang and Austria's Salzburg. Russia has never hosted the Winter Olympics and Moscow's hosting of the Summer Games in 1980 was marred by a U.S.-led boycott involving more than 60 countries. MOSCOW, March 12 R ...

  By Ed Leigh On our pilgrimage to the Winter Olympics from the most northern town in British Columbia, we stopped at the old gold mining town of Stewart. In the town museum we read the story of a Nass River Indian who had been on the run from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for 15 years, living off the land and surviving the harsh winter environment. Soon it would be our turn to experience the great Canadian outdoors in winter. The original plan was to trek across country from the top of the Jervis inlet crossing 40km to the newly-built Whistler Olympic park home of the Ski Jumping hills and Nordic skiing tracks. We put the word out that we were looking for a guide for the trip and only one man got back to us with a positive response. Scott Flavelle, a mountain guide with experience in television production experience. His CV lists his role as chief advisor to the Eco Challenge the ultra-tough worldwide endurance race. The only downside with our original plan was that Scott estimated with the amount of trail breaking needed we would be looking at a seven-day trip. We would need to manage our expectations slightly. Scott suggested an alternative would be to drop in by helicopter into the back of the Garibaldi National Park, on the Spearhead range then ski tour for four days, ending the trip by skiing down into the town of Whistler. We would need to carry our own food, stoves, fuel, tents, sleeping bags etc and in total our packs w ...

Their human rights record is even worse, if you can believe it. As long as they buy our debt and then send back cheap stuff for everyone to buy, few will complain. AFP:China's human rights record worsened last year as authorities increased harassment of activists and repression in the Xinjiang region, the US State Department said Thursday."The government's human rights record remained poor and worsened in some areas," the annual report by the State Department said.It said Beijing "increased the severe cultural and religious repression of ethnic minorities" in Xinjiang, the western region that last year saw deadly clashes between China's Han majority and the local Uighur people.The State Department said China "continued to repress Uighurs expressing peaceful political dissent and independent Muslim religious leaders," by trying to associate the predominantly Muslim people with terrorism. ...

function googleTranslateElementInit() { new google.translate.TranslateElement({ pageLanguage: 'en', includedLanguages: 'de,fr' }, 'google_translate_element'); } Over the last week or so I've been reviewing online newspaper coverage of the recent Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics . In the final part of this series, I want to look at elements of coverage in Germany and Canada, and present an overview video with some clips of the sites in action. Discrete Facebook presence from Bild Bild had added Olympia 2010 to their main navigation. There was also a prominent promo presence for a German Olympia 2010 group on Facebook . One of the things that I found very interesting about this is that above the fold on Facebook it was not branded 'Bild' at all. It is only lower down the page that the association with Germany's biggest tabloid paper becomes clear. The Bild site also had a Flash interactive. this included live text coverage, and the Bild Backstage section which I mentioned when looking at Twitter coverage of the games on Wednesday . Bild also offered the enticing promise of 'Sportstätten in 3-D'. Rather than donning some special glasses, however, this appeared to just be schematics of buildings turned at a slight angle to add some perspective. Staying in Germany, sueddeutsche.de also offered a 'live-ticker' portal. This was made up of lots of elements in one fixed size pop-up, which didn't work too well on my Mac, as I wasn't able to scr ...
