Olympic Fever

Alison's traveling today, so Team USA's #1 fan Sarah Patton is here to twizzle in her shoes. We hear how here Opening Ceremonies party went (perhaps it was golden), and then Jill and Sarah talk about Bobsled, our favorite mustachioed Ski Jumper, Curling and doping, Alpine Skiing, Big Air, a most exciting Biathlon race, Speedskating and Ice Dancing.

Before today's episode, Jill hit the wall, but after today's conversation, she's back in the game. Today we have Part 3 (of 3) of men's Figure Skating--just in time for the Ice Dancing competition. Also an intense Biathlon race and an amazing Cross-Country Skiing relay. Alison fills Jill in on Men's Ice Hockey um, Fighting, um Ice Hockey and why she doesn't like Skeleton. Plus Curling and Jill's anger at NBC over the Slopestyle coverage of Team Olympic Fever member Devin Logan.

When does a Men's Figure Skating competition take three days? When Alison and Jill have to go to bed. Today is part 2 of our Men's Figure Skating coverage. Plus, Alison gives Aerials and Skeleton another try. There's also some Alpine Skiing and Team Olympic Fever member Devin Logan in Slopestyle, and a look at everyone's favorite Tongan in competition. Jill gets to see the Curling measurement device in action. And we've got more SpORDS.

Jill and Alison discover they have a raging case of O.D. (Olympic Disorientation), yet they press on for today's wrapup, which includes the rest of pairs figure skating, luge, ice hockey, snowboardcross, alpine skiing, curling, aerials, men's figure skating and biathlon. Alison's jumped on the biathlon bandwagon, as today's races moved her to tears. Meanwhile, Jill would just like to be in charge of the Thinking Clock.

Jill and Alison catch up on their last day's viewing. Alison was into team sports (ice hockey, curling, Norwegian curling pants), while Jill saw Team Olympic Fever member Bryan Fletcher compete. They also ponder the existence of doubles luge, watch a bit of the pairs figure skating together, and Alison hears her three favorite words: The Attacking Vikings.

Cheers and tears as Jill & Alison talk about their day of Olympics watching. We've got, men's halfpipe, short track speedskating, speedskating, pairs figure skating, women's luge, men's alpine skiing - downhill combined, women's ice hockey and men's curling. Plus, we do finally have a discussion about Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir's commentary. And VMs! We'd love to hear from you and what you're watching! Leave us a VM at 530-763-3837 (530-7-O-FEVER).

We think it's Day 4 of the Olympics....or at least it's Day 4 of our viewing coverage. Jill and Alison got to watch a lot today, so we're in for a big wrap-up. We've got team figure skating, women's luge, women's ski jumping, biathlon, moguls and halfpipe. Plus, what's Jill willing to officiate today, and we give our initial impressions of the NBC hosts.

Jill and Alison continue their daily viewing wrapups! Today we continue with the Team Figure Skating event, then Jill goes crazy over the craziness on the Luge track and Biathlon course. There's some Sven Kramer talk during Jill's 3rd or 4th viewing of his race. Plus, chaos and triumph during Men's Cross-Country Skiing Skiathlon. And Jill finds another sport she might want to officiate. If you want to share what you're watching, give us a call at 530-763-3837 (530-7-O-FEVER).

It's been a great day of Olympic competition in PyeongChang. Jill and Alison trade notes on the competitions they've watched, which includes: Short Track Speedskating, Long Track Speedskating. Ski Jumping, Luge, Ice Hockey, Cross-Country Skiing, and Figure Skating.

Jill and Alison discuss the most obscure of obscure sports with U.S. Nordic Combined Olympian Bryan Fletcher. Plus news on future Winter bids, an invite to our Fantasy Olympian league and an update on our broadcast schedule during PyeongChang 2018.

This week we're on the long track with speedskating sprinter Erin Jackson. Erin's a world champion inline skater who recently transitioned to the ice and surprised everyone--even herself--by snagging a spot on the team in the 500m. Then we head back outside to the snow to preview the cross-country skiing competition. Jason Albert, the host of the "Nordic Nation" podcast on FasterSkier.com, tells us more about the sport and what to look for out on the course.

Rockerskater.com's Jackie Wong was so great that we had to include his full interview here. He goes deep on figure skating--who to watch for, the scoring system, skating judges and the different disciplines....and he humors Jill while she waxes poetic about spirals.

It's the week Alison has been looking forward to: Figure Skating Week! We've got three great guests on today's show: 2014 Olympic pairs skater Nate Bartholomay; international Mind-Body Performance Coach Rebekah Dixon, who's working with Canadian pairs skater Meagan Duhamel; and figure skating analyst Jackie Wong of RockerSkating.com. Plus trivia--and we hear about some new members of Team Olympic Fever!

This week we're talking Women's Olympic Ice Hockey this week! First up, Jill is beyond excited to talk with one of the "other Olympians," hockey linesman Jessica Leclerc. Plus, we have an interview with U.S. Women's forward Brianna Decker, whom Jill talked with at Team USA Winterfest in November. Plus trivia, the exciting news about North and South Korea walking together in the Opening Ceremonies, and tough news for biathlon great Ole Einar Bjoerndalen.
