Hope you're not counting on gold medals in men's or women's hockey ;)

Did USA just lose somebody to injury?

You mean people actually watch the Winter Olympics?

I will try to watch the Mens hockey. But since the stupid canadians put it in Vancover of all places in Canada, the games starts at 1.30 am for me :furious
-
Just when do the Olympics start? :uhoh
-
My favorite....the hot lookin' tall thin Dutch Ladies speed skaters in those micro-thin skating suits.
Gawd...I LOVE the Olympics.
ROX

Yeah Lindsey Vonn, she's on the U.S skiing team, she hurt her knee, but I saw on the news yesterday that she still might compete.
-
Go USA curling!!!
-
Olympics are just a post X games filler
-
Just interested in the hockey. Exciting stuff - looking forward to Canada vs Russia :)
-
I think I'm one of the only people that likes the winter olympics better than summer.. :aok
-
I like them both the same
-
I love the winter more than the summer games
-
Looks like they already sent home over 30 athletes for doping, thats gotta suck getting there then having to go home, but I guess they deserve it.
-
The X Games have pretty much made the winter olympics a dull runner up.

Fudgums, sorry about what is going to happen to the US curling team. :D GO Canada !

Not 100% correct. 30 athletes were not given the ok to go to the olympics so they were not sent home.
Gonna be some late nights for me as there is a 9 hour time difference. Going to watch all the alpine events, snowboarding and a couple of others.

Not a bad guess for the top 3 spots but the only one im sure will be up there this time is the USA. Canda, Germany and Russia will also be high up on the list. Finland is an outsider.

-1. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the X-games... but show me the event where people are hitting 90 MPH with nothing but 2 boards between them and the maker. Also, the only commentators I can't stand more than Olympic ones are X-games ones....Brah.

Sure did. Devastating for the country, since they only sent a handful of competitors. Our company's Georgia office is understandably upset. :( Unfortunately I'm not sure he will be the only major injury (or god forbid, fatality) on that course.

So are they shipping snow yet from the southern US to Vancouver where they need it?
Anyways... 4 years ago a buddy of mine ran a Winter Olympics pool... yes we actually picked teams/individuals to win every single Golly-geen event. I thought it would be fun but by the time I did research and made my pick in the 20th event I wanted to kill him for making me agree to bet on those Olympics. It took something like 6 hours to pick them all, and most of the time someone I'd never heard of won the event anyways. Needless to say, he's either not doing it this time or I wasn't invited to the pool. Either way is fine with me, lol.

Theres a couple events I'm looking at to bet, like snowboarding, I already took Apollo Ohno tomorrow for Speed Skating.
-
Only events I ever watch in the Winters are the skiing, none of the rest interests me. The Summers, however, I would watch 24/7 if I didn't have to work or sleep at some point.

My 1 key gave out. ;^)

Nilson, I see your from Norge? That from the region up North or from the small town in Oklahoma by the same name? The national TV broadcast gave a big "look out!" for the Norge up North.
-
Think the US got some more. Might need a big sack to haul them home.
-
Canada still hasnt gotten a gold.
-
I guess you all heard about the Luger who died. I am really surprised they showed the video of his crash on the news. Sad.

Last night, our house was the loudest on the lake during the Short Track Speed skating with Apollo Ohno and J.R. Celski. When the Koreans wiped out on the last turn of the last lap, we went insane. Partially for Apollo, but more so for J.R. After all, 19, rebounding from a major injury, and at the Olympics? Way to freaking go! The Men's Biathlon this afternoon wasn't too interesting for us; we decided that it would be more interesting had they done the distance without skis.
-
That sounds interesting without skies. Maybe give them a baseball bat too.
-
Canada still hasnt gotten a gold.
Well, now we do ;)
Yay Canada!! :rock
