downhill used to be my #1 "i wouldn't do that" sport. skicross replaced it.

the womens ski-cross on now -
i could watch this all night long.. ridiculously great!!

If you could do that, then you would deserve the Gold, Silver and Bronze medals.

I think they have round robin playoffs to determine actual medal play, but that's a guess.

herkhorse 02-24-2010 03:10 PM

Curling is just glorified shuffleboard. Those rocks cost 3200.00 each.

Dude, I have like 12 channels. Besides, blame it on Amelia. Everytime I tried to change the channel, she cried. :D

It's the only olympic channel I get. And I didn't watch it live, I saw the replays earlier today. I'm too worn out to stay up late this week.

Canadian Curlers through to the final :)

ddthetide 02-27-2010 08:44 AM

USA-1 bobsled in first place after 2 runs. running for GOLD for the first time in 60 years.

GPK 02-27-2010 08:53 AM

Wonder how much Costas is being paid by Just For Men?

hoovesupsideyourhead 02-27-2010 09:09 AM

APOLLO GOT DQED BUT THE WINNER SHOULD HAVE ALSO..THAT GUY DIDNT FALL WITHOUT HELP.WE NEED FATMAN ANALISIS..:rolleyes: :tro:

AeWingnut 02-27-2010 02:34 PM

too long a read for me but I don't care about the olympics
 
Well done, Canada, you Own The Odium

It is hard to say whether Canada’s Own The Podium programme has been a bigger disaster in terms of sport or public relations. Gold medal in both categories, I think. The idea was for Canada to emerge as gracious hosts of the Winter Olympics and glorious winners as well.

Alas, the Canadians have come across as a bunch of mean-spirited, chippy, unsporting losers. Things have come to a pretty pass when you find yourself rooting for the United States. But I really have been cheering for stars and stripes rather than maple leaves. The Canadian shenanigans in Vancouver have alienated the entire world.

USA-1 "The Night Train" wins GOLD for the first time in 62 years! thank you bodine sled project!

MaTH716 02-27-2010 08:08 PM

Good-bye Curling, next time I will see you it will be 2014 in Russia.

ddthetide 02-28-2010 06:05 PM

if there is 1 guy sitting with his feet up and big smile on his face, proud of his accomplishment it's geoff bodine. it took about 10 years but the Bo-Dyn sled project paid off in GOLD. he jumped in and helped give the USA bobsledders American made equipment. :tro: :tro: :tro:
