I love the Winter Olympics more than Summer games. I think Ski Jumping is one of the best sports to watch, it is simply sensational. Hoping Janne Ahonen wins it. Will also be glued to the Curling, Skeleton Luge, Bobsleigh, pretty much all the skiing events etc etc..
Unlucky Janne, only 4th in the Normal jump - you've a better chance on the large hill next week..

9th and 45th place finishes. 9th is the best finish ever. USA has never won any kind of medal in biathlon.

That was an exciting race. Kind of fun when guys get head starts (based on their ski jump) and others have to run them down from behind.
