I'm pulling for the old US of A, but I'd like to see the Sweeds, Czechs, or the Canadians win it as well. It should be a good Olympics this year.
Scott:
I can't get in to the Olympics at all
One thing I do wonder though...how do any of those snowboarders pass their drug tests?
Morgbug:
LOL, remember the first snowboard gold medal? A Canadian won that and no way was he free. I think he tested positive for marijuana too, but blamed it on accidental inhalation from those using around him ::)
I like the Olympics and try to watch it when I can, but man, some of the sports are distinctly European. But once the hockey gets rolling, there should be some awesome games there on both the men's and women's sides. The US women are pretty awesome and the presumed final between Canada and the US should be downright nasty. Men's hockey is more nerve wracking because we should have a shot at winning, but we may not.
That said, I'm hoping to make it to some events out in Vancouver in 2010.

:o
And once more for good measure :o
You wanted another miracle on ice? You got it. But I don't think it'll make you happy and I'm darn pleased I put in the word 'presumed'. :o Maybe they ought to run the score up more :P
And in equally bizarre news, Canada actually has more medals than the US at this point :o Youse guys have more gold though and I expect as the games wear on you'll pass us.
Oh, you should try to find highlights of skeleton. Those guys are nuts!

Skeleton or as I like to call it - "C4 Paralysis Waiting to Happen".
Sure, I'm just going to RUN AS FAST AS I CAN for 40metres (on ice no less), then , jump on a tiny sled and zoom head first at 70-80mph downhill on an icy track... where's that crazy smilie when you need it.
