The Olympics

[Mike Olbinski]

So is anyone watching?

I was bummed when Apolo Ono fell last night...he was doing so well, he didn't need first place to advance...it's too bad...he's one of my favorites.

Great to see Shaun White win the gold though, he looks like a good kid.

I'm watching. I love the Winter Olympics.

I still have to figure out what the television schedule is. I want to watch live events, but have to find a schedule of times and channels.

Has our hockey team made it there yet? I heard nine of them were stranded due to the storm on the east coast.

Yeah it was a bummer seeing Apollo not even make it to the finals last night. The short track is an exciting event to watch. The Shaun White interview with Bob Costas was hilarious...how he's hoping the gold medal will help with "the babes" hehehe.

I got into the woman's snowboarding today while I was at the gym. I was stunned at the sport of it and a few of the ladies did not look that bad in the face either....

Good stuff... Good stuff... USA won silver and gold too

trying to get together with Cohen.



I love the olympics.

Although I feel so bad for those guys who finish in 4th by the smallest of margins, like in the mens nordiac combined, where the 4th place guy, after 9 mi, finished 1 inch from 3rd.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

The opening ceremony put me to sleep but I've watched some of the events.

 

[SouthNZoneFan]

um, spoiler alert!

Can't imagine you guys aren't checking the medal list on the internet.....

Sorry though..

 

[Kel Varnsen]

It's kind of cool to see people you haven't seen in four years on tv.

Did anyone see Sarah Hughes?

 

[Kel Varnsen]

Women's speed skating is on!

The Coyotes have put the entire Olympic hockey schedule on their site, complete with television coverage info:

Pretty cool thing for them to do.

Looks like the US men's hockey team won't be making it to the finals this time as they could only manage a 3-3 tie with Latvia.

 

[AZZenny]

Been watching whenever I'm home -- love the Olympics. And it always moves me when super-cool gold medal athletes start to well up with tears on the medal stands.

 

[NEZCardsfan]

USA tying Latvia was a major dissappointment.

Also, knowing that American Idol is crushing the Olympics in the ratings is a little sad.

 

[Renz]

The guy with the coolest name in the Olympics is Dutch speedskater Jan Bos. I wish my name was Jan Bos.

How do you pronounce that?

Is it Jan as in the girls name Jan or Jan as in "yan" like in Yani.

And is Bos as in boz or bows?

It's pronounced "Yahn Boss". Very cool.

If you win a silver medal, it looks like you're wearing a cd around your neck.

USA vs. Finland NOW

USA vs. Finland NOW

We are not so good at this game.

 

[arthurracoon]

We are not so good at this game.

Sooo close.

Those two 5-on-3's killed us. We almost held on to the first one though.


Russia and Canada now 1-0 Russia.

3rd period

 

[AZZenny]

I thought the Games were good -- could have used a little less Michelle Kwan and Bode Miller melodrama, but all in all, NBC did a decent job.

LOVE Bob Costas.

Going to Vancouver in 2010!
