1/2 the competitors in the Olympics shouldn't be there.
Just go to a tiny country with no winter activity and start a ski team of 1. Spend a couple hundred $'s for an outfit and get some used equipment off ebay...

Vonn's legacy gets defined tonite

I think it may of been "West" (the ones that were accused of and eventually found guilty of steroid use), but I still don't want to look it up in case there are pictures...they were scary looking is all I can remember!

.. trying to imagine a run-off to decide the 50km XC pursuit

Just so everyone knows it was the women's 10km individual start skate that was tied for bronze (women, don't have a 50km and there's no more pursuit is XC) But I like the sentiment.
Also on the Nordic front - FIRST GOLD MEDAL EVER!! (Randall & Diggins in the Team Sprint) Okay, its a weird and team event, but this is still a huge deal for the US nordic community, expecailly those of us who know these American XC women directly.

Randall & Diggins
That is truly a breakthrough for US XC !

Norway wins again .. this time in speed skating
Mainly due to Hans Brinker breaking his skate ..

Go USA Women's Hockey !

French skier Kevin Rolland just crashed super hard, gets up and skis out of pipe after medical attention.

Watched for awhile, couple great runs, couple of bad crashes.

Mikaela with a Silver in the slalom portion of the Combined...

Women's hockey was the best thing shown so far.

Worth staying up till AM to see it all.

20 year old goaltender was nails

From mid 3rd period on, that game was played nearly entirely in Canada's zone.
Those gals were obsessed with their task and played their ponytails off

Good day for USA..

They usually are. The USA used to be far at the bottom in the Winter Olympics. It's gotten a lot better and they've moved up a lot the last couple Olympics since they added freestyle skiing and snowboarding events. If it wasn't for these events the USA would be just above Liechtenstein!

USA's best athletes for the most part pass on anything snow/cold related.
