As far as the men's figure skating is concerned, read this:

Stojko is an idiot. He knows what the rules are. I'm a former pro figure skater and I agree with the judges. Plushenko can jump but his overall skating is weak. Lysacek is the better skater; he played by the rules and won.

anyone hear what they said about the female cross country skier from Slovenia? i watched her races after she had that bad crash in warm ups and she looked in pain. but i just heard that she finished, i believe two races after the crash, and won the bronze with a punctured lung and 4 broken ribs.

Bode Miller has sure got his head out of his ass, taking silver in the downhill. (2nd medal of the games)
Glad to see him perform to his potential. Apparently he just needed some time to mature.

I would like to try snowboarding, but with my artificial hip, I can't do anything like that, not even skate any more. I really envy those people who are out there competing in all the events.
