Snowman beating....could be an interesting sport
....while beating a snowman with a shovel
Yup.
I'm pretty disappointed in the American guy, and I have to wonder why they chose him. He's been having serious problems with nerves lately. Did they think think that the Olympic games would be the spot for him to suddenly become calm?
I don't care of Olympic so don't think I'll gonna watch it. Yesterday snowboarding started well for Finland, I only watched snowboarding a little before
work. Hopefully we take some medal or two.

That was a comment. Not a spoiler at all.
Overall, I think they did a good job of the ceremony. And I will not put details....because they would be spoilers.
That man is sexy when he skates. I am routing for Chan, but I do think the position of the top three at the men's team short was correct.
That guy from the U.S. hit the wall pretty damn hard it looked like....snowboarding was awesome to watch, those ladies were awesome.
I'm watching and enjoying everything but bob costas's pink eye.

Its okay, bob is only seeing half of the Olympics
I get too emotional about Olympic Games;
Choking up whenever they announce the winners' names.
Thinking of the sacrifices these kids must have made;
Hours spent in practicing whatever sport they played.
I have gotten dizzy and a little short of breath
When someone jumps off a cliff towards what seems certain death.
Nothing but a board or two - some flimsy bits of wood -
Stands between the athlete crashing hard (the way I would.)
Seeing as their parents, who are watching from the crowd,
Hold their breath and worry while their children do them proud.
My heartbeat's irregular at some ice-dance routines;
At that Russian skater who is barely in her teens.
I get weepy whether someone loses or they win;
When the notes of The Star-Spangled Banner first begin.
Even when you know who wins 'cause they're delaying tape,
Just to watch the Sochi Games you have to be in shape.

I love the Olympics, especially the ceremonies, and call me an old sap but I love seeing countries finding common ground in athletic competition.
LOL - our husband keeps making fun of him. He promised it would be better by the weekend, and yet - still oozing, Bob.
Bob Costas' eye has a Twitter account...oh lordy.
I can’t wait for that most breathtakingly arduous event of all the Winter Olympic Sports... CURLING! That’s the true sporting spirit behind "the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat!"
I like all the winter games except for figure skating which is ALL THAT SEEMS TO BE ON!!!! Come on! Where the ski jumpers and snowboarders at???
I have been watching the mens' moguls and curling today. Yesterday was the hill jumping. I did see some of the short course speed skating too. Can't wait for men's hockey.
Born in Newfoundland and living here, she won the silver medal....yah for Osmond!
Soooooo... Did anyone happen to catch the Dutch skaters taking a triple stage TWICE?
