I enjoyed the women's skating very much last night. It is incredible that some that are so young, are so talented. I do not understand the scoring of women's figure skating, but I just know that they are so awesome on the ice.
It's Winter Olympic time

I’ve got to see quite a lot of Men’s and Women’s Curling this time around, which I enjoy (although I had to get up at 4:00 am to see it on occasion). I also got into a discussion on the Olympics yesterday, and the topic of whom are your 5 "favorite" (not best) Olympians of all time from your country. After thinking about it I came up with Jim Thorpe, Jesse Owens, Mark Spitz, Mary Lou Retton and Bruce Jenner from the USA.
We lost to Sweden in ice hockey. I wasn't watching it, I heard it.
I enjoyed the skating last night but I agree the Russian girl's score was surprisingly high. I thought that both the Korean and Italian women outperformed her.
I know, that stinks.......sorry Jojo.
Thanks Out of Order. And I always thought we Finns was good in ice hockey, now the truth came out.
I think you guys still play for the bronze medal against the loser of US vs. Canada.
There is a widespread, virulent and fast moving strain of flu hitting Canada as we speak. By about 11:59 local time nobody will be at work.
The Toronto City Council voted to allow bars to open at 7am to accommodate hockey fans. And no Rob Ford was not the instigator. It has been done before.

Oh OK. Have to follow what's going on.
What an awesome hockey game. I wasn't sure I was going to survive the last 2 minutes.
My husband was working from home and on a conference call, and he put it on speaker phone.
I kept quiet through the entire game...until those last two minutes. Every now and then I'd let out a short scream. The last 10 seconds were loud and he was glaring at me. Finally he says "as you can hear I'm working from home and my wife is a hockey fan".

Note to mod: if this is upside down please flip it for me if you can. On my iPad pictures look right....but sometimes are not.
How early is it? I had originally thought the bronze game was at 7 and gold at 10. Apparently not. (Personally I think it's unfair the US doesn't get a day off between games.). So, is our game at 7 tomorrow?
I'll probably be up by then anyway. Sleeping in for me is 7:30.
Sorry Americans, we was better this time in hockey. I still don't watch it. Just hear from my parents TV ever time they scream when we get
a goal.
a goal.
I know the ice dance medals have been given out but I can't find a video of it. If anybody comes across a clip, post a linky?
Yes, it was. Another Olympic medal in hockey for Finland. I was pretty disappointed after the defeat against Sweden, but with all the NHL players, the Olympics is such a competitive tournament, that a medal is a great accomplishment.
I feel bad for team USA. They got a great team, but had some serious problems with scoring, two games without goals.
I think Canada is going to win gold, easily even.
