Indeed!
She only took up the sport quite recently though. All her training was towards Vancouver in 2010. It just all came together for her now. She is just lovely!
Her boyfriend, who competes in the same sport, didn't do so well today. I hope it doesn't cause problems. ;)
I don't understand why anyone that has won a gold medal would run back to the states before the games end.
Mr Tomato Head was on the Jay Leno show a few days after he won... :confused:
I would stay until the Torino Police Department escorted me to the airport.
-----------------------------
I also loved the excuse by the snowboarder who did the trick and crashed.
5 minutes after the race?
The wind blew me over.
24 hours after the race???
I did a trick and fell....But, I blame the spectators, I did it for them. ;)
--------------------------------
And Mr Shani Davis.
Months before the Games?
I'll skate in the pursuit!
A few days before the pursuit race.
I'll skate for myself, no one helped me get here, so I don't owe it to anyone else.
I wonder why they call it an Olympic TEAM?? :confused:

I guess you missed the start of the Daytona 500 then Richard.Quote:

Jay Leno was there too to drive the pace car!
I'm sure that the medal winners will be back in Italy for the closing ceremonies. :)
Hey! Any Danish people on this board????? ;) Your curlers only needed to hold out for one more end against those Canadians, and our curlers would have gone through! Hurrumph! Was that too much to ask???
But then us Canadians would have been so sad because the Curlers didn't get through...and the fact that the Candian womens rink is from Calgary makes it better, home town girls...then again half of the Canadian team trains in Calgary...hmmmQuote:

Who's televising them 24/7? I don't know how many times in the past week that I've tried NBC, USA, CNBC, and MSNBC to find no Olympic coverage of ANYTHING. :eek: I guess maybe I should see when the programming is on rather than just try random luck.Quote:

Today's google is cute with the little curling stones. I normally watch a Canadian station for Olympic coverage because it's more up to the minute than USA station.Quote:

I hope to god that the Olympics become more 'amateur'.
Joey Cheek donated 40K of his prize money to charity, for his gold and silver medals.
It was reported that his donation inspired a Canuck to take 10K out of her personal savings (and american gold was worth 25k, silver 15 and bronze 5)
and donate it...so far there has been over 400 k donated to that same charity.
The American hockey pro were ticked because they had to take care of their hotel rooms and travel...that distracted them from playing well!
Oops, I forgot that those same hockey pros thrashed the Olympic village in Nagano after they lost....
And after the Tomato win I got tired of seeing the same film clip of him asking how many babes he could get with it....If he used a little imagination he has his medal... ;)
Poor Bode is gonna be celibate for a while and Poor Linsday will always remembered as the gal who did the trick and lost the gold. Sasha crashed and burned, then Ono made me feel better - He acted like the bronze in the short track final was first, second, third and fourth place.
I love the Olympics, it's the 'characters' that bore me..
We are simply lost without the Olympics! I knew regular TV was awful, but that fact has just been majorly emphasized since the Olympics are over. There is NOTHING to watch on TV! Tuesday night there was an awesome Nova on, but that's it since Sunday night. I think I need to take up a hobby or something to get me away from the TV at night...
...oh, maybe that's why I'm feeling so crappy lately - Olympics withdrawal. ;)
In four short years the Olympics take place up here....about an 1 1/2 hour drive from where I am. Start saving your pennies. :)
