The 2006 winter Olympics.

What about the Women's skeleton last night!

YAY! Our first medal!

[RICHARD]

YAY! Our first medal!

And well deserved!!!
I read about her getting money together to compete! Hopefully the purse strings will open!

[Killearn Kitties]

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...

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??

I guess you missed the start of the Daytona 500 then Richard.
Two Olympic medalist snowboarders, Hannah(she's from Vermont!) and Gretchen waved the green flag to start the race.
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...hmmm
