Might as well start a thread on the Olympics.... who's watching? what are you watching? predictions?

Good to see the Great One light the flame last night.

I'll probably watch a bit of it here and there, but if anything, it'll be Men's Hockey.

Russia's really stacked this year, so I'm going to say Russia v Canada for the gold.

I really enjoyed the opening ceremony, watched it really early 0430 in the morning here in Europe (yes, I do get up early

). Impressive, not only from the coreograaaphic POV, but also from the technical one, most of the time I had no clue how they managed to raise structures and let them vanish in an instant. Good show (if a bit long).

I'll watch Apollo Ohno......and other than that I really don't care.

I'll probably watch a few events, but I really don't have a good feeling for us/Norway this year..

The Nordic Combined yesterday was a disaster due to very unstable wind conditions in the Ski Jump.
Moan from Norway had to start +2min late in the 10km and ended up as #9, 35secs behind the winner.
He could have easily won if they had allowed him to jump again

I was sorry to hear about the tragic death of the the Gerogian Luge racer, but I wish everyone a enjoyable games.

Sevens · February 15th, 2010

That was a very tragic thing to happen. Its really kind of put a damper on the whole games.

I'm not a big figure skating fan, but I did watch some of the pairs last night, and wasn't at ALL surprised and the scoring. The Russians are expected to win even if they fall.

I would really like to see that Chinese couple win tonight. Shen and Zhau. After four Olympics and 18 years of skaing together, I think they deserve it.

Crappy day again...

The Silver in Men's Downhill was ok, but should have been a Gold medal..

Bronze in Ladies' 10 km Free was ok as well, but she really is better then that.
But the men's 15 km Free just now was a complete disaster... Should't be possiblet to be this bad in that event..
