The skeleton luge is pretty interesting, watching hot chicks hurdling at 78 MPH head first on a piece of plastic is intriguing, definitely more interesting that Curling, which i will never understand is played on primetime

US Olympic Skier Calls on World Leaders to End Global Warming and Save Snow Sports

Kicking and gliding on snow is my life....

I’m not an environmental science major, I’m not a scientist, in fact I didn’t even go to college, but just like most Americans, I know that as the snow dwindles so does our water supply, our food, our health and our economy...
Healing the planet and stopping the rise of the oceans just wasn't enough.

Ohh and I'm really intrigued by the biathlon, those fools are shooting a target 50m away the size of a grapefruit in standing position and an elevated heart rate.

The fact that some of these athletes are winning 10ths and 100ths of a second shows how close the competition is.

They have no one to blame for the loss, but themselves. Play not to lose, you lose.

Wow, shits about to get serious.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports...-gold/5643143/

Judges from the United States and South Korea, as well as two other Western judges, were not chosen by draw to work the women's long program after being on the women's short program panel the night before. Two of their replacements were Ukrainian Yuri Balkov, who was kicked out of judging for a year after being tape-recorded trying to fix the Nagano ice dancing competition by a Canadian judge, and Alla Shekhovtseva, a Russian judge who is married to the Russian federation's president. Other Eastern Europeans were on the panel as well.

That hurt for Women's Hockey, but they gotta keep there heads high for South Korea. Played valiantly--

Men's Hockey though, we have to win.

This guy knows what he is talking about.

The US played a bad 3rd, gave the game away, and then took stupid penalties.

They have nobody to blame but themselves.

It's unfortunate, but at that level, you shouldn't give away a 2 goal lead that late in the game, and then play undisciplined hockey in OT.

Do you even watch hockey? Clearly the US team was out coached, even a casual fan can see that.
