Sorry Aamodt missed out the bronze in the men's downhill. That French dude Antoine Deneriaz really kicked the others' butts. What an upset!

Yeah, was actually pretty pleased to see the French guy winning, even though it meant Aamodt lost his bronze. Much less pleasing was the fact that Aamodt hurt his knee and will have to take it easy the rest of the Olympics. :-\

The Swedes are doing well both in Men's and Women's Curling. Go, Sweden!
 I think they are among the few Golds we can expect in this Olympiad. Unless of course Snowboarders do well. |

Everyone who's talking politics, quit ranting and get over it. This is a happy thread! Happy, happy happy!
Happy: The United States of America has 4 gold medals and 2 silver so far! Chad Hedrick won the 5000m-speedskating race; Joey Cheek got gold for 500 m-speedskating; Shaun White "The Flying Tomato" won gold and Daniel Kass got silver in the Men's Halfpipe; Hannah Teter won gold and Gretchen Bleiler got silver in Women's Halfpipe. GO TEAM USA!

Yeah but people keep getting hurt - I just saw on the news earlier, a skier ate it, and so did this one girl in the luge.
But you're right, we ought to keep the vibe happy in this thread!! Hear, hear. There's this one couple who ice-skates together; apparantly they are from around here in L.A. somewhere. Lovebird iceskaters. I don't know any names, maybe you guys know?

1) hmmmmmmmm
2) "cool runnings" is a great olympic movie for anyone 3) I'm surprised by the number of injuries sustained by so many at Turin, some even before their event. Perhaps its due to the fact that the snow only materialized two weeks before the opening?

Yes, cool runnings is good. 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics.
There still a Jamaican boblsled team? - and are they any good? If someone does this research, I'll give them a virtual pat on the back. edit did my own research: Quote:

Ah, why can't we get gold in something? The norwegian media was sure we would have 7 golds just the first two days. Like my friend said yesterday "I don't care for anything other than gold". While I don't think he has right, when we take so many medals it has to be something, but why can't it be gold!?
Oh well. I'll suppose we'll be doing fine this year, too.

Sweden won both the men's and women's team sprint today. Both wins came within 25 minutes. Sweden's first medals and they're both golden
C'mon Norway, you can't allow Sweden to have more gold medals than you

Never before since international competition in women's hockey began has a non-North American team made it to the final of a big championship. The US and Canada have dominated the sport completely and have always faced off in the finals.
But not in Torino! Sweden beat the US in the semis after a nerve thrilling shootout. This is like our own Miracle on ice
