Is it just me, or do there seem to be a lot of tantrums going on this time?

(Re: Russian skater, Netherlands speed skater, US downhill skier....)

That's unfortunate.....

Or drive a bobsled.

And I want to try curling. I think it's interesting.

I can see it!

Maybe one day they will allow women to compete in this sport--considering a woman actually holds the title for the longest jump--on the very jump she is not allowed to compete on in the Olympics.

(love the image! tiara even!)

YAY! Canada beat the US in hockey (women's). Definitely was an awesome game and a heartbreaker for the US.

I didn't get to see the whole game, but from what I did see, it looked like a good game. I can't say that I'm not a little bummed, but good job to the Canadian women!

I played in a hockey tournament sometime in '98. My coach and the other team's coach were both good friends with one of the women on the US team since they had grown up playing with/against each other. She showed up at the game with her gold medal from the games in Nagano. She had the biggest smile on her face as she spoke to both teams. It was pretty cool to see, and I'm sure the Canadian women are wearing that same grin tonight.

So that means we're even, right?

Men's hockey - - - US
Women's hockey - - - Canada

Men's hockey hasn't played yet for medals (the Medal games will be on the 28th). And I expect it will be Canada.
