I saw the video where the Georgian guy got into the luge accident. Flew off track and hitting a pillar at 98mph. Man....

I have it on now. This is beautiful.

She has them in spades.

Then South Korea would never have a shortage of breasts ever again.

Didn't get to see the opening ceremonies... A lot of people were watching them but I totally forgot. I managed to get reception with my old rabbit ears, though! The picture is suckish but now I don't have to trek to the common rooms! I'm not much a fan of the winter games but I think I'll be watching quite a bit of them.

well so far, we have 4 medals. A Gold and bronze in the womens mogules and a silver and bronze in the mens short track 1500 for speed skating, which was awesome by the way! The koreans were set to sweep and the 2nd and 3rd place guy took each other out so the 2 americans got 2nd and 3rd instead.

OH MY GOD THAT WAS AMAZING.

The Korean team almost took ALL the medals in speed-skating, I was so shocked when they fell RIGHT on the final turn! It was like divine providence for the American team. XD

I'm just watching figure skating. Just saw the first pair from China...figure skating just blows me away. I always wanted to learn it, but I only skated for the first time this winter xD But I didn't fall, so maybe it's fate?

Haven't really watched the olympics, but I did read an article on Canada's absolute annihilation of Slovakia. Really? 18-0?

I got sucked in to watching the Olympics last night. Figure skating was meh (the judges are bribed--3rd place for a Russian pair when the guy fell once and blew a landing?), but the nordic combined and the moguls were awesome! I thought it was neat that the Canadians took a home gold (knocking out the smug Australian jerk) and the American who took bronze is from Montana.

When it comes to speed skating--I don't know about fate so much as karma. I was watching a brief thing on Apolo Ohno and how his first gold at SLC came when a South Korean skater tried to shove him out of the way in taking the lead, then acted like a spanked child when he was caught.

Well, I watched Ladies' Mogul Freestyle skiing, which was amazing to see. Today I watched Men's downhill. Holy crap, they go fast! It was amazing. And I watched a bit of cross country and then the very end of the snowboarding. I'm watching a lot more than I planned to.

And congrats to the Canadian gold medalist, because this is their first gold medal on home soil, so said the add on CTV.

I don't imagine many of you would be up on this, but have you SEEN the Norwegian mens curling team's pants? http://www.ctvolympi...wsid=41700.html Absolutely hilarious. Go for it Norway.

I'm addicted to all of it. I have no clue why. I can watch it all day.

My favorite is the short track speed skating. Apolo Ohno <3

I really wish that NBC didn't suck so hard. NBC's coverage is awful when you compare it to CTV up in Canada. They are showing more live, more competitors from more countries with fewer human interest story segments. In addition they are streaming every second of every game for free online, of course the IOC and NBC are making sure us Americans can't watch.

Hah i was watching it last night... Parents come home

Dad "Whatcha watching"
Me "Ice Skaters falling on their butts"
Dad "hahahahah"
Me *points at tv* "See, just fell.... again...."

It was amusing and then my parents decided to make up their own commentary to the ice skating competitions which proved hilarious and mean
