I was addicted to the womens moguls today!! I was surprised that woman got 1st in the end, I was so sure Kari Traa was gonna that! She was great!! The winners skis were a bit messy in the middle course!

I love the Winter Olympics! I prefer them to the summer ones actually!

I knew she was going to win, she won the qualifier too and she was being safe there.

And why the 80's music when the sportsmen and women were coming out?

I love the winter olympics.

All of it.

My favorite part of that is when they started playing the Rocky theme song. It was during one of the presentations.

I found it rather funny when they played YMCA. I was kind of disapointed they didn't all the actions. Apparently in the rehearsal they did.

I wish I could have seen that, it would have stayed with me to the grave!

The Olympics rock. My favorite event in the Winter Games is ice skating, especially the women's ice skating. That's one sport I would love to do if I had some more balance.

Rumor has it that Michelle Kwan might pull out of the Olympics. I read online today that she aggravated her groin injury today at practice and had to leave early. Has anyone else heard anything similar? I was hoping she'll pull through and finally win an Olympic gold medal.

I think it was the unadventurous first jump that put me off the winner, I'd already seen much cooler moves!

anyone else see the womans canada vs italia game? the italy keeper was great in the first 2 quarters, dont get why the sub-d her.
i plan to watch the hockey every night now. and if i get energetic at some point, try it out for myself

and if anyone watching bbc tonight saw the short piece about the british skier and his family, i would like to say that we are not all that strange up in our little corner. and that his bagpiping sucked.

I missed it too, but that was because I forgot it was on. I was a bit annoyed with myself when I figured out it was on! Whoops.

I won't miss London 2012

Kate, bagpiping is not great at the best of times lol! J/k
