      Just mentioning Nascar in this thread should get you disciplined with the cat-o-nine tails.

          Yes. They race on the same course as the snowboard cross (the Lindsey Jacobellis experience). It looks somewhat similar to a motocross race. Four on the course is exciting, but its very ungainly, especially on skis. There are times where they go up a hill and are close to a dead stop as they arc over the jump. Other jumps are such that they can't take them at full speed, so an Olympic skier snowplows to slow down before the jump. They look like kids at some points.

          Its exciting but very weird.

            • Usually the host country does very well in the Winter Olympics because they get to train on the various venues more than the visiting countries. Canadians have to be disappointed with what has happened so far.

                He was pretty darn good when he was with the N J Devils too!

                • Switzerland beats Belarus in men's hockey in a shootout following a 10 minute scoreless overtime period. Weird. Would be like deciding a baseball game with a homerun hitting contest. Still, I can understand in a tournament like this needing to avoid a 4 hour hockey game.

                  • The Winter Olympics are kind of like Summer Sitcoms.
                    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

                    • A friend was up there for the openeing weekend. Wilco played that weekend.....it rained all the time and the crowds have been unbearable from what he said. Waited for an hour and a half to get some food between rounds of the moguls.....

                      After lunch the players lounged about the hotel patio watching the surf fling white plumes high against the darkening sky. Clouds were piling up in the west… Vince Lombardi frowned.

                        Isn't that how the NHL is doing it now? And didn't they also discuss making the OT 4 on 4?

                        • It is done that way in the NHL in the regular season, but not in the playoffs. What made this different was that it was an elimination game. Just seemed like an odd way for a team to be eliminated. Still, they probably have no choice. Overtime hockey games sometimes go on for quite a while.

                            I heard the crowds were so rowdy they stopped alcohol sales early for a few days in Vancouver.......7pm
