And that spirit would be unfair judging based solely on prearranged winners?

At least Canada had the guts to stand up and get something done about it. I remember the same whining 4 years ago and nothing was done about it.

By far the coolest event, the men's snowboarding half-pipe competition and watching the US team take all 3 medals

1.Scott Hamilton doing the back flip in the closing ceremony.
2. Sarah Hughes winning the Gold. She had the best skate of ALL of the women. Hands down. I just hope she dosen't quit like Tara Lipinski it's nice to have a fresh face on top.

The hockey!

By the way: NBC coverage blew! I swear I missed about every faceoff.

<< I swear I missed about every faceoff. >>




NBC has to get money to broadcast. Olympic hockey does not have a red hat (guy who holds up play until TV gets back from a break). Hence, they take their 30 second break whenever they can, and sometimes they can't get back fast enough.

Sucks to be us.

What!? No votes for the curling competitions?

 

[jonnyjack]

does anyone know what day Alisa Camplin (the hot australian skiier) was on leno? i think they play the reruns of last week's episodes at 2am this week...so if anyone knows for sure the day and if it was last week then post here, thanks!

 

[goog]

Obviously Canada's double gold in hockey
Marc Gagnon's double gold (500m & relay) on Sat. night
Pairs FS gold(s)
That Shea guy winning gold in Skeleton two weeks after losing his grandpa who also won gold.

and yes that Aussie Alisa Camplin winning aerials, sweet
edit: oh and Canada won silver and bronze in that event to make it even better.

goog, I think you left a few Canadian medals out of your favorite moments...

My favorites in no particular order...

Derek Parra winning speed skating. He really let it flow at the medal ceremony, very touching.
Jim Shea winning Skeleton
Women's bobsled
Men's bobsled
Ohno and short track speed skating. (A sport that isn't on TV enough.)
Sarah Hughes winning Gold.
Men's Hockey (USA vs Russia (both games) and even the final vs Canada)
KISS in the closing ceremonies.
Men's Half-pipe
All speedskating

<< Simon Amman winning two ski jump medals. His attempt at English was pretty hilarious, but I'm not sure I saw a more excited athlete >>

Haha, his olympic scream/yell was off the wall.
My favorite moment was when Sara Hughes took the gold with her flawless (or close to it) performance in the long program. Maybe Michelle Kwan's ego learned a little something this year.

<< 2.Tristan Gale winning gold and then puking... hahaha... she so cute. >>

what event was this? >>


The skeleton

 

[HOWITIS]

LOL, you're just as bad AU Tiger.

<< One of my favorite moments is a corollary to Aquaman's "hot women Olympians." I particularly enjoyed seeing the incredibly hot Aussie freestyle skiier, Alisa Camplin. I unfortunately missed her interview on Leno. But they definitely seemed to be focusing on her during the closing ceremonies last night (one interview, another time on camera, plus they showed several clips of her competing and on the medal stand). She might have been the highlight of the Olympics for me.

Concur on these two, especially Alisa Campion of Aussie. I think she is the BABE of this olympic.

 

[weirdichi]

fave part? When it was over. ^_^

 

[4824guy]

Sarah Hughes winning the gold in figure skating for the USA.

IT was a exciting womens skating competetion. I really enjoyed it, I am trying to find the judges scoring markes because I believe the Russian judge gave the Russian girl a 5.9 after several mistakes and Sara a much lower mark, and she did a perfect routine.

 

[CocaCola5]

One of the Women's Cross Country ski event where the Italian lady fell down then had to changed to new skis then came back to win from last place, simply unreal.

 

[DieselUV]

When Christina Aguilera performed at the closing ceremony. She's never looked better. I never thought she looked good either.

That and any short track speed skating(especially the relays) were my highlights...that and the fact Belarus even PLAYED for a medal was amazing. Good games
