But her ego may have cost us a chance at another medal.

I think I lost interest in the winter Olympics a couple of olympiads ago when all that was on was figure skating WARMUPS and there was an actual hockey game being played in a little picture in picture window at the top of the screen.

When NBC learns how to cover an olympics I'll probably start paying attention again.

get cbc and cbc french

I went to HS with two girls on the women's hockey team. One of them, Sarah Parsons, was in my grade and is just filthy. In HS she was a 6 year varsity player and is already dominating the games as an 18 year old.

edit: Damn, watch the highlights of their game today and see what I'm saying.

Bah, Michelle Kwan is overrated. So are most olympic figureskaters for that matter. Real Olympic athletes don't let a minor injury sideline them, they fight through it and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

There is a reason why Kerri Strug has a gold medal and Michelle Kwan doesn't. Kerri wanted it bad enough to keep competing when she got hurt, and Kwan didn't.

halfpipe=:thumbsup:

 

[spidey07]

I wish they would quit telling me who won what before it is aired.

Either way, the height of some of White's airs I witnessed in practice were pretty sick.

 

[Azndude2190]

Yeah...we pretty much have snowboarding in the bag...so i'm not surprise

 

[spidey07]

Well we did invent it. You'd think we'd be good at it.

I remember when they FINALLY let it in the olympics. I think there are other events as well - downhill/slalom, maybe boarder cross?

Definately a young sport. I recall not being allowed on the mountain back in the mid 80s. Now half of the tickets sold are boarders.

 

[realsup]

I wonder why people are not complaining about all the flag waving.

 

[spidey07]

Damn...Shawn White going big. Huge first air.

 

[spidey07]
