USA just got our first gold medal in the 5000m speedskating.
I just gotta take a moment for a shout out to my boy Shaun White, who will be an Olympic gold medalist this time tomorrow
Good finish on the Nordic Combined - the race for bronze came down to a difference of two inches.

Did the Womens Hockey team win??? I only saw the first little bit of it

BOYCOTT "I Am Legend"!!!!!
Spoiler alert:
YEAH Shaun White won gold!!!!!!!
It will be on TV tonight. Danny Kass got silver and Mason Aguirre 4th.
Yes, like 6-0. They're playing Germany right now, up 4-0 near the end of the 2nd.Originally Posted by chriscappel

Looked like Ohno was done for in the 1500 speed skating semi-final after a fall. But they disqualified a Belgium that finished just ahead of him, so he got through. There might be just a bit of contraversy there...
I musta missed that one. Did anyone catch why the Norwegian (I think) girl had to withdraw from the pursuit?

Nevermind; looked it up - stomach problems.

Apparently he was in the "B" final - no medal for him, and he almost didn't show up for the race at all. Lots of shenanigans on the short track. That was actually one of the girls that got through to the finals because they disqualified a girl in front of her for "impeding". Basically, she cut off the US girl in a turn and I guess that's illegal.Originally Posted by ouflak
Oh, and the Canadian chick that took the gold on the moguls - Jennifer Heil - is pretty cute.

Short track, whatever.
ouch.
The Flying Tomato!!
Holy cow. I'm not much of a figure skating fan, but did you cath the Chinese pair that took the silver medal? Tried one of those insanely hard moves where he tosses the girl and she does some quadruple-spin thing in the air, but she landed badly and cracked right on her knees. After the coach checked her out she went back out and finished the routine without missing a thing - got a silver medal for it. Probably would have had gold if she hadn't fallen. Damn. Girl is tough. (and hawt)

According to P.T.I. today, Tony and Mike said that Shaun White's next task is to use his gold medal and his "charm" in winning a date with U.S. figure skater Sasha Cohen. Their "5 Good Minutes" guest, USA Today columnist Christine Brennan, recalled that in the '88 Winter Games, Alberto Tomba the skier was trying to win the affection of Katarina Witt and sent her flowers after one of her performances, but Witt gave Tomba the brush-off. Interesting to see if White can snag Sasha.Originally Posted by Ruuuuuufus

Don't know if we are spoiling things here but in the Men's combined Bode Miller was leading after the Downhill and the first Slalom run, but now before he's even run his 2nd slalom run, it's says his disqualified. Anyone heard anything? I'm at work and can't watch live.
Update: found it. He straddled a gate and was DQ'd. That sucks.
Sometimes I think I drink alot, then I see, like, the Motley Crüe behind the music, and realize I'm a huge *****.
less Bode Miller colley, more talk about Jennifer Botterill
