One piece of trivia, if the Americans walk away from the Winter Games with the highest medal count (and it looks like they will) it will be the first time they have done it at the Winter Games since 1932!

I was hearing that the Asian competitors, in the figure skating, are making strides because their frames are smaller and they are able to execute better moves.

Actually, it was meant as a compliment & he was praising the Americans such as Vonn, White, & others.

One thing, keep Weir home next time!

They also train like crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kim Yu Na is that her name? A Korean who is currently first at the games was trained by Brian Orser a Canadian Olympian at the 1988 games in Calgary!

Oh Lord! I was so embarrassed that Weir was representing us!!!!!

Oh, okay, glad it was a compliment. I was getting a little defensive.

Lindsey broke her pinky! Glad she got some medals before she had to get out of the competition. I was a little surprised and disappointed that she made derogatory remarks about Tiger Woods. She should have left that alone.
