I'm going to miss the Olympics when it's over. Just glad we are ahead of the Germans on the Gold medals. Hope we increase the count!

You can find many clips of the Olympics at www.nbcolympics.com. That is how I'm getting ALL my coverage of the Olympics.

Here is a link to her short program...... very emotional!

Thanks, Sweet Pea! I've been going to this link all week and it won't let me watch anything. It says "video loading" and then it says, "video error".

If you are viewing it and I can't see it, something must be wrong on my end. I just don't know what it could be or what to do about it.

Have you got "Etch-a-sketch" model 2.0? You do need the upgrade to view it!

I had that same problem with almost all the video links that Ron posted - however, I haven't had any problems with the NBC site - except that since I don't subscribe to cable or satellite TV, it won't let me watch anything live. Nor will it let me watch a full replay - only the clips that they choose to post. Doesn't really seem fair - since I do use a cable provider for my internet service.....

That's probably why I couldn't access it. We got rid of our satellite several years ago. Same old stuff being repeated.

I am so happy that Rochette won a medal even though our American girls didn't get one. I was afraid she was going to place fourth, but she made it.

You & me both, I was in tears after her skate very proud of her & admiring her "Courage, "Tenacity," & "steadfastness" all of which embodies a true Olympic spirit.

Even though the Americans did not medal tonight they did none to shabby in the Medal count 32!

Shaun White the American Snowboarder supposedly left Vancouver after his Gold Medal win, or did he/she?

Some of them spend 5-6 hours a day 7 days a week in training!!!!

When was the last time any of us had a 6 hour prayer meeting, or a 3 day fast?

Ron, You raise a very good point. I often think about how people dedicate themselves to something. When I started playing the violin at age 8 I would practice 3 hours everyday. I personally make it a point to check myself that I do not show more excitement about sports and such more than I do for the things of God. Yet, when we fast it is not something that we publicize. But, then I'm sure your question was meant for self-reflection.
