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

The Americans did well at the games, good for them!

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.

Von was touted as the one to beat & with her brused shin & still going out & wining Gold, well you can not deny her that.

She's already involved in a lot of stuff - advertising, acting. I wish someone that didn't already have the opportunities be given a chance.

A lot of people said the Asian girl from American, 6th place, should have been given better points. I didn't see it, so I don't know.

Most of it seems to be judged very fairly.

She did great! I loved when she fell down, after her run, and was screaming! LOL! Loved how she teared up at the National Anthem. It always gives me chills! Not as much as the Holy Ghost, but still gives me chills. I love my country!!!!!

One media guy (an American?) suggested if all of the events where judging played a part in the decision were taken out of the equation the Americans only had 10 or so medals at first past the post.

I dislike the judging system they have not because it didn't favour Canada, but because it can not be fully trusted.
