USA vs Russia in the Ice Hockey this Saturday night might be good to watch. I've never watched a game before.

Torah Bright sure whines a lot. She was whining about the course before she even saw it. If you Google "news torah bright" half of the headlines are her whining, the other half about her losing.

The downhill skiing is pretty damn cool.

I pretend to watch the figure skating with wifey for the artistic and technical elements.

The coverage from channel 10 here in Australia could be better...lots of replays during live actions!

If you go online with 10, they have channel 1, 10 and 6 extra channels showing repeats and live stuffs. Best ever winter cover for Aussie TV.

I hope he wasn't filming the men's slopestyle or half pipe. The guys on those cameras we far king sh!thouse. I couldn't believe the atrocity of the footage. And the cable camera was crap.
Can't believe they spent $51b or whatever it was and there was camera work like that. Oh my god.

It's funny, I was in Skelleftea (Sweden) for work last year and noticed at least one of their key players was Canadian.

^ It's not surprising, lot's of guys who don't make the NHL end up playing in Europe. Go where the money is I guess.

It's a bit warm there for anything to do with snow. The 55 inch HD TV shows just how terrible and slushy everything is...

Don't worry, next will be Abu Dhabi to organize Winter Olympic, I heard.
Skiing will be just down the sand dunes.

she is pretty but has mercedies corby teeth, which is only accentuated by her white mouthguard that she leaves in.

But she's a mormon which means she's nuttier than a snickers

watching women do extreme sports is usually pretty painfull though. It's like watching a white man dance or a newborn girrafe trying to take it's first steps. All uncoordinated and legs, no amplitude or style.

Great. I'll just go and watch the figure skating for the, uh, technical aspects.

Gee. It goes for 3.5 hours. I'll just fast forward...

Oh.
