Big Congrats To Canada!!!!!!

Really enjoying the "show"...Apollo's race was awesome at the end! and the girls moguls....

I switched over to Amazing Race between 7 & 8 (central time) last night. The team that won the leg, their prize was a trip to Vancouver. Yes, I know this was taped in advance, but if it was me I'd have second thoughts about taking the skeleton ride at the Whistler Sliding Centre (a k a the track where the luge guy was killed) :eek:

Loved Apolo's race, too. I also watched some women's hockey on CNBC. Wow, they are amazing!

Congrats Canada on your first home turf gold.... that was awesome !

I would love to see the couple from China do well tonight... I miss the old scoring though...

So far everything has been so exciting... and very good back stories...

Note to Bob Costas.. please dye your hair a little lighter...:D

I second that with the Chinese. And yeah, I don't see this new scoring system. Back story: after allegations of vote-trading in the pairs and dance events @ the Salt Lake games 8 years ago, the old deduct-from-a-maximum-of-6 scoring system was ditched in favor of the current add-more-points-for-every-move system. (I swear before the new points system was implemented I NEVER saw any skater do that "Juan Marichal wind-up high-kick" spiral position; now they all do it, and I don't think it looks all that good.) They didn't need to throw out the "6" system; all they had to do, if you ask me (IANA figure skater or involved in the sport in any way beyond spectating; if anybody out there is so involved and can tell me why what I'm about to suggest isn't such a good idea, I welcome your comments), was 1. not select the judges until immediately before the event begins (making sure that no nation would have more than one judge) and 2. select a different group of judges for each phase of the competition.

I can't get this song off of my brain, just wanted to be sure it was on all of yours.... ;)

It's s s s such a perfect day y y y...
I'm so o o o glad I spent it with you....

Pair skating: Yay China!

Did they show the men's downhill in prime time last night?? I got home a little late and caught most of the figure skating, but all I saw of the downhill was Bode Miller discussing his performance on the late-night recap show. I made a point of sitting up pretty late watching the prime-time rerun, but all I saw there was speedskating, luge and snowboard-cross. I can't believe they wouldn't show the downhill, that's one of the big events in any winter Os

They didn't show it after that? My dvr accidently recorded it again..

:rofl: I was thinking the same thing the other night! Dang, Bob, "Just For Men" much?:devil:

:yay: Way to go Chinese pair skaters...

More power to you if it did. After our local news, NBC had a half-hour highlights show starting a little after 11:30 (central time) because the figure skating final ran up until about 11; then after the highlights show I saw the 500-meter long-track men's speedskating (where they were having the problems with the Zambonis and had to hold up part of the competition) and the first couple of rounds of women's luge. I assumed that might have been the prime-time repeat (I saw the same show the previous night and caught some of the pairs short programs that I missed), but maybe it was just an overflow show and the prime-time rerun came on later?

They showed the men's downhill right at the beginning of the show last night.

I am really bummed out for Lindsey Jacobellis.....

Lindsey Jacobellis fell again. I can't believe it.
