Thanks. I'll look into it. :D

I saw the score for the Canadian women hockey team. This is a big joke.

It's like the NHL all stars vs school kids. 16-0 on Saturday night and 12-0 today. It was 7-0 after the 1st period. They probably stopped scoring just so the other team won't feel too bad about themselves. =T

I'm so disappointed... I love figure skating, but none of the competitions are gonna be aired in my country (Spain) because there aren't any Spanish skaters. So, I'm gonna miss it all. I wanted to watch it so bad. :(

Haha, I saw those scores too - seems a bit ridiculous

@Celes: How about EuroSport? They are covering pretty much everything including Figure Skating. I hope for bulgarian double Denkova/Stavinski to make good performance :fingerscrossed:

Really? That's sad. :puppydog:
I think it's one of the most aired sports here. I think there's figure skating competitions on TV every Saturday or Sunday all winter long here. :)

I thought you have to pay for watching Eurosport, but a friend has just told me that he could see Eurosport without paying some time ago. I'll search for that channel... I hope it'll work. Thanks!

Wow that's great. At least for me, because I really love figure skating.

When I heard the news report, I started cracking up. :hehe:

Oh well. he's still got the Men's 1000m; Men's 5000m Relay; and the Men's 500m short track.

Amen to that, Niko2x. Haha, was kinda' disappointing to see that he didn't get to execute that risky turn. Saw the result on the ESPN ticker at the bottom of the screen 'fore I saw the actual event. Tha's OK. Just wait for Wednesday. You think Ohno's done yet? I'd hate to be Ohno's competition in those events.

And if Ohno's doesn't medal this time around? 'SOK, man, he's had a great run.

On the other hand, if he DOES medal? Hooo-hooo, make space for The Man postings.

In any case, as of this writing, on only day three of the 'lympics, the U.S. is strong with 4 gold, 3 silver, which is another reason to say:
USA! USA! USA! :victory:

P.S. Oh, yeah, and, uh, one of those U.S. golds? Chad Hedrick. Speedskater. Men's 5000 m. Yep.

Hiya Manny! Welcome back.

Hmmm. A comment on the Olympics.

Just as any good thriller needs a bad guy who is as interesting as the good guy... I think you need a good villian to make the Olympics interesting.

Sadly, the USSR is no more.

Maybe when Terrorists take to downhill skiiing, I'll become rivited again.

14 Feb 2006, 04:31 #573

Terrorists downhill skiiing... :dielaughing: :rofl:

They go down strapped with explosives. If they're not finished within a certain time frame, the coach press the trigger to blow them up. :hehe:

And just to even it up, station the Vice President at the bottom of the hill, with a shotgun. Any American who's too slow...

14 Feb 2006, 04:45 #575

lol :rofl:

That sounds almost like the organisation they had in Iraq. The olympic team had a prison and a torture chamber. If you performed below their expectations, you knew what was in store for you when you came back home. :bleh:

Yeah, I'm surethe competition is all worried about getting tripped or slid into as well.

Here's hoping Ohno goes empty-handed. :beaten: ;) :hehe:

The wife only seems to be interested in the Olympics as far as Ohno is concerned. I may have to grow a soul patch.

That's okay, I'm just waiting to see Sasha Cohen. ;)

omgggg i love sasha cohen!!! hehe cant wait to see her skate after four yearsssss ^_^

I rather watch Kwan skate.
If she was able to, I think it would've been worth watching as it mostly likely be her last Olympic appearance, and if she won, it would've been exciting.

I doubt she going to make another appearance since she'll be 29, but it'd be cool if she won. Them baby girls getting own by a veteran at 29 :hehe:
