I'm sure he's yelling at the TV, at least. ;)

We've had a bad day, men's hockey and both curling teams.....sigh :puppydog:

I got very annoyed yesterday - EuroSport just kept interrupting the hockey matches with some boring stuff, like short track - glod and silver for koreans in man's 1000m final and... ouu what a surprise - gold and silver for koreans in women's 1500m, fascinating, simply fascinating.... Anyhow congratulations to Swiss heroes :applaud: (*boris* gets beaten from all canadians here with hockey sticks :beaten:).

Whee, Sweden vs USA hockey 2-1 :hehe:

next up, 2 man bobsled, go Pierre Lueders!

USA hockey weak this time round in the olympics :sweat:

Watching the Canadian NHL players getting their butt kicked. Looks like earning a few million bucks a year doesn't make you good at the olympics.

LOL, four falls in original dance today and all made from top players! Also the combination spin of the bulgarian pair was total disaster :sweat:, guess it's good that they didn't fall on ice :grumble:

And what are usa and canada doing in hockey :confused:. I thought that they are main competitors for gold. Not that I'm complaining, prefer europeans to win :hehe:

yes, good question, what are they doing... :grumble:

I guess they're worried they'll all go to jail for illegal gambling. :P :hehe:

Dammmmnnn, I hate ice dancing. Great performance by bulgarian pair, difficult combinations done perfectly, fast speed and... 2 points deductions, what the f**k was that :cursing:

I guess the judges are still getting bribes. One of the major low-down in figure skating. :shakehead:

USA hasn't done as well as they expected in almost everything. In the days leading up to the Olympics, NBC tried to hype it up by proclaiming that this was the "best US Winter Olympics team ever". I don't hear those statements anymore.

yay two more golds and a silver for CANADA!!!

too bad Canada lost to Russia :shamefulcry:

Hmmm, nobody can't deny that the Dutch female iceskaters are bad. Too bad Shani Davis is way too good for our men :grumble:

Woot! :woot:

For some reason, every athletes and teams that were supposed to win gold medals, screwed up. =T

great job by cindy klassen :woot: i'm cheering her on for a 5th medal!! :bonk:

Finaly Japan wins a medal - gold for Shizuka Arakawa in figure skating. She looked magnificent on ice, beautiful choreography, perfect performance. Bravo!

p.s. And so funny when Slutskaya looking so sure in gold tumble on ice :hehe:

Congrats to Shizuka Arakawa. :applaud:

I guess it's a big blow to Miki "Mikitty" Ando. Everybody's complaining about her bad performance and weight, since she began training in the U.S. She's eating too much junk food and can't jump anymore. :beaten:

She'll probably be able to write her own ticket for the rest of her life now :hehe:

Yea she must be extra careful with food in us from now on.
I feel sorry for Miki Ando - she tried to start with quad loop (or something like this, don't know the terms), but fail on the ground, then almost crashed in wall, then fail again and ended waaay back in ranking. I usually laugh when someone hit the ice, but not this time, this was just too unfortunate :shakehead:

Yikes. I didn't know that. :bleh:

Poor girl...
