Shaun White and Wang Meng are amazing. They make it look so easy in their respective sports. :victory:

I missed that Curling game :puppydog: I wanted to watch it

Try the CTV Olympics website if you're still interested. Doubt they'll be shown on TV again today, though.

From what I read, it's to promote her lingerie line of clothing.... Rather pretentious, I'd say.

Rather anticlimactic, but Shaun White takes the gold in the half-pipe. :victory:

Red Vancouver Mittens are the 'Must Have' Accessory

You've seen 'em during NBC's coverage of the Olympics. Whenever anybody waves to the camera, they're impossible to miss. Unfortunately, they're also impossible to find. They're the bright red Olympic mittens, and it seems like everybody wants them.

Since the Games began last week, online lookups on "olympic mittens" have been soaring. Related searches on "red olympic mittens," "canadian olympic mittens," and "where to buy olympic mittens" surged from nothing into breakout status in the Buzz. And, really, it's easy to understand the appeal. The mittens have a playful classic look, with the Canadian maple leaf on the palm. Plus, they cost only 10 Canadian dollars.

Well, they were only $10. Now that they seem to be sold out at most traditional outlets (or at least very difficult to come by), enterprising individuals have raised the price to double or more. The fact that celebrities like Cindy Crawford and U.S. Vice President Joe Biden have been seen sporting the mittens has only added to their appeal.

An AP writer recounted a quest to find a pair of the mittens around Vancouver. Everywhere the writer went, the "must-have accessory" was sold out. There are even reports of gloves being snatched up before they reach shelves. As another writer put it, everyone is "smitten for red mittens."

I'd prefer Red Gloves. :beaten:


What an amazing day yesterday was. America soared.
Really loving the Olympics this year. Not too many human stories and more sports time! :applaud:

I don't think she was cursed 4 years ago; I think she gave it away in a extreme example of hubris.
