Canada/Swiss was a gritty hard faught hockey game. Credit to the Swiss, they were fantastic tonight and Hiller was flat out amazing. Can/USA will be epic on Sunday :victory:

Luckily, Curling is on - slow enough to calm down the nerves :hehe:

HA! One of the French curlers is a dead ringer of Kiefer Sutherland's character from the Lost Boys, awesome!

Sounds like Lindsey Lohan crashing her Benz into a tree.

I don't think Lohan was doing the slalom though... Maybe in her mind, since she was probably tanked.

That is where you are wrong my dear man. With all the coke (i.e. snow, yay, yola, etc) she was doing...she was actually doing Super G, not the mere slalom. She had more snow than Telluride.

+1. :victory:

Unbelievable that Oda Nobunari had such a strange mishap with his bootlaces. Shades of Mitsuhide floating over the ice rink maybe?????

In past contests Nobunari has beaten both the gold and silver skaters I seem to recall.

I was so happy that Takahashi got a medal. I think this was one night when the judges really made a good decision with their results.

anyone know when the women skate??

I was proud of her despite the tiara. :hehe:

In her interview she seemed nice. She just needs a better PR person to shape up her image.

The tiara is supposedly to promote some lingerie line of hers... I guess it's no different than all those logos they have on their outfits... But not nearly as pretentious as that tiara. :sweat:

Re: Women's Figure Skating - According to the Olympic schedule at Yahoo.com the women's short program is on Weds, Feb 24th. Before that we get to see Ice Dancing. :woot:


P.S. I liked the tiara! It wasn't too big and flashy like a Miss Universe crown or even as large as some Homecoming Queen's tiara. :D
