Grog while luging?  :drunk: :weee: :lolg:

Actually, I love the figure skating and ice dancing. Love, love, love it.

I also really like to watch curling.  :shy:

But, one of my favorite events is the snowboard super pipe and some of the snowboard/ski events straight from X Games. We watch both the Summer and Winter X Games every year. Funny thing is, we are so not "risk takers", so we can live vicariously through athletes like "The Flying Tomato"!  :tomato:

Do enjoy watching it, although it hasn't been the same since Torvel and Dean did "Bolero". :clap1:

Prefer curling up on the couch with mamabunny. :hug:

Grog while luging!!  HAHA!  Maybe next time I visit Utah I'll have to go up to the luge and give it a try! 

We watch the X games with the same thought!!  We became Flying Tomato fans during the 2002 Salt Lake City Games!  That was such a fun experience. We got to see the torch running through the streets of a near by neighborgood and the huge month long party down town was so fun. There were lots of free exibits to go and see. We saw the Swiss Luge team walking around with their gold metals with a bunch of huge body guards. So Cool!  It was to expensive to go see any of the events that was the only down side.

My oldest daughter loves the figure skating it's fun to watch her dance around the room imitating them.  lol

Curling is just weird, but fun to watch. lol

Most of all skeleton (the kind of sport I would love to learn as it includes speed ) but I also like to watch alpine ski, snowboard, ski jumping (I prefer by far the winter games than the summer games, so I know I will watch the most I can )

King just picked up a USA Today/Sports Weekly Guide to the Winter Games. We always chart out medals and do some homeschool along with the games. Makes it fun and more interesting, I think. Here is a link to the Vancouver 2010 official site:

My heart goes out to the family of the Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili that lost his life in a practice run today.



Before you click on this link to the article I would recomend that if you don't want to see the acident don't look at the progression of photos in this article. (I made that mistake and I wish I hadn't  :'( )

I am a true Canadian. Hockey :) The sad thing is our athletes could bring home more medals and our first gold on our own soil. But if we loose the men's hockey people will only remember that. So they better not screw up this year. :)

I loved the whales from tv you really thought it was real :)

Yeah! The whales were so cool!!   :j10:

I also liked the guy flying over the prairie. When the cameras weren't so close you could hardly see the rigging! It looked so cool!  :j10:

Well, if Canada continues to beat teams 18-0 (I don't joke, that was the women's score against Slovakia), there shouldn't be much of a problem.  Nevertheless, in a sign of true patriotic fandom I must say . . .

Well, I have actually played some curling on the computer before and I must say I wasn't that bad at it so if its on I will watch it and I do like watching all the sports, but my fav is Short Track.  I watch it for Ohno.  I saw him in his very first Olympics and I have been watching him in every Olympic since then.  He definitely had a wild ride today in the event, but he still got silver to get his 6th all time medal.  If you get to see a highlight of the game you should see it.  It was very shocking at the end.

Thanks Princess!  I was wondering if there was any good schedules of the events out there.  I want to make sure I don't miss the next meet.  WOOT GO OHNO!!!!!  :clapping:  :clap1:  :clapping:  :clap1:  :clapping:  :clap1:  :clapping:  :clap1:  :clapping:
