So did everyone in the IOC just assume it would be cold in Vancouver in February?

Can't wait for hockey and curling to begin.

I was lucky enough to go to the Opening Ceremonies. Probably the coolest thing I've ever been to. I'm not sure how it looked on TV but they put on a heck of show. They put us all in white ponchos and went through a good sized rehearsal before hand telling us what to do and when.
Next to Gretzky, Nash got the biggest cheer from the crowd. It was a nice surprise and well deserved. IMO the Olympics have been pretty awesome so far.

There's something hot about the Japanese women's curling team yelling as the rock rolls down the ice.

Guys who are Asia-philes are usually geeks, racist, and creepy.

Good thing I'm not. I should have said any foreign women to sound less direct.

Today Petra Majdič from Slovenija became the hero of those olympic games..
She fractured her ribs at warming up for the qualifications, after she fell 3 meter into the small gorge, which was, of course not safe, after another bad bad organizing mistake ..
She won the bronze medal and fell unconcious from pain after crossing the finish line
All the spectators at the course where cheering for her..
RESPECT!!

The fascists at the IOC took it down.
I too know little about snowboarding but you could tell White is just on a higher level than everyone else.

Great game so far. USA scores in the first minute, Canada scores about 10 minutes in but USA answers back like 30 seconds after that.
2-1 USA
