Well, I guess I'm the only one who likes or gets curling. The last Olympics I sat down and watched and really got interested in it and was actually looking forward to seeing it this year. And since no one else likes it, that's all I've got to say about that... I love the short track speed skating and that cutie Apollo *snort* Yes, yes go on with your pre-licking comments. How 'bout that US men's hockey team beating Canada!!! Woo to the Hoo!! Boo to NBC for not airing it on the main network...but I loved it just the same.. ;D And loved that the US won gold in the men's figure skating...too cool! I like seeing those girls get chunked into the air in the pairs figure skating. lol

lol @ Miki...I don't think it's so much that we don't like it, just that it's excessively monotonous for very long blocks of time each day...I mean heck, once prime-time starts they try to cover four different events at once! Yeah, they said in the opening ceremony that the US was never really considered a major force at the Winter Olympics until about 8 years ago...

For a country touted to not be a major contender in the winter games, I think we kicked ass this time around.
