XX Olympic Winter Games

[MORSN417]

Everyone knows what this is and this year it is happening in Torino, Italy.
So far I have seen some womens hockey (which doesnt seem quite right to me...) and the U.S. team one 6-0 (i forget who they faced). If you think that is something the Canadian women won 16-0!!!!!!!!
ok, post results of the olympics here!

[Some1]

Italy Faced Canada today in Hokkey I don't know who won Unless that 16-0 was the game I'm thinking about.

[MORSN417]

the U.S. has one medal so far, but its a gold
micheale kwane (ice skater) has a groin injury and may have to pull out of what is expected to be her last olympics (she has never one a gold medal in the olympics)

Hey did USA Beat Germany or did they lose? last I saw it was 5-0.

[MORSN417]

[Stuart_the_game]

[MORSN417]

firgure skating and mens hocky start in a couple of days

[Some1]

Did anyone watch the cross country skiing?

[The Genie]

Yes I did for a bit, I also watched the snowboard half-pipe, I like that allot. Allot of guys seem to fall, but it 's cool. No medals today for Holland on speed-skating.

[Nanaki]

I;ve only seen the ice-skating yet

[MORSN417]

on espn they said an american skiier crashed and "her knee bent at an angle that no human body part should bend at"
eek

[Some1]

Ouch, Yeah my mom said that theres been a lot of wrecks.

[MORSN417]

No medals today for Holland on speed-skating.


the US did :D
also, bode miller (the dude who said he aws skiing drunk) got disqualified in one of his compotitions, but the US still got the gold

[Nanaki]

a Chinese Skater fell in the Doubles.
Her partner threw her up and she spun 4 (4!!!!) times....the landing however...she fell onto her knee (sort of into the splits) and slid into the barrier.
She took a break of a bout 4 mins and then like nothing had happened they went back.
Mostt people thought their chances of getting the gold after her fall were shot, in fact of getting andy medal but they got Silver, in fact the came quite close to Gold!

[MORSN417]

yeah, i think the Russians got gold in that one
the Americans tried doing a triple, but the lady fell
when they got scored, they were in third, but quickly fell out of that position

[Petey Jr.]

I was watching womens' snowboardcross finals last night, and man was that good! About halfway through a Canadian had a huge wipeout and ended up being carried away in a stretcher.Then American Lindsey Jacobellis had a 3 second lead and on the second to last hill she had a minor crash and had to settle for silver. (Its all over NBC.)Tonia Frieden of Switzerland won gold.

[MORSN417]

(Its all over NBC.)


what about Sarah Hughs???!!! (i dunno how to spell her last name)

[Petey Jr.]

what about Sarah Hughs???!!! EVERYBODY IS SAYING THAT!!!!! ITS EMILY HUGHES!!!!!

[MORSN417]

i was watching a biatholon today on the olympics
it was cross country skiing and shooting put together
first they did some skiing, then they had to stop, shoot a target size of a silver dollar 50-yards away!!!
they did this a bunch of times
at one point there was three top people were all from Norway

[Petey Jr.]

Yeah, I heard about that. There were two sisters from the U.S. doing it together.

[MORSN417]

last night i watched the Americans win three medals
a gold and silver in speed skating and Apollo Ohno got a bronze in short track skating, Koreans got the gold and silver in that event

[Petey Jr.]

I saw that, too. Right before that an American became the first African American ever to win gold.

[MORSN417]

so far the USA is in third in the total matal count, with 13! seven of them are gold
