Question to Kwan: "What advice did Nancy Kerrigan give you?"

Watch out for guys named Gilooly!

[restornu]

That is a good looking man but pin strips and that tie and the shirt does not fit well, does little for him!:)

I comment because the visual is so much in your face!

[alarm rider]

See, that's the thing that bothers me about the Olympic coverage. I like all the stuff, and it's Kwan all the time. Don't get me wrong, I am a "homer", but I would like to see something about some dude or dudette from Katmandu that hasn't got a chance.

[Rte66]

She's someone familiar, but doesn't look like whoever it is she "seems" to be, lol.

[Ohioan from Florida]

OK--boring!!

[Howlin]

Uh, what the heck is that?

And it does repeat later tonight; on CNBC I think.

[retrokitten]

Thanks! We will definitely be watching.

Kristi Yamaguchi is married to Brad Hedican on the Carolina Hurricanes. They were on some show with their kids. They have the cutest little girl!

[Howlin]

About the same time we all did.

Lord, I remember him from Carolina!

[Mo1]

ROFL...thanks for posting that!!

Dead out did himself on that one

I am still ROFL!!!!

[alarm rider]

Cool, the Bud horses!

[bayourant]

i love those beer commercials

[Rte66]

Has he always had porcupine hair? Or did he get the gangsta outfit first and "do" his hair to match?

[alarm rider]

Darnit, I wish horses could ski!

[silent_jonny]

I know! 12 minutes into this thing and I haven't seen any of the actual ceremonies

[alarm rider]

I WANT THE SPIDER PEOPLE!!!!

[babaloo]

Now that hurt!LOL!

The picture caption says they are performers scaling a wall during the opening ceremony. The other one is an athlete from New Zealand. I like his hat and cape.

:)

[retrokitten]

LOL!! Good advice no matter what your career path.

Okay, when do we get to the good stuff?? They are showing all of these up coming interviews. I don't want to see interviews. I want crazy Italian costumes and over the top pageantry and those guys with balloons on their heads.

[Ohioan from Florida]

Sometimes I watch these commercials and wish I could do art like these people do. That United one just now was so...different.

[blu]

I want to see Eddie the Eagle!!! I want Dave's Mom to give us updates every night! I love the Olympics! (and the wipeouts are pretty cool, too!)
