Seems all our gold is coming from the snowboarding events.

Feel free to flame me, but there is alot of crunch-time gagging going on w/ the Americans in these games. That Apolo guy fell in one of his qualifiers, Bode Miller has flat out choked. Even in curling, I saw both the mens and womens rock throwers(?), flop on the last critical throw.

Women's curling has a lot of good-looking young women.

And somebody tell Bryant Gumball that the Russian women's curling team has a black chick on it.

USA network has barely broadcast anything else but curling. Curling all week. Curling, curling, curling.


Yet, after hours of curling broadcasts, in the final 'end' of the US women vs Russia women, score tied, they cut to women's hockey.

[US curling team lost by 1]

Current Medal Totals:

NOR 13
GER 11
RUS 11
USA 10
CAN 9
AUT 6
CHN 6

Fourth place won't cut it. C'mon, American boys and girls, kick some butt! If Canada overtakes us, we'll never live it down.
