Aw crap, I missed that? The Nordic skiing and shooting is one of my favorites.

I'm hoping the Canadians do well.

US ice dancers, Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto, train less than two miles from my house, and had a hell of a time getting to the games because of the snow.

The story that surprised me most was the three athletes from India had no uniforms.

Vancouver's Indo-Canadian community has rallied to provide funding and uniforms for India's three-man Winter Olympics team, local press reports say.

And I meant it, because they have put the whole country's heart and soul into being a first class host. They deserve our appreciation for their adherence to the Olympic spirit.

For WHIP, sports is a business... it's all about the gold.

That's biathlon you're thinking of glatt. But that was on too, this afternoon.

Woo Hoo, Canadian beat the Frenchman in Men's Moguls.

Exactly. Anybody who has ever done cross country skiing knows how your heart is freaking pounding out of your chest, and then to stop and quickly relax to focus on taking a shot is incredible. It I tried it, I'd be shooting the cameramen behind me, I'd be so wild.
