I feel sorry for American Olympic fans. I see NBC has decided to show most of the games in an edited tape-delay prime-time package (just like they do with the Summer Olympics).

CBC in Canada is showing almost the entire games live. I believe it is the same with the BBC too.

Of course, I'm not sure how many southern Americans there are interested in the Winter Olympics.

Coverage here is pretty good between Eurosport and the BBC, looking forward to the curling.

[ben grimm]

I'm with you on the ceremonies thing, enjoyed the mens half pipe boarding today though.

Oooooh, yes. Curling is SO much fun watching.
I watched the mens snowboard cross today and man, that was SO fun. I hope that sport will stay in the Olympics.

Olympics is nice. I'm addicted!

Canada just won a single in speed-skating team pusuit. The men's final is next. Enjoy the 8-hour tape delay coverage on NBC tonight.

I've been watching men's hockey all morning.

Ouch!

The US women's hockey team lost to Sweden in a shoot-out in the semi-finals.

 ;D And a silver for Britain, Shelley Rudman in the Skeleton bobsleigh! Go Shelley, and her boyfriend is vying for a medal today in the mens!

[Jaimoe]

Gold and silver for Canada in the men's skeleton!

The other women's hockey semi-final is next (North American's don't call it ice hockey). Canada will walk all over Finland.

So pleased for her  :D
Doesn't Skeleton Bob sound like a cartoon character though?  ;)

Woohoo!!! ;D
A silver as worst to Sweden in women hockey.
Wow!
Kim Mart'in is AWESOME!!!

It's 4-0 for Canada in the 2nd period. It looks like a Sweden-Canada final.

That's cool. Though I don't think Sweden has a chance to win, but hopefully it could be an amusing final anyway!

[Jaimoe]

Well, Canada beat the Swedes 8-1 in round-robin play. I'm proud of the Swedes for their most historic win in Swedish women's hockey history. Canada is leading 6-0 right now over the Finns.

The men's Swedish team has to be happy to have Forsberg back from injury. They got hammered by the Ruskies yesterday.

Yeah, I know. Canada is too hard to beat. But it's good anyway, coz in the last olympics they only got bronze and now they're getting silver.

oh yeah, it's really nice Forsberg will be playing. how could they lost with 5-0 aganist Russia. I know Russia is good but that good?! huh. Anyway.

The Swedish men's team usually fold in big games. So does their World Jr. team.

This year's men's Olympic team has question marks with depth at the 3rd and 4th forward lines and the goal situation is unproven. Back-up goalie Tellqvist is Toronto's back-up and Lundqvist is a rookie who's injured.

Hey Morning Rebel, Sweden needs Ebbot from The Soundtrack Of Our Lives in net. He would take up the entire goal area  ;D

[Easy Morning Rebel]

HAHA.
