Anyone got video of that chick rolling down the hill? I can't find any online.
Poland,
I thought you guys were going to start a separate thread to discuss the results of races since we don't get them here until tonight. That way we can still discuss the Olympics in this thread and what we think about the athletes but we don't know the outcome before seeing it. Make a thread that says something like "Olympic Results- Spoiler". Then we'll know not to open it.
Got it. But not many in here want's to talk about IO so maybe I just wait one day and then post what has happendPoland,

I love the Winter games. But I only get Olympic coverage in German, French and Dutch in Amsterdam, so its not too exciting.
They have replaying that video on the TV about every 30 minutes. Just keep watching.
I keep thinking I'll just watch a little bit of the Olympics tonight and then I get sucked in and can't walk away. I have been glued to television. I'm going to need rehab after this is over.
I'm watching the Biathalon right now. Its actually pretty cool.
And how the have I enjoyed watching curling as much as I have? Weird .
If those curling hotties competed in bikinis, you'd have me hooked.
Gimme beach volleyball outfits any day.
Yes I know, I don't get it either but I'm glued to the TV!
Biathlon is incredebly difficult both physically and mentally.
Yea the Biathalon thing scares me.. they are like James Bond hitmen.. ski ski ski.. SHOOT... don't want to BEEp with them.
Yeah, I've watched hours of curling and I still don't understand how they score.
USA! USA! USA!
You're a sick Manny. You watch people sweep ice with brooms
What's next for the Winter Games? Zamboni slalom?
The basic idea is for one team to have as many stones as possible between the center of the target and the opponent's closest stone. Stones outside the target don't count. I don't get when the game is over. It has something to do with time and the score, but I haven't figured it out. I guess I could google for it - but where's the fun of thatYeah, I've watched hours of curling and I still don't understand how they score.
What I find weird is how they are capable of actually making the stones turn (change direction).
curling is awesome

Olympic Alpine Skiing News
AP Exclusive: Bode Miller on his Olympic experience: 'I did it my way'
By JIM LITKE, AP Sports Columnist
SESTRIERE, Italy (AP) -- Unbent, unbowed and ultimately unsuccessful, Bode Miller said in an interview Saturday he is skiing away from these Olympics on his own terms -- content without any medals and impressed by the local nightlife.
"I just did it my way. I'm not a martyr, and I'm not a do-gooder. I just want to go out and rock. And man, I rocked here," Miller said in an exclusive interview with The Associated Press soon after he skidded off the slalom course in his fifth and final race, completing an 0-for-the-Olympics.
Miller came to the Italian Alps cresting on a wave of expectations and was considered a medal threat in every Alpine event. But he failed to finish three of them and his best showing was fifth in the downhill -- part of a games with few highlights for the U.S. Ski Team.
"The expectations were other people's," Miller said. "I'm comfortable with what I've accomplished, including at the Olympics. I came in here to race as hard as I could. That was my obligation to myself."
As for his obligation to prepare, Miller said he was less ready for these games than the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics, where he won two silver medals.
"I've been living my life as if I might have died two weeks before the Olympics started," he said. "That left me the opportunity to dig deep, to go down that other route, to make more sacrifices and get back to where I was."
Miller said that while he might have prepared differently, he isn't one to second guess and he started each race fully focused and determined to win.
He called his Olympic experience "awesome" and cited the gold medals by teammates Julia Mancuso and Ted Ligety as one reason. Another, he said, was Sestriere's bar scene.
"My quality of life is the priority. I wanted to have fun here, to enjoy the Olympic experience, not be holed up in a closet and not ever leave your room," he said. "People said, 'Why can't you stay in for the two weeks, three weeks? You've got the rest of your life to experience the games the way everybody else does.' But I like the whole package. I always have."
He compared his Olympic experience to fellow American Daron Rahlves, who was a favorite in the downhill and a contender in the super-G but didn't come close to the podium.
"Look at what happened to Rahlves. He was holed up in his RV, he's probably the fittest guy out here and he made a point of talking about how important the Olympics were to him," Miller said. "And then look -- a little bad luck and he's got nothing to show for the whole thing.
"Me, it's been an awesome two weeks," Miller said. "I got to party and socialize at an Olympic level."
Bode needs to list the female athletes and reporters he banged the past two weeks, then we can truly judge his work. Lodge waitresses don't count - he said "Olympic level."
