Olympics
HI I am new here and from Canada, very proud that our country is host to the Olympics. I wondered where everyone else is from and if you are watching. Very sad start with the death of the Georgian Luger. It is a dangerous sport and he died doing what he loved.
Overall the games are going very well for us, we've already won more Golds than we were expecting.
Wow anyone else from Canada or anywhere see Montgomery's interview with Jennifer Hedger, true hearted canadian all the way. If you haven't seen it have a look. He is a skeleton athlete, for those that don't know what that is they slide down the luge track head first, reaching speeds of over 100mph.
Here's a pic of him
Oh ya and GO CANADA GO!! Beat the US today!!
USA USA USA. Should be a great game, sort of a meaningless game though don't you think?
Wow what a great game. Miller the difference for sure, Canada out shot them and out played them for sure. Brodeur looked terrible. Congrats to USA backers.
Canada was just taking it easy, the real tourney starts tonight with a royal German ass kicking, then tomorrow Russia gets the next beat down.
Woo hoo...we just won another medal...so exciting to be Canadian right now!!!
I hope your right Movie Nut. I have a feeling that Russia will be giving the beat down, but I hope that I am wrong.
Well Canada got another win, look out now!

Great game out of the Canadian women beating the US, did anyone watch the figure skating. What a sad story for that Canadian skater whose mother passed away at the games. .Nice to see her win the bronze
Look like the stage is set for another rematch Canada US both win today and they play for Gold.
Congrats to the women as well taking home yet another Gold..
Great great performance out of the Women last night, I hear that there is an investigation into their after game festivities, they were driniking beer and smoking cigars on the ice after the game..
Well the stage is officially set, Canada US rematch tomorrow night, should be a dandy game.
For Bronze we get the Slovaks against Finland also another good match-up. That game will air today.
Looks like the USA will meet Canada for the Men's Gold medal in hockey, Congrats on the Silver Canada!!

Seems that there is alot of hype over the women celebrating with beer and cigars. Thing is the building was empty, the fans were all gone, some photographer snapped the shots thinking he had the story of a life time. Hogwash, they were celebrating privately their gold medal win.
The Men will likely do the same tonight however none will be under age.
Go Canada!
All I have to say is GO CANADA GO!!!!!
We have tied the record for most Gold Medals in Olympics and beat the record for most on home soil!
I will be so sad when the Olympics are over, it's so exciting!
Second place in Men's hockey isn't that bad. Gold will be worn by the US of A!
Check this pic out.
Yay! Canada won gold in Hockey! The score was 3-2 in overtime. Sydney Crosby hit the winning shot. Canada also set a world record by winning more than 14 gold in a single Olympics.
