Events That Are On Right Now!

[GirlySports]

Live Thread of events going on now and what everyone is watching.

First jump of two of the Men's Normal Hill Ski Jumping. (TSN)

FIFTY guys qualified for the final.. the 4 Canadians didn't make it.

[questionmotives]

Ski jumping is hilarious. All these close to anorexic dudes flying 100 meters in wind catching suits and landing all within around 5 meters of each other.

I guess this is why we only get to "enjoy" it every four years.

It would be way cooler if they had clear a gap and then ride it out in the mogul run.

[GirlySports]

It's sort of like gymnastics with judges looking at the routine and landing.

[fundmark19]

I like ski jumping It takes a lot of skill to do what they do

[FiftyBelow]

I'm really enjoying the comments from Kucera and Vanderbeek. They really give great perspective and insight into how dangerous downshill skiing is. For athletes, they're actually really well spoken.

[GirlySports]

That was a cool first round.. the swiss guy in first has two point lead... is that alot?
Everyone else is bunched up.

A Finn, Olli Harri! for DQ'd

How do you get DQ'd in ski jumping!

[dissentowner]

Canadians looking very strong at luge practice. Go boys!

[Kybosh]

Canadians looking very strong at luge practice. Go boys!

I'm pulling for these guys as well. I know Sam from a football pool and I've met the other guys before. Best of luck for sure!

[killer_carlson]

great thread idea.

Please put Networks on as well.

12:15 pm on Saturday: TSN has ski jumping.

Yup, normal hill ski jumping final. This will be the first medals of the games

[Tyler]

When does Jen Heil compete in moguls?

What else do we have for medals today with the alpine skiing cancelled? Short track?

[Bertuzzied]

great thread idea.

Please put Networks on as well.

12:15 pm on Saturday: TSN has ski jumping.
We should have a daily thread talking about the events of that day.

Which site has the best schedule for the events?

Ugh. so confused. not sure to watch CTV or TSN.

[Yamer]

Looks like the Swiss just won a Gold in Men's Ski Jumping.

[wpgflamesfan]

If you've got bell turn to channel 993 as it gives you feeds from ctv, tsn, snet, rds, v-mtl & aptn so you can see/hear whats on each channel.

[Eastern Girl]

http://www.ctvolympics.ca/tv-online-listings/index.html

This is the listing I am using. Shows TSN, SNET and CTV programming.

Apparently the speed skating is starting in about twenty minutes.

[GirlySports]

I think you always watch TSN or sportsnet.. whatever they're showing they will show in its entirety. They showed the entire ski jumping? 81 jumps

CTV will jump around everywhere and have news.

---

The Polish Batman is an awesome nickname! He got silver

[Winsor_Pilates]

That last jump was huge! Love seeing the last guy win it with the biggest jump. Great performance, what the games are all about.

But would it then be live? or tape delayed.

Poland has more medals than Canada :bag:. hehe

[GirlySports]

If would mostly be live, you'd have to check with the main schedule

Kevin Quinn and Cassie Campbell doing women's hockey.. coming up next .. ugh..

[Kybosh]

That last jump was huge! Love seeing the last guy win it with the biggest jump. Great performance, what the games are all about.

For me the games are all about what happened immediately after the jump. Did you see all the other countries congratulating the swiss on an amazing jump?

[Icon]

the 5000m speed skating's coming up on Sportsnet & CTV.

I'm looking forward to cheering on Jenny Heil this afternoon too!

[Bertuzzied]

Kevin Quinn and Cassie Campbell doing women's hockey.. coming up next .. ugh..

Blood is already trickling from my ears.

[GirlySports]

How long does 5000m speed skating take? 10 minutes?

[Resolute 14]

They moved the men's luge start to the women's start line on the "perfectly safe" track.

And the other Georgian luger withdrew - he wanted to participate but couldn't even bring himself to step on the track. Brutal. I felt so bad for the Georgian Olympians last night. You could see how devastated they all were. Proud of them for still going through the parade, but it had to be hard being around 60,000 celebrating people when one of their teammates is going home in a body bag.

[PowerPlayoffs06]

I don't like the way everything is schedualed in 6 hour blocks on my PVR. I have to go out with the wife this afternoon/evening and wanted to record the Canadians Womens Hockey game, but have to tape the entire 6 hour block because it wont let me start recording at a specific time, just a specific slot. I wish it was broken down into smaller increments. Is that the broadcasters decision or SHAWs, I wonder?

[Jesse834]

nm.

[Bertuzzied]

I miss Steve Armitage.

Just a guess but I think the broadcasters aren't 100% sure of what they will be showing next. I think it depends on how we do at each event.

[Kybosh]

I miss Steve Armitage.

I miss the Steve Armitage soundboard. I can't find it anywhere.

[GirlySports]

I miss Steve Armitage.

CBC sucks. They don't have enough commentators.

This coverage is great so far.

[Bertuzzied]

CBC sucks. They don't have enough commentators.

This coverage is great so far.


Well at least TSN is onboard this time around. The 1988 olympics were ruined by CTV!!!!!!!!!! 20 years later and i'm still pissed.

A joint CBC/TSN broadcast like in Beijing is the best we can ask for. and get rid of sportsnet and their god awful commentators.

[TRIX]

Check the Suisse vs Sweden womens hockey game on right now

I think Soderstrom lent his mask to the Suisse goalie...looks so retro and terribly awful

[octothorp]

Makowsky racing right now in the 5000... looks to have a solid shot at a top 10 finish.

[Jesse834]

In a battle of the #4 and #5 ranked Woman's hockey teams in the world, Sweden shutouts Switzerland in the opening hockey game for the Olympics 3-0.

[Top Shelf]

just watching ski jumping on tsn right now and am wondering wtf all the little dark objects are where the guys land? they look like little green bushes?

[chid]

^ yeah they are shrubs, everytime a ski jumper lands he spreads them around a bit more too.

[getbak]

just watching ski jumping on tsn right now and am wondering wtf all the little dark objects are where the guys land? they look like little green bushes?
I think it's something like that. The reason they have them is to give the jumpers some perspective of the landing zone, otherwise, all they'd see is one big patch of white with no reference points to judge their distance to the ground and/or the angle of the hill.

[GirlySports]

Poland has more medals than Canada :bag:. hehe

South Korea does too :bag:

[OILFAN #81]

Perhaps but what was under the mask was hot. What a babe Schelling is.

You don't have to record the entire block. You can set a recording for specific times on the SHAW PVRs if you want to . . . I do it all the time to tape the sports section of the news to watch after game interviews . . .

Go to the quick menu → PVR → Set a Recording → Select the start and end time you want to record and date → choose channel → select record

Women's moguls qualifying are on CTV right now

[killer_carlson]

Qualifying for Women's Moguls on Right now on TSN and CTV. 17:30 Saturday.

Jen Heil qualifying run up in another 6 skiers

[TRIX]

they should have music playing like this at more of the events

[Antithesis]

Here she goes ... hope her run goes as well as the last Canadian's!

[transplant99]

What time does the GM mogul run get going...anyone?

[3 Justin 3]

Heil in first place so far after about 10 qualifiers. Our other Canadian is now in 4th place, and we have another coming up.

To Note, Heil is in first place by more than a point and a half right now, but with 12 people to go.

[3 Justin 3]

Heil now in 2nd for qualifying, an American now in first.

[Antithesis]

What time does the GM mogul run get going...anyone?

Don't take this as gospel as I was half paying attention at the time but I heard a comment about them possibly only getting the qualifying in tonight because of the weather. Did anyone else hear that?

[transplant99]

Ahhh...K...i found that it was supposed to start at 10:30 EST but weather issues are surely understandable....thanks.

[Eastern Girl]

Womens Hockey starting on SNET!!

GO CANADA GO!!!

[Eastern Girl]

1-0 Canada already!

[Kybosh]

This game has the makings of a blowout for Canada early on.

[Kybosh]

2-0 Canada

[Antithesis]

Yikes ... wonder what the over/under is here. These games are uncomfortable to watch.

[Eastern Girl]

I love it!

3-0!

[TRIX]

oh jeez

[killer_carlson]

I need us to win a couple medals, including a gold, right early on. It's far too stressful for me to watch.

[jayswin]

Yikes ... wonder what the over/under is here. These games are uncomfortable to watch.


Yeah, I can't watch the blowout games. It's just embarassing for everyone involved.

[Jesse834]

5-0! Yikes!

[TRIX]

didn't know Morrow played for the Slovakian womens team too

[thesmugger]

This game is being played at GM Place right?

[Ice]

Not that it really will affect the outcome of the game, but the whistle blew before that fifth goal was scored, AND Slovakia's player had control of the puck to earn the whistle.

[Hemi-Cuda]

why are both CTV and TSN showing a blowout hockey game when there's short track speed skating going on? i thought the point of having 3 networks covering the games was to show everything. luckily it's on NBC and the last race with Apollo Ohno was great (except for the Canadian blowing a tire twice)

[Jesse834]

I want 50 goals!

[zarrell]

Just watching the luge on one of bell's channels and an American luger just smoked the top of the run in the last corner. Speeds are still in the mid 140's but it looks like the area where the metal columns are is all boarded up with plywood.

[Jesse834]

This is getting ridiculous. 7-0 Canada.

[jayswin]

Man, I wish they had a mercy rule. How embarassing is this?

[Eastern Girl]

I don't mind blowouts at all, especially if Canada is the one dishing it out.

7-0.

[TRIX]

ok...run time.....please

[thesmugger]

Chick hockey is a joke. Wont even bother watching till the Canadian/American final then it might be somewhat interesting.

[Torture]

Anybody know what time are the freestyle finals at?

Looking at CTVs website it says 7:30, but there isn't a word on timezones.

[Antithesis]

That is 7:30 PST.

[MRCboicgy]

all times pacific

[Devils'Advocate]

This is why they are considering removing women's hockey from the Olympics. There are not enough countries that play the sport at an Olympic level. These kind of blowouts are common early in every tournament. That said, we were laughing the first few games of the men's world juniors...

Despite our dominance, there were a lot of mistakes by Canada in that first period. No look passes that got intercepted. Give aways in their own zone. Against better teams those mistakes will end up in the back of the net.

[Eastern Girl]

Use this website

http://www.ctvolympics.ca/tv-online-listings/index.html

you can change the time zone around.

[TRIX]

wow, if only the team would help out the goalie...some sick saves there

[sa226]

Does anybody know when things may be replayed? All this wall to wall live coverage is great, but what if I missed something I want to see? It seems like the silverlight thing has that capability but I'm not sure.

No I don't have a PVR

I'm not whining, just wondering, I have looked around and can't seem to find where replays or reruns may be.

[Mtt48]

It's pretty awesome that CTV has 3 channels to show stuff on...I'm not stuck watching women's hockey.

[Kybosh]

Ouch, Hamelin gets overtaken in the semis by Ohno.

[wpgflamesfan]

That was just an unreal move by Ohno there. So much for a medal there.

[kirant]

Unbelievable move by Ohno. Too bad.

[Mtt48]

Short track is pretty exciting. Sucks our guy couldn't get through to the final

[Diet Water]

Sucks that Hamelin didn't qualify. With the exception of hockey, speed skating is definitely my favorite Olympic event.

[Mtt48]

I remember in 88 when short track was at the Olympics for the first time. It was my favorite event that I personally got a chance to go to. I hope this guy goes on to the final round

[Kybosh]

Agreed, I find the short track especially exciting. The relays are awesome.

[CMPunk]

This Women's hockey is so brutal

[Mtt48]

Junior B hockey is FAR FAR better than the best womens hockey. I don't even know why they televise it.

[Eastern Girl]

Because believe it or not, some people actually enjoy womens hockey. You guys don't. Doesn't mean it should not be shown or should be taken out of the Olympics. I think it's good hockey and entertaining to watch, speaking generally.

[valo403]

Short track is exciting, but I hate that it seems to turn into a roller derby so often. I guess it comes with the territory.

[Eastern Girl]

So, why was Olivier Jean advanced? They said because of a disqualifier earlier, what does that mean exactly?

[Kybosh]

He was interfered with and fell because of it.

[Johnny Canuck]

I'm really surprised by how much im enjoying the speed skating so far. Aside from the womans hockey game (only watched until it was 5-0) , I've found everything really enthralling/exciting, especially the Mogul Skiing.

Edit: Thrilled to see that Olivier Jean was advanced. I had thought he was going to win his race, and felt horrible for him when he was interfered with.

Should be an exciting final.

[valo403]

So, why was Olivier Jean advanced? They said because of a disqualifier earlier, what does that mean exactly?

They advanced him? I'm on NBC so anyone not wearing stars and stripes doesn't exist.

[Eastern Girl]

He was interfered with and fell because of it.

So, was the person that interfered with him actually disqualified then or did they both advance?

They advanced him? I'm on NBC so anyone not wearing stars and stripes doesn't exist.

The CTV announcers are saying that he was advanced. I believe they said they confirmed it.

[CMPunk]

Because believe it or not, some people actually enjoy womens hockey. You guys don't. Doesn't mean it should not be shown or should be taken out of the Olympics. I think it's good hockey and entertaining to watch, speaking generally.


How is watching Canada hammer Slovakia 13-0 after two periods "good hockey"?

Canada/USA is generally a good game, but the rest of these games are a farce

[Kybosh]

The person that interfered with him is disqualified while Jean will move on.

[Eastern Girl]

How is watching Canada hammer Slovakia 13-0 after two periods "good hockey"?

Canada/USA is generally a good game, but the rest of these games are a farce

That's why I said generally speaking. I don't think blowout games are ever really an example of exciting hockey. But I don't think that all the games outside a Canada/US game would be considered a farce. They aren't all blow outs.

[MRCboicgy]

I feel sad for Hamelin - getting put in such a brutal semifinal. Yeah you have to beat everyone at one time, but the the other semis weren't stacked like that.

[chris_yk]

Brutal by Hamelin and by Bastille to not even make it to the semis, not a great start for men's short track. Jean's gonna be in tough in the final too with 3 Koreans and 2 Americans, should be a lot of team skating. The womens side looked really good in the preliminaries of the 500m though.

[kirant]

Well, at least Jean made it. Hamelin's heat was stacked.

Oh god. I hate the Women's Hockey team.

Anybody else notice that the Women's PP is trying too many skill plays?

[d_phaneuf]

This women's hockey is like the first few games of the world juniors

I feel bad, I wish once the team got it to like a 6 goal lead they just started wasting time

no need to win by this much

[valo403]

That's why I said generally speaking. I don't think blowout games are ever really an example of exciting hockey. But I don't think that all the games outside a Canada/US game would be considered a farce. They aren't all blow outs.

There are 3-4 teams that are competitive, and a bunch more that get stomped. Canada outscored it's first 3 opponents in 2006 36-1. It doesn't look much different than softball and baseball, two sports axed from the olympics in part due to lack of capable competitors.

The same thing happens in the Junior competition. Canada stomps their competitors usually into the double digits. Should that competition be shut down? Even in the Olympic Mens hockey, Canada usually beats up on their first few opponents.

[Rod Hockey]

Luge on NBC

[valo403]

The same thing happens in the Junior competition. Canada stomps their competitors usually into the double digits. Should that competition be shut down?

I've heard plenty of people talk about reducing the field for that tournament. I'm among them.

[Johnny Canuck]

My wife is paying more attention to the womens hockey game than I am, and she commented that she was pretty surprised by one of Cassie Campbells comments

It was something like
"if this was a real game she wouldnt have passed, she would have shot it" During the first handful of minutes in the first period.

She apparently corrected herself a little later, and I mean sure, we all know that Canada and the United States are going to steam roll everyone they face, but not so sure Cassie should have discredited Slovakia the way she did. Even if I agree with her. *shrugs*

[Jesse834]

Men's luge starting now on NBC. Costas did say that Nodar's Georgian teammate did choose to withdraw today. I don't think anyone can blame him.

[HPLovecraft]

Women's hockey shouldn't be an Olympic sport.

[Eastern Girl]

Women's hockey shouldn't be an Olympic sport.

I disagree.

Where does that leave us?

[valo403]

I disagree.

Where does that leave us?

In a disagreement??

[Eastern Girl]

In a disagreement??

Yep.

[Rod Hockey]

Short track in 22min on NBC

[Johnny Canuck]

Short track in 22min on NBC

So much to watch, and not enough tvs! think thats been my biggest issue today.

[CMPunk]

They should make Canada play shorthanded the whole game...then it might only be 10-0

[3 Justin 3]

18 minutes until women's moguls finals (right?), hopefully the Flames game has no whistles.

[MRCboicgy]

and congrats to the women's short track for qualifying to the 3000m final. Hope they can pull out a top 3 there.

[Rod Hockey]

18-0 final

[MRCboicgy]

wow, shot clock
67-9 Canada.

[Moose]

Yikes, weather looks terrible for the moguls. Hopefully they don't cancel it and base the medals off qualifying.

[d_phaneuf]

Yikes, weather looks terrible for the moguls. Hopefully they don't cancel it and base the medals off qualifying.

ya was just gonna post

that would be terrible for Jen Heil

[Rod Hockey]

Still hitting 140km/h+ on the luge track. freaking crazy!!!!!!!!

[Rod Hockey]

Calgary boy on the luge NBC

[Hemi-Cuda]

wouldn't that be ironic for Vancouver weather to possibly prevent Canada from getting it's first gold medal. i really hope they run the final round in moguls, i'm sick of hearing about all these events getting screwed up by weather

[Rod Hockey]

I still don't know why they can't build and indoor mogul and half pipe arena? If the saudi's can build a ski dome so could we.

[3 Justin 3]

Is the moguls supposed to start at 8:30 (in 3 minutes)?

TSN has speed skating.

CBC is currently showing the Mogul hill and audio keeps clipping in and out. Hopefully it starts.

[Moose]

They say the moguls are still supposed to go, but CTV seems to be having all sorts of problems. Random sound clips being played with the moguls in the background... not sure what they were trying to do

[valo403]

I still don't know why they can't build and indoor mogul and half pipe arena? If the saudi's can build a ski dome so could we.

Likely due to a lack of desire to spend another couple hundred million dollars

[Rod Hockey]

Short track Canadian into final round with a first place in the semi

[Mtt48]

Come on OLIVER!!!

[3 Justin 3]

TSN has 1500m Gold Medal event now. Women's moguls Medal is now on CTV.

[Rod Hockey]

I need three TV's and the laptop going

[valo403]

NBC commentator just said that there is "a literal wall of Koreans in this race". Man, that would be something to see.

[Mtt48]

The olympics are on CTV, not CBC. Flames game is on CBC :)

[Moose]

Olivier looks like he's an adult amongst a pack of children... so much larger.

[3 Justin 3]

Olvier keeps pushing for that 1st place, dropping back to 4-5. Hopefully he pushes strong at the end. GO CANADA GO!!

[Machiavelli]

Jean isn't even close.

[3 Justin 3]

WOW!! Koreans take each other out and Oliver finishes 4th.

[Moose]

hahaha, there goes the podium sweep for the koreans. They really should have circus music playing during short track speed skating.

[Diet Water]

Wow, that was unbelieveable. Koreans were less than a second away from a sweep.

USA got VERY lucky.

[Mtt48]

Wow, that final short track race was INTENSE! So exciting.

[Antithesis]

Wow, that was some wreck in the short track speed skating.

[Moose]

Moguls have started on CTV. The visibility is a lot worse than the qualifying runs

[3 Justin 3]

Koreans go from a Sweep to only a Gold. Idiots! The guy almost took all 3 of them out.

Moguls going on now. GO HEIL AND RICHARDS!!

[Antithesis]

I wonder what the average age when moguls skiers retire is. Looks really hard on the knees but I don't ski at all so I am hardly an expert.

[Machiavelli]

You could tell she was going to wipe out.

[Antithesis]

Wow, that girl even being able to compete is impressive, this doesn't seem like a sport that would be friendly to knee injuries.

[3 Justin 3]

She almost fell at the top, wasn't surprised at all when she wiped out.

Our first Canadian will go 11th, and then our fellow Canadians will go 17th and 19th. (out of 20)

I so hope the American chokes, and then cries like a bitch.

[Eastern Girl]

Yeah, from the beginning, she looked like she was barely hanging on to it.

I loved the commentators description, like a cat out the window.

[3 Justin 3]

Just to put into perspective, our "worst" skier scored a 24.2, the current leader after half the competitors is at a 23.2.

[3 Justin 3]

Chloe up now. COME ON!!

[Mtt48]

This chick is like 7. Com'n!!!

[Rod Hockey]

Hell Ya!!!!!!!!sweet run

[Machiavelli]

She did great.

[Kybosh]

Great run for the 1st Canadian!

[Moose]

Wow, great run there by the young canadian.

[Antithesis]

Wow, great job ... win or lose she should be proud.

[3 Justin 3]

Good run, 23.87. She is is first place, 8 more to go.

Only 18 year old, she'll be 22 in Russia with 4 more years of experience. She has excellent potential.

[DownInFlames]

Good job, Chloe!

[Machiavelli]

Blows a kiss to the camera....what a sweetie.

[Mtt48]

It's crazy to think that she is so young. In 4 years she is going to be beastly!

[MRCboicgy]

That was a great run. Top 10 finish guaranteed

[3 Justin 3]

Still 1st. Come on Americans, choke, CHOKE, CHOKE!!

[Rod Hockey]

Ouch!!!!!!!!!!!

[3 Justin 3]

Choked!!

[Mtt48]

Oh man! That was a harsh fall. Crowd is cheering tho, gotta love that!

[3 Justin 3]

1 choked, 2 to go. I'll make sure to post the exact same thing when the other Americans ski.

[Rod Hockey]

Give her credit for going all out

[Diet Water]

Still 1st. Come on Americans, choke, CHOKE, CHOKE!!

Choked!!

Stay classy.

[Machiavelli]

What kind of ######basket tries to sneak in?

[Kybosh]

Still 1st. Come on Americans, choke, CHOKE, CHOKE!!

I think she heard your large font.

[Antithesis]

Wonder if her speed down the hill will be able to overcome the errors she had at the beginning of the run.

[3 Justin 3]

Stay classy.

Because I love Americans. Sorry, but when it comes to sports, they can gargle my balls.

[Machiavelli]

She will take over first.

[Antithesis]

Oh wow ... she's well ahead of Chloe now.

[Eastern Girl]

Yeah, that's not surprising.

[Moose]

I'm confused about Roark's husband trying to sneak in to the facility. Was it before hand, and he was trying to get some advanced scouting of the run or something? If thats the case I don't really see what the point would be.

"I snuck in, and it looks like there are a bunch of moguls before the jumps"...

edit: a quick search shows he was banned for sneaking in to watch her train when he didn't have his credentials yet. Makes a lot more sense

[-TC-]

What kind of ######basket tries to sneak in?
an american one

[Jesse834]

nm.

[Methanolic]

That american should save her screaming for the Oprah show!......It ain't over yet Bee-Awtch!

[3 Justin 3]

Chloe dropping to 3rd. Not surprising, but it is fantastic that she will finish in the top 7ish.

[-TC-]

cmon Kristi!!!

[Antithesis]

OK, let's go!!

[Mtt48]

Iggy just scored on a nice one timer. Go CANADA @ moguls

[Machiavelli]

Oh no, Richards fell

[-TC-]

That american should save her screaming for the Oprah show!......It ain't over yet Bee-Awtch!
another ugly american, no surprise

[Rod Hockey]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[DownInFlames]

Oh, no!

[Antithesis]

Oh no ... man, she was blazing through that middle part.

[3 Justin 3]

No! Richards is done. :(

Still got Jenn Heil.

[MRCboicgy]

argh

[Moose]

Damn, Richards lost it. She was really going for it there, but I guess thats the risk of pushing the limit. They really seem to be pushing the speed in the final.

[Eastern Girl]

Awwww, no.

Finish big woman!!!

[-TC-]

Oh no, Richards fell


:(

[Kybosh]

Tough break on the fall but that was sweet getting the crowd to amp her up for a big final jump.

[Methanolic]

Man that made my heart sink. Damn.

[3 Justin 3]

She was blazing fast and just couldn't hold it. If she held it, she'd easily be first.

[Mtt48]

That was awesome how she made that jump after. I love these athletes. They are all so positive and just awesome

[Machiavelli]

Poor Kristi......

[Methanolic]

Good for her for gaining her composure and finishing the run instead of just limping down to the finish.

[-TC-]

that was a class way to finish, the americans could learn from that

[Machiavelli]

Good for her for gaining her composure and finishing the run instead of just limping down to the finish.

Classic Canadian spirit. Not only did she continue but she gave the crowd a big jump for entertainment.

[3 Justin 3]

Chloe still in 3rd with 3 to go. Exciting! She'll most likely be knocked out, but LETS GO CANADA!!

CHOKE AMERICA CHOKE!!!

CHOKE!

[Moose]

It is impressive how she ended it with that great jump. I can't imagine how deflating it would be to lose your chance for a medal in an event you train for for years. Rather than sitting and putting her face in her hands she continues on to put on a show with her last jump, thats pretty damn admirable.

[Antithesis]

OK, I'll be sportsmanly. You can do well, Heather. 4th is 'doing well'.

[Rod Hockey]

Crazy

[Machiavelli]

Another one goes for too much and falls.

Yikes, that's gotta suck.

[DownInFlames]

That was a great run until the end.

[3 Justin 3]

Choked!!

[-TC-]

oh wow, great effort...

[Antithesis]

For her to have finished with that time she must have really been motoring.

[Methanolic]

.....Blame it on the Rain............:whistle:

[3 Justin 3]

Jenn Heil up now. GO CANADA GO!!

[Moose]

I wonder if these last couple competitors heard about the sub-28 second time and felt pressured to go faster than they would normally feel comfortable with.

[-TC-]

it's time Jen, it's time

[Rod Hockey]

Good clean fast run

[3 Justin 3]

[Diet Water]

Too much suspense.

[Antithesis]

Man, she looks like she's gonna barf.

[3 Justin 3]

All the pressure, CHOKE!!!

[Machiavelli]

I abhor the American suits. The stars are nasty, makes them look like pajamas.

Excellent run, though. Dammit.

[Fire]

[Eastern Girl]
