			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.

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

			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.

			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.

This is the listing I am using. Shows TSN, SNET and CTV programming. 
 
Apparently the speed skating is starting in about twenty minutes.

			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.

			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?
