What is wrong with Silver? I for one have no doubt he tried his best.

So true. I love the olympics.

Is there anyway to bring a nation together?

We got Flames fans cheering with Oiler fans and Oiler fans cheering with Canuck fans.

Its magical

Pretty sure if he didn't have such a lead people wouldn't be disappointed. Either way great job by Robertson!

Silver is awesome, but it just really looked like he had Gold locked up.

And he lost to the guy who won it last time, not some hack racer. And the American made a huge push to pass him. Silver is awesome.

Did the other yank get bronze, or the racer? I hope they didn't get 2 medals AGAIN.

He's not the favourite as in previous olympics though.

Watching that race again, you can tell he probably thought he had it won.

He was taking the high turns and not going for a ton of air on those jumps, as soon as the American passed him he caught right back up to him but there wasn't enough time left at that point.

Yup, there was one turn where he was way up on the wall and the american dude made up like 2 meters right there. His jumps were also short, slowing him down.

From what I've been hearing, He's a dark horse for Gold but I think He's expected to Medal.

He should have stayed low on those banks.
