Historically, we have been very good at short track speed skating and Aerial skiiing, both of which are mainly in week 2.

The forcast for Vancouver for the next 5 days or so is beautiful bright sunshine ! It's just gorgeous this morning.

Anyone just see the X-country skier just tumble into that ditch??!!

You have to think Sean White will take the gold in half-pipe today. Watch out for his double mctwist! He is insane.

USA today predictions for Medals. They predict Canada will walk away with the most medals...

Of the events that have been completed, we are only 1 medal behind this pace.

I don't really get all the disappointment about Hamelin. Yes he faltered in his first race but he still has 2 more events doesn't he?

If he is as good of a skater as everyone thinks he has as good of a chance as anybody.

I don't like the way Canada is playing the 8th end of this game against Japan. She's stuck playing defensive curling.

Woman's downhill is happening now!

[Table 5]

I know it's generally frowned upon, but does anyone know of a CTV olympic feed that can be accessed outside of the country? It's such a shame having to watch a lot of stuff on tape delay via NBC. Instead of women's alpine, I get to watch US/Germany curling.

Woman's downhill some girl just took a crazy fall. Ouch

There are independent sites that stream live tv. That might be your best bet. I won't post the site that I know about because I don't think the mods would like it.

CTV's website is only for Canada I take it?

[Table 5]

Yeah, unfortunately CTV's website gives me a nice big blank screen.

Lol at the girl sliding down the hill.

[dissentowner]

Wow, another chick just did a very nice face plant!

[Regulator75]

Anyone watching curling? If so, what's with that musical noise thing?

It sounds like someone is playing a giant Simon in the crowd.

Maybe someone trying to entertain themselves?

[greyshep]

Whoa that was a nice faceplant followed by a butt slide into the finish line. Good stuff!

This womens downhill is fun to watch. (as long as no major injuries occur of course)
