Good they finally updated that, with their being two runs for each rider and the best score is kept.

The Ladies' Skiathlon has been pretty neat. Surprised at the separation they can get in just a couple seconds. Exciting finish.
Norway finishes 1st, 3rd, and 4th. Emotional as their teammates brother had died yesterday.
Canada's best finish comes in at 42nd.

Canada's women hockey team with a quick first goal against Switzerland.

Seems like Switzerland is trying not to embarrass themselves rather than win. I suppose the tournament set up where goals for and goals against determine your fate makes it a concern but the Swiss seem to be so hesitant in decision making.
I wouldn't suggest that they could match Canada, but I think if they could get out of the "going up against Canada" mentality and just play they might have a better showing.

After seeing the preview for the Downhill skiing I'm pretty excited to watch that. Only 5/12 of the men on the training run made it down to the bottom without crashing!

While the patriotic side of me hopes our women's hockey team ends up winning gold, I hope the Swiss are able to keep it at 5-0 or the Swiss even pot one. These constant blow outs are not fun to watch nor good for the game. To be honest it wouldn't bug me that much if Canada or the US would lose out to one of the Scandivian teams.

I know it's a bit of a whacky combo sport, but I love watching the biathlon.

Only the Olympics would have me watching team figure skating, a sport I know nothing about. Its hard to cheer for Canada when you have no idea what you are actually cheering for.

That's one of my favorite parts about the Olympics...watching and caring for sports that I would never watch otherwise.

How does a figure skater completely fall on a jump and still get third?

Yup, the Android app is great too!
But I'm already sick of that Visa comercial.

It would be fun to watch all the skaters with no commentary or scores and all personally rank them. Then look at the actual scores and see how wrong everyone was.

Her other jumps and elements were significantly harder than those who finished below her. If you have a very difficult routine, you can get a good finish even with one fall.

These guys make moguls look so easy. I can barely do pizza-pies down the hill.
