Why do they call the guys skiing our "Canadian Cowboys".

Outside chance in speedskating, figure skating, and men's snowboard cross. Also worth keeping an eye on men's cross country, where Babikov is unlikely to medal but could very well get another best ever Canadian finish.

edit: and with the speedskating, everyone is talking about Wotherspoon, but I honestly think that Jamie Gregg has a much better shot at medaling.

Does it make ANY sense that the snowcross guys wear such baggy clothes? Seems pretty silly.

I thought we had a good chance in men's snowboard cross? We have like 4 guys in there that I can cheer for at least. I love that sport, so exciting. After hockey, definitely my fav.

Good run by our first Canadian. Currently 2nd after the best American. Sounds good to me.

Instead of blue lines on white paint on the alpine course, they should have done the area they call Coaches Corner up in plaid.

I like the snow-cross when they throw the 4 guys in there, makes things so awesome. We retain 2nd place, and the 3rd place guy ATM is 1.5+ seconds behind.

Did David Bakes did just biff it? It says he DNF. My stream on the web is crap and I missed it?

Francois Boivon is the next Canadian up after the American!
