It was a full 5 points too, not really close.

Apparently they should have awarded more points to Yuna during both skates... Kind of stinks to me.

I think I didn't say goodbye to Sarah yet, and I still have to do it. Now I feel like I'm able to do it, because I did what she asked me to do when I last saw her two years ago.

I can't find Jones's gold medal win anywhere... I've searched all over CBC's site. Did they take it down already? That was pretty quick. I got home, watched the hockey game, went to watch the curling match... and nadda....

CBC should pull the Del Bosco SportChek ad at this point.

Heartbreak in Vancouver, but he didn't get out of his 1/8th final race earlier today thanks to taking a couple jumps improperly.

BTW - I couldn't get the hockey game to play via airplay and the Sochi app. After a half dozen tries, I could only get it to play in french. I'm semi-bilingual... enough to follow most of what they were saying. But it was just weird that through the app without airplay, I was getting english; with airplay was french. *shrug*

Have you updated the app? Their last update fixed the language issue. I had the same problem earlier in the week but the mid-week update seems to have cleared that up.

Great post. Thanks so much for posting this. Great way for these athletes to remember Sarah Burke. Really touched.

I highly recommend watching this. Same guy that does the HNIC montages.

@b0undless ICYMI here's my @thehipdotcom Blow At High Dough @CBCOlympics musical from Day 13 of the #Sochi2014 Winter Games
