A lot of these crashes aren't even from guys running into each other, a lot are just losing it mid-air or just falling like Robanske did. Crazy stuff.

Robanske fell/lost control in every race leading up to that one. 3rd time was the charm. Super unfortunate.

Too bad. Robanske was in solid position to make the final and he wiped out of his own accord.

That Australian looks ready to pass out from having his fractured wrist taped up for the small final.

Man, Koe looked like he might get 4, 2 shots later and Norway ends up stealing one. Wow.

I enjoy seeing the Americans place 4th and 5th in the snowboard cross.

Really? I thought it was an excellent attempt personally. Very creative.

The only thing I didn't like about the penalty shot was that Lamoureux didn't fake the between the legs shot good enough to fool Lacasse, making it easy for the goalie to anticipate her going to her backhand

Neither Koe nor Homan are having a really easy go of it so far. Seems like a very competitive field on both sides.

Koe's missed a few shots he probably shouldn't be. Not his best game.

Just finished the figure skating on my PVR.

That was awesome. I really, really enjoyed that. So pleased we got the bronze. What a great way to wrap up your career.

Wow.....the Norwegian skip completely misses a double take out, Canada steals 2 in the 9th. Shocking he missed that totally.

I guess maybe not the worst, there have been many bland and boring attempts by flames players over the years.

What I mean is she did not sell it at all, goalie was with it all the way. When you're going to pull a hot dog move like that you have to make the goalie bite because the shot won't be powerful enough to beat the goalie on its own.

Koe wins another one, this one was closer than it looked on the scoreboard. Koe was clutch to close the game out, the Norwegian skip.........not so much.

I don’t wanna say that Koe was lucky to get that win, but the Norwegian skip gifted some points for sure. Canada is 3-0 though, and that’s all that matters!

Totally agreed. She failed horribly at making Lacasse bite on the between the legs move. With a better fake, it would've been an excellent attempt but it was too easy to read

Norway vs. Sweden in Men’s hockey has been pretty entertaining. Sarah Beaudry still in 7th in Biathlon, hit 19 out of 20 targets.
