Now I know that not every one of you live in a country where winter sports are particularly emphasized, but I'm sure you've heard the news going around recently. What's your thoughts on the current state of events?

Some recent newsflash includes the death of a Georgian luger at a practice run before the Games even began; the opening ceremony (with a few lol errors); the warm weather being problematic to the Games (I'm sure Aicebo can relate); passing of the torch (Arnold!); the first actual events which began today. Won't post any links; you can find any piece of news easily.

Just blurb out whatever. smile

Really looking forward to it. It should be amazing!

I feel bad of what happen to Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili Friday.

Other than that, I really enjoyed the opening ceremony.

Yeah me too, I wasn't even aware of it until I just caught the news Friday night. I didn't bother to watch the opening ceremony I was too busy with other things.

Did anyone see the Korean ice skaters collide? They just flew into the side...

One of them shattered their ankle.

Yeah, I think I saw that. There were three Koreans on the top, and the latter two collided into each other right? They flew into the (padded) wall pretty fast.

I won't really start watching until the snowboarding starts

I watched the British bobsled team crash, luckily they weren't hurt other than nasty scrape on their backs from where they were dragged along the ice.

I mainly watch the Olympics for the 'zapping' that's on at the end of the day, at least it is on Eurosport. It's really funny, basically it's clips from the games and some people sit there and add music or sounds to it.

Here's an example of it from the Beijing Olympics for anyone's who is interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1xSOfGb … re=related

And here's some from Torino in 2006: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCUcoskLEoc

Ice skating I am waiting for just so I can see Stephen Colbert.
