Official 2006 Winter Olympics Thread

There may be little to no interest in the Winter Olympics (for all I know I'm the only fan). Or maybe there are a lot of you wanting to discuss Torino 2006

Either way, for the next couple of weeks let's put all Olympic discussion in this thread.

The only thing I'm really looking forward to is that Board Cross. Sounds pretty interesting. Warpath reminded me of hockey so I'm all about those as well. I'm normally a Summer games guy myself.

i dont no why, but i have absolutely no interest... rather catch an afl game instead.

only winter events that I normally watch r bobsledding, the luge, speed skating, and sometimes I watch the slalom (sp?) and the ski jump.

C'mon now, Hockey of course, and then theres one of the greatest sports of all time. It takes the most training and hard work than any other sport in Olympic history. Strategy and Stamina as well. Find out (http://www.nbcolympics.com/index.html) more about this sport!
p.s. I just bought a shirt (http://stores.xpapparel.com/usacurling/product_info.php?cPath=38_39&products_id=653) as well to show my USA pride.
But yea Im following the 20th winter games

For those that truly dont care, that still end up reading this, heres the medal count to date (Saturday night 12:30am into Sunday morning)

Gold Silver Bronze
Norway 0 2 2
Germany 2 0 0
USA 1 0 0

what'd we gold in?

Winter Olympics will be my life for the next 2 weeks.
Not because I'm all that interested, I've been assigned to work the stats data for ESPN-SportsTicker.
