Re: Winter Olympics
No kidding. I was just thinking about what would happen if one of the skiers in the men's downhill wiped out at 80+ mph. Easily could be a near-death situation if that happened. I remember one of the lugers at Vancouver died 4 years ago, that's the ultimate price to pay if something goes wrong. The risks are crazy, but clearly being able to call yourself amongst the best in the world at your sport is worth it.

Re: Winter Olympics
I'll be super into the hockey; but beyond that just a casual watcher. Really hoping Team USA can repeat what they did in Vancouver 4 years ago; but its a much tougher field (in my opinion) than it was in Vancouver. Gotta pick up at least two wins (Slovakia and Slovania for sure) in the round robin to make sure we crack the tournament.

Re: Winter Olympics
Turns out the fail is strong Sochi as theres a whole twitter feed called 'Sochi fails' dedicated to many of the bizarre findings coming out of Russia at the moment. Many of which have to do with wash room arrangements.

Re: Winter Olympics
Yawn. Host country won.
Between the doping, the judges in the judged events and the horrible conditions on certain courses such as snowboarding...who didn't see this coming? Russia tops medals table as Games end amid doping scandals | Reuters Oh well, our athletes still made us proud as they always do.
