I did, it was incredible!

Anyone watch women's figure skating? Kim Yu-Na's performance was amazing! No surprise it broke the record and won her the gold.

 

I know! She was incredible!! :)

I'm so happy that Joannie Rochette won bronze though...I can't imagine how hard it must have been for her to skate after losing her mother. :cry: She was amazing considering the circumstances!

That's great, although everyone's saying that apart from Canada and the U.S.A in women's hockey, no team has even the remotest hope of winning gold, as the standard of other countries' play is so poor in comparison.

Therefore maybe it would be better just to have an automatic play-off for the gold medal to save time (and embarrassment).:P

 

Haha maybe, but then teams would complain :P If the other countries don't wanna participate cause they fear they'll lose, then they just don't have to play, really.

Well by all accounts, that's exactly what's been happening!:P

^Meh, i still think that a reasonable amount of teams/countries participated.

 

Anyways, I might sound patriotic, but Canada rocks and I would have been surprised if we had lost the gold medal in women hockey :P

Of course, it's just that the others were all useless!:P

While the US and Canada are definitely heads and shoulders above the rest usually, they could never do that simply because there is always room for an upset. For example in the Turnin Olympics Sweden ended up beating the US in the semis and came home with a silver medal.

 

But I think that might have been a fluke :P

I feel kinda bad for the Koreans that got disqualified.

^Yeah me too.

But atleast we got second because of it. :P

I reckon you're right!:lol:

The "experts" discussing this said it was a similar story in women's football, but not quite as extreme.;)

4-0 to the US after 10mins. At this rate it should be 24-0 by the end, and I expect that.

13mins gone and it's 6! WTF is going on?

Yeah seriously. This is going to be the most boring game ever.

Maybe I'll turn on the Olympics.

I can't believe I sat here in the same room with a TV for so long and didn't even think of it.

By the way, does anyone know who has the most gold medals? :nice:

 

Oh, hockey? :sick:

I'm so unCanadian.

Iceland I think. Logically that makes sense.

Germany, US, and Canada all have 8.

These commercials they play on the Canadian channels about how awesome we are are really getting annoying.

Just thought I'd put that out there. :uhoh:

 

Ah thanks Briggs, so the Country who wins in the medal standings...is it for Golds or just altogether medals?

all togethers.

Well that sucks.

 

I can't believe the score is still 6-0

It's different here. The nation that has the most gold medals wins.

Ja jaa jjaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...........

 

Gold for Maria Riesch:dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

Congratulations to the Finns in a weird kind of way. After a ridiculously embarassing first 12mins, they somehow stopped any further goals going in and got a goal.

 

Yes, USA did totally step off the gas, but they were always going to win comfortably and at least they were stopped from getting a record breaking score line.

 

Classy.
