I'd really like to see the IOC reinstate the amateur rule. I'm watching USA Men hockey vs Latvia. Apparently nearly our entire team is in the NHL. I'd like to see the college kids get their chance again.

I think he forgot to have fun.
That was really heart breaking to witness. He'll be around for a long time though seeing as he's only 21 years old. I'm sure he'll learn from this and apply the lessons learned today in future competitions.

He can share notes with Mikaela . I don't think any of us couch potatoes can truly know the pressure of the Olympics . You represent yourself , coaches , family and country . That's a lot for anyone .
He will learn from this and be around for a long time if he chooses to . Hopefully a gold winner in the future . And let's not forget he won gold in the team event . |

Biathlon play by play guy is cracking me up. The other day I swore he was stumbling drunk but today...not nearly as bad but still slurs/blends everything.

And of course a French judge is being accused of favoring French skaters over others.
Quelle surprise!

Sounds like many of the skaters agree the judge is dirty.

Imagine the sacrifice of working hard for thousands of hours and then losing like this!
- They deserve a measure of justice.

So many crashes in Women’s Super G. Bad visibility, miss a roller and you’re bucked into the air, don’t get back to snow in time to set up for the next gate. Breezy went airborne and hit a gate in the air, a little like Vonn in the downhill.
