Hey everyone..

how come no one has brought up the Olympics?

Well I think they are great and am watching them daily, good ole' fashion competition. I'm loving the speed skating.. very very intense.

What do you guys think about our Canadian team that got screwed out of the gold? Even though we got a tie-gold with the Rouskies.. still shows the corruption of the judging. VERY similar to bodybuilding judging standards now that I think about it.

But yeah.. what events are you guys interested in?

Hi, Arnold! I usually watch the summer Olympics (tennis, Judo, Tae Kwon Do and basketball). I never really watch the winter competitions...not exciting enough for me I guess.

I watch them whenever i get the chance. The winter olympics are GREAT. I think that the short track speed skating is rather neat. I watch the Mens arial jumping because Eric Bergoust is from my state of Montana. GO ERIC!!!!

I miss the fencing........ Wishing I were back on the pistes again (kicking somebody's a**)

Oh, I would also like go out skiing, but I'm terrible at it. SO TV winter Olympic watching is enough for me.
(by the way the snow board athletes are awesome!!!! I would brake my legs just of thinking of doing the same jumps as them...)

I enjoy them all but especially the figure and dance skating. I like to watch the men skate, they are so powerful and do some amazing things.
Unfortunatly I work 10-12 hrs a day and have missed most of this....if only I remembered to put in a tape......
