Really looking forward to tommorrow night. Lindsey Vonn, Shaun White, Apolo and Shani Davis all in action going for gold. Could be a big night for us.

Bring back Ted Lilly!

PLEASE HELP AIDAN'S FAMILY!!
It was funny when they mentioned that Johnny Weir and Tanith Belbin are roommates. The reason that happened is that one of them would have had to room with Evan Lysecek. It would be a problem since he is Johnny's rival and Tanith's ex.
Someone made a comment like "No matter how many pink tassels he wears, he is the envy of every man in America because he's rooming with Tanith Belbin."

That was funny.
Tanith's beautiful. She and Evan must have made a gorgeous couple.

Actually, Tanith and Johnny look good together. Yes, she is very pretty.That was funny.

Why is that weird?

Sounds like a fun day. I hope Lindsey's shin doesn't hamper her.

Plushenko is arrogant, but you have to be to some degree. He simply wants to destroy the competition. He never makes mistakes and exudes confidence. Evan will have to be at the top of his game again.
Mo on repeating in 2010:
“The question is, do we want to do it? The question is, are we still hungry enough to do it?”
The skater I enjoyed watching the most last night was Stephan Lambiel (sp?) from Switzerland. He missed a couple of jumps, but his spins were gorgeous.
They mentioned that all the other competitors watch him when he practices, and that he is "a skater's skater."
Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer. ~Ted Williams
His spinning was incredible. At one point toward the end, he was spinning so fast that it looked like his head disappeared.
What is it with Germans and sliding down ice ramps
Norway & Canada looking strong. The first match between the two was exciting (well for curling) and the next time they face each other will be a good one.
That's two losses for the U.S., not looking good.

This Curling is super weird. After all of these years, I still never remember what the rules are.
"Owning the Yankees," Steinbrenner once said, "is like owning the Mona Lisa."
Not sure of your gender but seeing other men gush over graceful effeminate men is a bit weird. If I'm going to have a man crush it's going to be a skier, boarder or sledder. Figure Skating is lame.
Bring back Ted Lilly!
It's far more difficult than it looks. They add a substance to the ice's surface to make it even more slippery. The push-off to get the stone moving is far, far more difficult than it appears. The first couple times you try it, you're lucky to get the thing moving more than 20-30 feet.
Fun stuff.
"But what people tend to forget...is that being a Yankee is as much about character as it is about performance; as much about who you are as what you do."
- President Barack Obama
The way I see it, figure skating is the Winter Olympics version of gymnastics. Just trying to just stay on my feet while ice skating makes me appreciate the skill and athleticism of these skaters, regardless of the image they project.
On a different note, I can't stand the new scoring system in the sport. I liked the old system better because at least it was comprehensible to the average
viewer and didn't camouflage extreme bias in the judging.
We do not see things as they are. We see them as we are.
It is never too late to be what you might have been.
It hasn't been good for both United States curling teams. They need a string of wins to get back in.
Hopefully, they can do it, but it's not looking rosy right now.

What completely amazes me is how the male pair skaters lift up their partner high over their head, hold her up there, let go with one hand, and continue to skate forward AND turn.
Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer. ~Ted Williams
I've curled a few times, and it is the hardest sport I've ever tried. I found that I either threw it 20 feet (as you said), or put a bit more on it and fired it straight through the house. Throwing the stone right on the button, as all these curlers can do, is an incredible feat in itself.
Did you have sweepers, or was it just you?
I had sweepers. They were about the same level as me though.
Screw you NBC.....about to watch Lindsey Vonn's downhill run on EuroSport.
Jesus Montero since June 1 (286 at-bats):
.325/.386/.605/.991
July 1 (182 at-bats):

Here comes Vonn in a minute.

Eurosport FTW again. NBC is a pathetically-bad network.
I told you Eurosport has better coverage than both NBC and CTV.

Greatness...now will it hold up?
"Owning the Yankees," Steinbrenner once said, "is like owning the Mona Lisa."
Vonn is in the lead, US 1 and 2!
Great run Lindsey!! takes over 1st....US holding at 1-2 right now. Riesch still to ski though.

.325/.386/.605/.991
July 1 (182 at-bats):

Do you know who her main competitors are? The ones that may have a chance to beat her time?
2009 - World Champion New York Yankees!!
Still have Maria Riesch of Germany to hold off.
"Don't Give Up...Don't Ever Give Up." - Jimmy Valvano

Riesch from Germany. She's the only other skier to win a downhill race this season other then Vonn. She's like 5-6 spots away from going.

.325/.386/.605/.991

I think the 3rd interval will be key for the remaining skiiers.
"Don't Give Up...Don't Ever Give Up." - Jimmy Valvano
One must know pain to be a hero.
Almost a full second between 2nd and 3rd place. The two Americans are really the only ones that have nailed their runs so far.

They are best friends... Her and the German chick?
Not today I guess.

Maybe after the race. But it's business right now.

Goodness...Rolland finishes her race after 2 seconds. Freaking painful.
"Owning the Yankees," Steinbrenner once said, "is like owning the Mona Lisa."
Apparently Vonn spends Christmas at her house every year. I'd find it hard pressed to be friends with my main rival in an individual sport like this.....but more power to them if they can do it.
Jesus Montero since June 1 (286 at-bats):
.325/.386/.605/.991
July 1 (182 at-bats):
.348/.417/.658/1.075
That was an unfortunately brief run.
Thanks...I can't watch at work so I'm following the results on-line (the website is awesome). There are a lot of skiiers so I wanted to see who I had to watch with concern.
So if Riesch doesn't beat her then it's a pretty good bet that she'll take gold?
2009 - World Champion New York Yankees!!
Thank god for the internet.
And from what I know, if she can get by Riesch still in 1st....she's home free barring a big surprise run from an unknown. And Riesch is about to take her run right now.

Still have some Austrians to hold off too.

Oh no..no no no. That is cruel. That was a medal run and down she went.
The margin for error in any event in the Winter Olympics is finer than any sport in the world. These athletes are inches from medals and flame out every time the race.
"Owning the Yankees," Steinbrenner once said, "is like owning the Mona Lisa."
That was a nasty spill.
Nice run from Anja Paerson of Sweden.
Ooops, spoke too soon. DNF

Ouch...tough break for the Swede. She was in silver medal position.
