    Like the married couple representing Dominica in cross country skiing. The guy is 40-something, lives on Staten Island and works on Wall Street. NBC pretty much said he's there because of all the money he sends down there for "charity."

      Watched some of this women's singles luge yesterday. Noted as the women stood up after their runs in the skin tight uniforms that there appears to be an advantage in having a low center of gravity while lying in the sled - at least all the top finishers appear to have that. I guess I'd have to try the skeleton to get my center of gravity that low....

          Helluva hockey game. I just wish there were more teams this skilled and this evenly matched.

                Wish we had gotten more explanation. Was is because it didn't meet the standard for reversal (I don't agree)? Wasn't reviewable (if so, why did she review it)? In any case, I'm not going to complain too much, because there shouldn't have been a whistle in the first place.

                  Well, that was disappointing.

                    Horrible decision by the USA d-man. Not sure what she thought she saw.

                    Also - Pierre is a doosh.

                          Huge faceoff win and individual effort by the d-man getting that puck out to center.

                          Game.

                            I don't understand how that second Canada goal counted, and I'm rooting for Canada because of all the Cornell players on the team.

                              Well that continues the overarching theme of getting kicked in the pants for the USA Olympics.

                                On the bright side, the women curlers gave up 7, but not in one end!
