We're so c**p at winter sports - well most sports really - that we've just won our first solo gold medal in 30yrs and the first women's solo gold since 1952.
Go Amy! :england: crikey she'll be Dame Amy before you know it! :groucho: |
Can't post much. Watching curling.

The world's record in long-jump (or ski-flying, as I like to call it) is held by a woman. The top athlete in the world, forbidden from competing due to the gender marker on her driver's license. I can watch ten hours of a buncha weirdos brushing a bedpan around the ice with brooms, but I can't watch the most accomplished ski jumper in the world because she is a woman. WTF. This may actually make me buy secret btw. |

Mhmm.....Canada went. :D

I'm gonna learn how....well, I am thinking of learning...I hear there are some places around that teach it...I think what I find most appealing is that it is a sport in which a full range of people can participate...I like that idea...
and, since it has a broom I will feel fine to wear a cute apron over my dress... and, I have lots of warm tights...so, the costume part is set for me !! (winkey face) |
|
Is it just me, or do there seem to be a lot of tantrums going on this time?
(Re: Russian skater, Netherlands speed skater, US downhill skier....) That's unfortunate..... |
Quote:
Yep, some tantrum-y folks for sure! Tonight: Women's Long Program--Figure Skating! :olympics::clap: |
I still wanna luge.
Or drive a bobsled. And I want to try curling. I think it's interesting. |
I want to do that ski jump thing....and just fly, fly, fly.....
Can't You just see the Rubenesque Redhead on limegreen and/or purple skies....tiara in her hair......squealing all the way down??? Oh yeah, baby! <giggling> Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Quote:
Maybe one day they will allow women to compete in this sport--considering a woman actually holds the title for the longest jump--on the very jump she is not allowed to compete on in the Olympics. (love the image! tiara even!) |
YAY! Canada beat the US in hockey (women's). Definitely was an awesome game and a heartbreaker for the US.
|
:nixon::canada: WOOOHOOO HOCKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I played in a hockey tournament sometime in '98. My coach and the other team's coach were both good friends with one of the women on the US team since they had grown up playing with/against each other. She showed up at the game with her gold medal from the games in Nagano. She had the biggest smile on her face as she spoke to both teams. It was pretty cool to see, and I'm sure the Canadian women are wearing that same grin tonight. |

Men's hockey - - - US Women's hockey - - - Canada :thumbsup: |

Men's hockey hasn't played yet for medals (the Medal games will be on the 28th). And I expect it will be Canada. :) |
WOOOHOOO FOR CANADA we did it ............ we won the GOLD in women's hockey :)
I can honestly say that the American women played an amazing game, and gave us a run for our money ~ it was a well fought, hard battle but I have to say that BOTH teams deserve to be proud of what they did today :thumbsup: :canada: |
I'm not huge on figure skating, and I don't know a triple lutz from a triple toe loop....
But how about the Canadian woman Joannie Rochette? Her mother passed away unexpectedly on Sunday. And here she is skating 4 days later to a bronze medal! Congrats for her! I can't imagine how difficult this must have been for her. |
I still like my good ole American boys 'n girls, though.

I cried when Joannie skated her short program the other night, and I also cried tonight watching such an emotional performance tonight. What an amazing skater, having to deal with such a tragedy and yet turn it into a bronze medal ........... she did herself, her mom, her family AND especially Canada proud :watereyes: I am SO damn proud to be Canadian right now :canada: :cheer::thumbsup::clap::happyjump::cheerleader: :pile: |

I definately teared up too Goofy. Its simply amazing to see such a wonderful young woman have to face such a horrible tragedy, and yet want to continue in the competition to do well (which I am sure that's what her mom would have wanted). She took the bronze medal, winning it for herself and her family as well as for the entire country! I don't think you need to be Canadian to feel proud of what she did, it was something that it beyond words to describe :)
