    But when summer comes, we have SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMING and those gymnasts who couldn't make it as gymnasts doing that flag twirling thingy. Serious whiplash time for me.

    Really enjoyed watching Women's hockey (televised on USA network). Canada vs. OAR (Olympic Athletes of Russia) which Canada won 5-0. For those of you who don't know, Canada and USA are kings in a sport where the rest of the world is trying to catch up. In 2010, Canada pummeled Slovakia 18-0. Not great for the sport, but a thrilling display of talent no less.

    This is a joke correct? there are only 8 teams entered. There are only 12 in the men's - nobody outside NA and E Europe plays; Nobody is "trying to catch up". The Winter Olympics is really only about skiing (not snowboarding) and Bob-sleigh as the true competition same as the summer is about Track and Field. The other sports are just fillers for TV - that's why ratings are so poor, not to mention that the TV focus is human interest at the expense of the actual competition.

    I've heard this before. Just because you don't have any interest in winter Olympics or Women's hockey, don't slight us man. These women's time to shine only occurs once every four years, outside of the time that they played their college hockey. Give them their time in the spotlight.
    But I totally get it.. someone who's from Georgia and would never step foot in Canada or any part of Scandanavia. And you probably don't give a **** about curling either. That's the limits of your pathetic life. You one-dimensional freak.
    But that's okay man. I've written your name in my book.

    Wow you sound like a "liberal" barking at an elephant!
