Yay, Jan, I found this thread. It must have been tucked down low.
Maybe if everyone dots out the first line (make sure not to go too far or you'll stretch the thread), which is fast to do, we can chit-chat without pi$$ing off our Yank friends. Wish more than just border states could watch along with us. You'd think after paying a bundle for the rights NBC would milk it for all it's worth.

The dots worked perfectly!

It's great to be able to watch events live. Plus CBC shows them again in the evening, plus we also can watch NBC in the evening if we like.

Also, if you have Rogers Digital Cable, I think they are also going to be offering "On Demand" viewing of the previous days events for no extra charge.

That's a lot of Olympics!!!

Ah Jimmer, we may as well enjoy; they only come around every 4 years.

Dh is worried the Canadian hockey girls are going to get cocky and sloppy with the easy ride they have had so far.

Mak, how do you get CBC? Satellite? Cable?

..............Women's Hockey

12-0? Poor Italians. I watched the begining of this and I remember the Italian team's objective was to score once. After the first 3 in a row, I was hoping the Canadians wouldn't be so brutal. Guess I was wrong. Aw well. It is a competition afterall.

Konamouse Canada beat the Russian team 12-0. We beat the Italian team 16-0. We will secure a berth in the finals if we beat Sweden. Sweden already beat Russia so we will finally have a little more competition with Sweden.

Kona they have no choice this year. The HOME TEAM advantage for the final gold round goes to the team with the most scores average so they have to score as much as they can. The italians understood that as the coach said he would consider it a good game if they stayed within 20 goals .

There has been a LOT of talk about it on Canadian TV because it is not our style to rub it in someone's face but they just had to do it :-(:-( because of the rules. Hopefully they can get the rules changed for the 2010 olympics.

It is well understood that Women's Hockey is a 2 nation sport (USA and Canada) so the rule serves no purpose IMHO :-(:-(

I was awake at 4AM PT this morning, due to a cold. I watched the Superpipe competition, and saw the Red Tomato (love that!) win it ... and the silver for U.S. too. Too bad about the Canadian. I also watched some of the Nordic competition.

I just have to say that it's so great to be able to watch CBC at 4AM - live!

Here's my thing about the womens hockey, not a worry that they'll (Canadian team) get cocky, but for such a competitve team, I'd think it'd be kind of boring to play a game against a team that stands no chance at all of winning. Same for team USA, though they aren't racking up the points like Canada it seems like they're winning so easily. I know competitve people and while they want to win, they don't want an easy win.

The first line of every new post appears when someone does a search. Therefore, we put dots (or whatever) in the first line to avoid spoiling things for people that haven't seen it yet.

Mamapors re Apolo Ono, he was running second in the qualifier behind China. Although the first two get through, he tried to pass the Chinese guy to come in first and instead tripped up and came in 4th - therefore, he did not qualify and cannot race in the final to defend his gold He is out of it:-(:-(

I'm confused about Ono's results.

In the results page for the SEMIFINALS, he's shown in the 4th place as Jan mentioned. But in the right hand column indicates he qualified for "Final B."

Then in the results listed for the FINALS it indicates he was 3rd in Final B. And it looks like all the times for Final B were faster than Final A.

So I don't get it. Is he out? Is he in? Are the Final A people the medalists? Or is it the fasted times regardless of which final? Or is there another final from the top finishers in this final?

I love the flying tomato! LOL Since we live so close to Canada we get a few Canadian TV stations and I've been watching the Olympics live on them. Love it!

I figured out my own question after reading up. I guess the Final B is the consolation round.

That women's run was brutal. Oodles of wipe-outs.
