This Canadian will be forever grateful if somebody has a link to the entire Canadian Ice dance program that won Gold I missed it last night and I'm still kicking myself.

Mameblanche I don't know if you can access this, it is from NBC's site but give it a try. Otherwise you could google the Canadian TV channel that is showing the olympics to see if they have it.

Oh Man, really bad luge crash, very scarey....it was the USA girl, Emily Sweeney, but she seems to be fine but says she is very sore and stiff, getting an xray of her back. Update: no issues with her back.
Damn that sure looked bad.

When Shaun White went down the last time to try to take the lead, I literally stood in the living room, wringing my hands cause I kept thinking he was going to fall. I can't imagine what tonight will bring.... I may need a valium.

I really like this song that the Chinese pair are skating to, and they really did excellent choreography to go with the song. Sometimes I feel like the choreography doesn't match the song, but not this one.

I keep forgetting to mention how cool and entertaining I think it is that the S.Koreans have Olympic cheerleaders, every time I see or hear them it makes me smile.

I am very annoyed that Shaun White is being called out for 'flag etiquette' after he won the gold. He's just dropped 4-5 stories into a bowl, 'as hard as concrete' they say, is pumped up after winning something he desired for 4 years, is carrying a snowboard, is crying and just wants to just celebrate and hug his family....then, someone thrusts a US flag in his hands to carry as well. I'm sorry, but, it's not like he did it on purpose. The last thing he was thinking about at that point was 'flag etiquette".

What did he do? Accidentally drag it on the ground or something?

Yeah, it's much ado about nothing. It's not like they don't all do these things. Heck, you're not even supposed to wear the flag, but the uniforms often do, don't they? The flag code: "The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery..." And during the 2012 Olympics there was stuff about this too. Stupid.

Yes, Jimmer, apparently it hit the ground, I saw the whole thing live and didn't even notice it happening with everything else so exciting, so how could he.
Someone just looking for a problem.

That's what I figured. We often see that sort of thing when athletes are running around holding a flag. They're excited and distracted. I agree that it's just someone looking for a problem and that it's much ado about nothing.

I think the cheerleaders are from North Korea.. I read a story yesterday that they even have to go to bathroom as a small group to discourage defecting. No one is ever alone. No one can talk to them, guards all around..

Oh, I didn't realize that. Oh, you know I think I did hear about that defection thing.
