Is It Just Me???

How about the skater Weir who lost out on a medal and then said he was distraught because they changed the schedule where he was and instead of running every 10 minutes they ran every 30, but he was still at the rink way ahead of when he had to skate.
Don't get me wrong, there's some of our athletes showing an amazing amount of heart in the face of adversity and that's what's keeping me watching. Like the female skiier who fell and was taken to the hospital with a concussion and severely bruised hip, and the next day still managed to ski all her races.

A distraught male figure skater? How unusual

I am glad they brought #^&#^&#^&#^& Button back--maybe it's me, but Scotty Hamilton sounds like he's about to have an orgasm every time someone lands a jump.

Yo, Scotty--it's the friggen Olympics--they should be landing those jumps

Not much of a skate fan here, but when the wife says I watch, I watch. Last night I was noticing how our announcers ripped 9 out of 10 non-US skaters apart during their performance. Maybe that's their job. I couldn't see any of what they were saying were flaws, the chick announcer was calling things then taking back what she said on the replay, and when the judges rated them high, absolute silence from our announcers. Maybe I just never paid close attention before, but it just seems like a lot of people's behavior has changed at these events. And stop knocking curling, it's the only sport I can relate to because, versus luge or giant downhill, I could actually picture myself doing it.

Anybody see Sasha Cohen last night! She was fantastic and flawless......she had to wait to skate last, like that was not adversity but she sucked it up and skated just beautifully!
