Erdbeereis Posted February 15, 2010 Already done. Last night an Alex Something won gold in downhill skiing. He was really happy. In second was an Aussie, who didn't look impressed at all. Yep, Men's Moguls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prateek Posted February 15, 2010 Hopefully Canada can get gold or at least a medal on their home turf. I'll for sure be keeping up with all Canada's games. Definitely going to need to watch out for the US, Sweden, Finland, and Russia though. It'll be nice to see Canada get gold or silver. If they get bronze, it's not acceptable.

Ratshot Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) Canada just got second place in Men's Snow Board racing, we were leading by quite a bit until aprox. the last 4 seconds. What a let down Edited February 15, 2010 by Ratshot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Millacol88 Posted February 15, 2010 Already done. Last night an Alex Something won gold in downhill skiing. He was really happy. In second was an Aussie, who didn't look impressed at all.I'm hoping for Jon Montgomery to win some medals. He's in skeleton, and I know his sister. Sorry, I should have been clearer. I meant it would be nice to get a medal in hockey, seen as how our reputation of being hockey-crazy canucks is on the line! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a let down Sometimes it is better to be the guy just behind the leader and then you can plan your sneak attack at the finish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
posades Posted February 16, 2010 Gah it sucks not having cable here at my apartment, I can't watch the sports live. Too bad I missed out on Snowboard Cross, that is one of my favorites. Nice to see the US doing well, hopefully they can win the overall gold medal count. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deinonychus Posted February 16, 2010 Sorry, I should have been clearer. I meant it would be nice to get a medal in hockey, seen as how our reputation of being hockey-crazy canucks is on the line! I have a feeling that the hockey medals will end up being distributed between Russia, Canada, and the Czech Republic. Russia is my favorite for the gold...they're just LOADED. Of course, I'd love to see the USA get a medal...but I seriously doubt they have a chance Can't wait for the games to start Tuesday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Etzel Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) Sweden got it's second gold medal about one hour ago, Björn Ferry in the men's biathlon pursuit! Now we are before Canada in the medal standings EDIT: Hm, not anymore. Well, it was fun for a little while Edited February 16, 2010 by Etzel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ricecracker Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) Yeah! Another gold for Canada! That's gold in women's and silver in men's snowboard cross. Posades, maybe it'd be a good idea to add medal standings, or a link to a website that has them in the first post?

The Legonater Posted February 17, 2010 Yeah! Another gold for Canada! That's gold in women's and silver in men's snowboard cross. I was gonna say that... Funny though, For YEARS Canada has never got a Gold at home, now they have two. We shuold put a monument on that mountain... ARGH! I remembered what it was five minutes ago! That was a chepskate win though; Two people fell and went off the course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icesaber Posted February 17, 2010 I wish the Olympics would use a point system for ranking medals. For example, gold could be three points, silver two, etc. Gold should take precedence but all other medals should not be disregarded. Also, a big shoutout to Mexico's one man team. The underdogs deserve more coverage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep I'll do that, but I'll use ESPN's page just to be different from the other links you guys posted. I'm surprised Germany is doing so well, didn't know they had such a strong group of athletes for the Winter Games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
