I hate all the comparisons as it wasn't as great as Beijing's performance. It was pretty good given all the logistical crap necessary in planning, and the not as long history as China.

lol i knew we never could up Beijing's. Beside, Beijing exceeded everyones expectation because they were trying to show the world their power and what not. and you get crazy performances like that.

Vancouver's were trying to show the spiritualism and what not of our city and the chugs. It was a pretty good opening except the end with the hydraulics fubar and gretzky getting pissed off at the hooligans

Tonight is the 5K speed skating; probably the most anticipated event here in the Netherlands. Everybody expects Sven kramer to win. Everybody. Failure is not an option! I'd hate to be him right now He's racing quite early (against Shani Davis) which means he'll have to go all out... should be a pretty epic race!

We got the gold!!!

And massive congrats to that Korean guy who was 2nd.. he just started skating 4 months ago

Korea almost swept the medals in the 1500m short track speed skating, until the guys who would have placed 2nd and 3rd bumped into each other and slid off the track on the LAST turn, giving the United States silver and bronze.

Must suck for those two dudes.

WOOOOO!!! CANADA'S FIRST GOLD AT HOME!!!

Quote

Mogulist Alexandre Bilodeau won Canada's first ever gold medal on home soil laying down a near-perfect final run at Cypress Mountain on Sunday.

"I went out and I knew what to do," Bilodeau said immediately following the event.

The 2009 overall World Cup champion executed a back full off the top air and a perfect-scoring back iron cross off the bottom air to earn a score of 26.75.

Dale Begg-Smith, competing for Australia, took the silver medal. American skier Bryon Wilson claimed the bronze medal.

Bilodeau, of Rosemere, Que., has topped the podium six times at previous World Cup events. The 22-year-old has often said his brother, Frederic, who has cerebral palsy, has inspired him to push his limits.

"It's really getting me right now," Bilodeau said. "My brother is my inspiration. Growing up with a handicap puts everything in perspective.

"He taught me so many things in my life. I was one of the most surrounded guys.

"I have great friends in the stands waiting for me. I've got everything on my side. Everything is perfect.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT, THERE'S VIDEO OF BILODEAU'S RUN HERE (you need to have Microsoft's SilverLight installed for it to work)- http://www.ctvolympics.ca/video/index.html?assetid=52d2ac6b-bacc-4953-9082-911418932139

Really awesome how he talks about his brother being his inspiration to push himself. CTV (the main Canadian broadcaster of the Games) did a little story on the two brothers and the special relationship they share. Watch it here (again, you need to have SilverLight installed): http://www.ctvolympics.ca/video/index.html?assetid=28db3598-8872-493a-9dc6-71703bf145f8

men's moguls was so much cooler than women's... they all did crazy air tricks, whereas only that one young Canadian competitor did in the women's competition. That and they went a shitload faster.

Totally unnecessary mistake as well

Korea is doing great at regular speed skating as well. First silver on the 1000m for men. Yesterday gold on the 500m for men! And maybe tonight again with Lee on the 500m for women? Let's see and find out!
