Since the Olympics (allegedly) have other sports, we might as well get a thread going.
Some sports started today - with the opening ceremony tomorrow.
Canada's off to a rough start:
Canada's three-time Olympic bronze medal snowboarder Mark McMorris crashed Wednesday night during big air training for the Milan Cortina Games and had to be taken off the course on a stretcher.

Does anyone have a list of medal hopefuls or people to watch

Canada's mixed curling pair won their first outing today.
In in an airplane somewhere above our Saskatchewan crew but there are lists out there I might locate and post tomorrow.
Speed skating (short and long), curling (mixed, men and women, hockey (men and women), freestyle skiing, bobsleigh, & ski jumping are events we have solid medal opportunities in.

Look at those faces...
The bottom guy must be #6.
Imagine what the double skeleton crew would look like.

I meant watching it - not a single second, but I'll go on and on about how much I hate them

Just that some quotes can cover a lot of ground?
