I did not feel bad for the american girl who was snowboarding tonight (the boardercross??), who was winning, went over the last jomp, and did a hotdog trick, landed and fell right on her butt, and lost. Still got a silver metal but lost to a swedish person (I think, red flag, white cross). I had to laugh, thats what she gets for showing off.

Swiss.

Where does the name 'skeleton' come from, btw?

Swedish flag

I admit the country's names are resemblant.

The swiss over here are really chuffed. What with their ice skater getting silver and that gold for Snowboarding.

About the snowboarder: just goes to show that you shouldn't show off while racing in an olympic competition.

I can't believe that the Swiss team beat Canada 2-0!!!

I just found out! Quite impressive.

Yeah, very impressive. I had it figured that Canada would get the gold, but then there's the Swiss with the upset. Makes you realize that the pro-NHL players are NOT all powerful in this tournament (I think Canada has 23-24 on their team, while the Swiss have 3).

Wow, somebody beat Canada? I'm impressed... I really must find the time to watch the Olympics sometime... Just seems that every time I do so curling is the event and two people with brushes are trying desperately to clear the way for the curling iron...

Curling isn't all that bad. It is far more entertaining than some of the summer games.

 

That, and if you think about it, Curling takes a lot more skill than one would first think.

Oh, I'm taking nothing away from the curlers- they worked very hard to be there! i'm just laughing at how goofy the human zambinis look.

Charlie Brown-ish *Arrgh!!*

 

 

We've been Pwnt by the Swiss! OhtEhnO3s~! What is the world coming to?! IT IS THE END OF DAYS!

lol

 

They deserved it though. The Canadian mens team has been playing poorly since they got to Italy. Maybe this'll wake 'em up a bit.

We've been pwned by virtually everyone...

I think the mens team neaded that beating. They've not been playing up-to-par the last little while, but have been getting cockey because of the span in goals between them and their opponents. This should be a good kick in the pants.

I find most of the winter games watchable, where I won't suffer a severe case of boredom. The summer games, on the other hand, are real yawners.

I actually find Curling quite relaxing to watch. Nothing like watching the Olympics while sipping a mug of hot chocolate.

Canada losing to the Swiss and Finland 2-0 both games. Ouch, ya that's a real kick in the rearend alright. Seems to have woken them up a bit though, last I heard it was 2-0 for Canada over the Czechs. On a really good note though not too much of a surprise the Canadian womens' hockey team won gold. Yay.

You Canadians caused to the swiss male curling team to be eliminated well anyway the brits got through

How in the hell do you get eliminated in curling? Do you trip on the ice? Rub each others stones the wrong way?

 

 

 

 

 

Good thing they call them stones and not balls or your phrase would have sounded a little weird

Great one!

That really is great, I might enjoy the "sport" more if it were like that.

That way we Rebellion players could be considers as sportsmen in training

lol- great photoshopping to whoever did so- you almost can't tell that it was altered except for the man's grip on a non-existant handle in the first image...
