Winter Olympics Day Two, continued
Michelle Kwan. The most beautiful skater ever. Too bad we won't get to see her skate this year.
Is this the first Olympics that luge sliders are wearing booties with separate toes? Isn't that cute? They should dye them different colors.
The Winter Olympic ads have been way better than the Super Bowl ads. I'm laughing my head off at so many of them.
Note to self: don't change your skis twice in the last twenty-four hours before a big downhill race.
Another great name in sports: Antti Autti. Miraculous is that there are enough Europeans interested in the halfpipe to be "podiuming" with the Americans in this crappy sport.
Is it just me, or do the names of the half-pipe moves all sound like the latest slang terms for maijuana?
Felix Gillette wrote Friday in Slate that one of four ways Americans have traditionally won lots of medals in the Winter Olympics is by inventing new sports nobody else cares about. (The other three are hosting the games, changing the rules, and keeping the Russians out.)
