[OK!]

Germany's putting up a good fight in this game! Good on 'em.

Ouchh, she went down hard.

 

[bouldertcr]

OMG! Ouch! That wipe out looked bad! Glad she was able to walk off the course!

Ok, that just reinforces why when I go skiing, I stick to the "bunny trails"....LOL!

 

[OK!]

Ooh, they just showed the stamp goal...chills everywhere. What a gorgeous, unbelievable move.

If anybody's interested in seeing it, here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5sEzu1njoA&feature=related

And I also love that the guy doing color on the broadcast is John Davidson, former Rangers color guy and current president of the St. Louis Blues.

 

[Bay Hill]

Wow, what a wipeout.

NBC is showing more of the women's downhill than the men's downhill.

 

[DarthKTrava]

OUCH. Two female skiers wipe out one right after the other. Good thing they're able to walk away from it.

 

[OK!]

Speaking of wipeouts, did you all see the woman who was in practice for cross-country skiing today and went around a turn and disappeared into a ditch? Like there was no safety room or "shoulder" on the practice area, I guess. She fell several feet into a ditch and hit her back on a rock and went to the hospital for tests, but ended up being able to compete later on, thank goodness!

 

[bouldertcr]

Wow, what a run! Doesn't look like that shin played a factor! Gold medal is the best medicine for that shin!

 

[bouldertcr]

Whose idea was it to put that jump at the end of the run? OMG, these crashes keep getting worse!

 

[Cat0727]

Wow, Anja went FLYING....hope she's ok.

 

[ashleybea]

good for Lindsey! She deserved it!

 

[Bay Hill]

I have never seen so many wipeouts in a women's race.

The gold rush continues with Mr. White is a few minutes.

Lindsay and her husband are making me cry!!!!! How sweet are they!!!!!

 

[bouldertcr]

Lindsay and her husband are making me cry!!!!! How sweet are they!!!!!

Yeah, but that should have been a private moment. Nothing like having a camera right there!! How about when her husband said "suck it up, no crying"....LOL! My son was saying the same thing as he watched her. Let those tears flow.....she has worked hard to earn that gold medal!

 

[ashleybea]

Is anyone else confused by the relay?

 

[bouldertcr]

Is anyone else confused by the relay?

Yes, totally!!!

 

[redlight]

I'm so happy for Lindsey. I hope she continues to do well.

Back to Johnny Weir... I love how someone threw him a heart shaped pillow complete with a pink tassel that matched his short program outfit perfectly.

So it was as ugly as his outfit??

Watching halfpipe...poor Japanese guy who totally wiped out.

Same for the American woman who wiped out during Alpine.

But yay, Lindsey Vonn!

 

[Belle Ella]
