I've just done a quick search to find if there was a "winter olympics" thread and could not find anything.
I can't skate, ski, luge or do any winter sports but I do find the speed skating absolutely brilliant. Both the long and short course events just look like great sports. Skill, endurance and with the potential for things to go tits-up at any time. Can't beat it!
Please tell me that I'm not the only one watching it!!

Nothing will beat the girlie show-off snowboarder doing the boarder-cross event... who grabbed her board and landed ar$e backwards and couldn't get it sorted again and was literally pipped to the post for gold medal. Silly sod. Should have just got on with it instead of showing off.
Speedskating is mad too. Mind you; you must be insane to do the luge or the skeleton!
4 medals for korea too - woo hoo!
Hiya Multi-
Did mention a few things about it recently on the "Sprechen Sie Deutsch" thread I occasionally contribute to, but from a German angle.
I like watching the bob sleds, ice dancing, biathlon. The speed skating is pretty cool too. Missed a lot these past few days, though.
Congrats!
But: for Germany- 6 gold, 7 silver, 3 bronze... so :P
i've not had a chance to find out any of the medal listings - great job germany! wow they're doing well eh?
wonder how Oh Canada is doing...and if any of them have been busted for illegal substances this round (there always seems to be one...)
Howz GB doing? anyone?
and have i missed couple's figure skating? the one where they do all the fab jumps, throws, flips and twirls???
