Yeah, I can't judge what's better in ice dance. I liked the american's (Brady bunch boy and empress of mars) routine better, but honestly I couldn't tell who was scoring higher. Seemed like high level standard for bothe teams, like it should be!
I also liked the Russian (?) Zombie routine! Unique and imaginative!

Are we to believe that out of seven bobsled entries, FIVE of them are American? That's according to NBC.
Seven sleds down the track, five are American. Just totally pathetic coverage.
EDIT:
SEVEN out of nine runs televised are Americans. It's as if no one else was competing.

They dominated? Ye gads Ward you are such a rank flag waver!
To put it in context the conspiracy kooks in Canada claim the fix was in. The reality was that even if it was there was no discernible difference in quality of performance. you may as well have spun a bottle.
Nice try BruceJim KayBrennan . It has nothing at all to do with flag waving.
The Canuck couple , Virtue and Moir, you could see it on their faces immediately after White and Davis finished their nearly perfect program---before the judges' verdicts. They knew. Game over.
You characterized the Canadian "fix is in crowd" properly as "kooks". Good observation.
Moir and Virtue are yesterday's news. Canada won't see Gold in this event until the Olympics come back to Canuckastan, probably sometime after you have long been frozen in a block of ice ---or however they bury people up there.

Of course you are a figure skating judge too Ward, big surprise. I hear your double sow cows are just spectacular.
But just cause you're an ice prancing climate change princess doesn't mean you know how every event will end up.
Maybe you want to put a wager where your know it all mouth is?

Another irrelevant ,vain attempt to shift this crushing loss onto someone who is merely reiterating the awful truth. Me knowing ,or not knowing, anything about ice dancing won't change the fact that US won Gold. Will it?

You're going to have to get smarter than that, which is not possible given what I already know about you in our few exchanges on this thread.
But nothing personal.
Have a good remaining Winter Olympics. All the best to the excellent Canadian athletes.

Yes Ward- gold metal all over the place. Thanks again for all the wisdom you bestow upon thee with every post. Even tho the rancor is needless I'm quite enjoying it since you called me a moron for no reason upthread.

I did? Wow, sorry dude. I apologize. I must have been pissed about something ---or you are wrong and I had plenty of reason.
In any case it's all spilled milk under the bridge.

I repeat. They should remove all sports which involve judging from the Olympics. The Olympic motto is 'Citius, Altius, Fortius' which translates to 'Faster, Higher, Stronger.' I don't see the words 'style' or 'grace' or a reference to anything artistic in there at all.

What an absolutely dead-on moronic statement.
No one wants to hear your stupid appraisal of snowboarding, or any other sport.
Whatever Ward, since you're too much of a bitch to make nice with a friendly wager in the true spirit of the Olympics I can only accept your spilled milk & will be sure to spit it back in your face when my countrymen dominate your home fed, little university educated hockey players in the gold medal game.
Like you probably even care anyways, you're a figure skater at heart!
.......That is of course if I don't end up with a sickle & hammer on my face from talking too much sh#t on the Internet but I'm pretty sure it's gonna be ok.

BH, ski jumping has judges. But those half-bowl sports are bogus.
And hockey does too, in effect.
The Finns look hard to beat with Rask in the net.

It's a Good Olympic Day for Norway and Finland...
Two "old" and exceptional Norwegian athletes and role models were among the winners today - Marit Bjørgen and Ole Einar Bjørndalen.
