2006 Winter Olympics

Does anyone follow the Olympics?

I usually just watch the hockey and maybe some skiing and bobsled.

I'm happy so far with Canada's performance in hockey so far with a 16-0 victory over Italy [:D]

i watch it allmost all day its not that bad but is ssome thiong good to watch it come in every 4 year the winter olympics so why not watch it and yes that wipe out of the italy was awsome i think there is more hockey tommorow

Man I was watching some of the lugging and skiing. That lugins looked awesome. They guy was going around 116 kph. It was insane. Im kinda Italian (you would be able to tell if you knew my last name) so its pretty cool to see the olympics over there. My dad has great uncles around there! Its hard for me to believe im only the 3rd generation of my dad's family in the U.S. Well anyways im looking for ward to the half pipe tomorrow. We supposely have the team to beat. More coverage starting momentarily!

In Canada we might be able to watch the hockey live, because only in Canada will 30 million people stay up till 3 to watch a hockey game.

I think if the UK is lucky, we might get one bronze or something, but i highly doubt it. Probaly Canada, America or Russia will win. I'm not too fused, but i do enjoy watching them guys go down the huge ramp and just fly through the air, it looks plain awesome to do

Germany's the favorite[;)]

I love skiing. Its so much fun [:D] I like watching the winter olympics.

I would love to do the luge. Apart from when you fall off [V] Ouch. [:P]

America was just on doing the Snowboarding half pipe, they totally kicked Finlands ass and were doing 1080's all the time.

allmost the doulbe, 17, but it was like 2 pm here, and that's the only thing on except for boring regigues talkshows, homeshopping, pokemon-like cartoons and fishing programs,

at least the animated spiderman comic doesn't make you fall asleep or kill the producers

Canada beat Russia 12-0 and Italy 16-0, America, you better friggin watchout, if you make it to the finals.

I like the hot girls in figure skating mmmmmmmmm. Although the bob-sledding events my favorite.
UK arnt in the medal count yet, but theyll be there soon!!!

^ No they wont

I dont understand Canadians facsination with Ice Hockey. Is it just due to the fact it's the only sport they are good at or what?
