No medals for Kaisa in these olympics =(. Feel really sad for her as this was hers last chance ever to take that olympic medal. Biathlon is brutal sport.
 
speedskating suit controversy
I like this story. Americans develop the Mach 39 speed skating suit with Under Armour and Lockheed Martin but don't test it because they were afraid other countries would steal the tech.

Except their tech sucks. Instead of mach 39 it's more like 3.9 mph

LOL @ American paranoia

They have agreed with their sponsor to use the old suits. And already have skated with it. And still were unable to perform.

You'd think that Sachenbacher, being a former cross-country skiing champion, would do better than 4th after shooting clean.

Wooo. UK curlers into the semis on one side, playoffs on another. There's still some chance of medals there!
The UK has always been strong at curling. Well, actually Scotland, and Canada will be forever grateful for inventing the game.

Another reason Salmond can't be permitted to have his way!

(Yeah, I'm aware we're competent curlers, but I'm also aware we can choke like crazy :)

Of all the curlers in the ladies' competition, Eve definitely scares me the most, lol. Her style of play is so bold. If she's on her A-game, it's nuts.

Canada was just messing with Korea. Canada was down 1-4 after three ends, woke up, and then went on to win 9-4.
Luck is often a factor, but anything less than gold for Jennifer Jones would have to be considered an upset. They've been quite dominant.

Though I've found this program more interesting than Moir/Virtue I don't feel like the Russian duo was as tight. Not as synchronous and that last drop seemed loose.

and an appropriate score. Let's see what happens next.

...

This better not beat Moir and Virtue. I think the choreography is dreadful.
 
The rules for women's international hockey confuse me. Canada's second goal was disallowed because there was somebody in the crease, yet there have been 2 goals since where someone was in the crease. I don't understand.
