Was a fun night.
Men's moguls, won by the Canadian who won them four years ago. Was a nice story with his brother who has CP. I think the Canadians actually swept the event, not sure. I know two got medals.
The Dutch swept in 1500m speed skating. A set of twins got gold and silver i believe.
Another Canadian gold in short track speed skating.
Mancuso got bronze in the Women's supercombined , which was fun to watch. I like the downhill best.
Half pipe snowboarding tomm. I hope they got the halfpipe sorted out. The snow today was pretty bad. I don't anything about snow sports and even i could see how crappy it was.
I think curling is pretty big in Canada.

I like Curling somehow, although i don´t really understand the rules 
And I love Biathlon, it can be so intenese, when, let´s say, 5 people stand next to each other at the shooting and it is the last round and they all need to hit all five targets. And it´s amazing how they hold their breath and are calm after they ran so much. But I don´t have the hope, that the germans can finally get a medal there...they´re doing bad at this Olympic games.
Looking forward to women´s ski jumping because germany has chances to get a medal there. And of course women´s luge, currently 1st and 2nd after two runs.

Finishing up the half pipe snowboarding right now. How disappointing that the event is so affected by the crappy halfpipe. I don't know anything about snowboarding , but even i can tell they aren't getting much speed.
The only thing that should matter in these competitions is the rider. How they adjust and adapt to a crappy pipe shouldn't factor into who wins!
Many of the riders are blaming the IOC and FIS for contracting out to a cheaper company instead of using the best halfpipe makers. The high temps probably aren't helping either.
I'm kind of rooting for the Swiss rider over Shawn white. Not sure why, i should be rooting for Team USA. The Kid from Japan is pretty awesome too.
IOC is shameful.
Spoilers
That had me nervous. Waiting for scores. Before they come in, i think White should get silver. He made two small mistakes......
Gold for Yuri! Good judging, i thought he had the best and cleanest run. White didn't even make the podium... Can't help but think it was due to the shitty half pipe. Maybe not, i don't follow how he does in other events.
