Even though we had the maple leaf on our jerseys we can still lose. RBC lied to me!

Sasha Cohen did what she has done many times in the past. Starts out strong & totally chokes when it counts the most.

ms_gwyn 02-23-2006 06:09 PM

She got the Silver, Japan the Gold and Slutskaya bronze (she must have fell and not done good with her other elements - besides jumping)

i was looking at the yahoo photos and all the usa skaters did this on ice:

I'm not saying silver is bad. Not at all. I'm just pointing out that there have been other times when she's had the opportunity to really prove to the world that she's the best but she always runs into trouble like she did today. However, good job to her for staying focused in the wake of all the Michelle Kwan hoopla. Not everyone can say they have been to an Olympics & not everyone can say they have a medal regardless of color.

ms_gwyn 02-23-2006 07:27 PM

I know what you mean....

I hear people all the time complaining about how the US Team sucks this year, blah, blah, blah.....

I just keep my mouth closed b/c I am libel to hurt some feelings, with such comments as (this is my nicer): Hey how about you go perform a triple, triple jump combo, do 1 run of a biathlon or one try at ski jumping...then come talk to me.

Besides, only a handful of winter Olympic event is US athletes really excel at anyway...so STFU!


I also have to point out that Michelle Kwan, always did seem to "choke" during the Olympics as well....but man...how many Olympics has she been a part of, including being an alternate.

I am happy that these ladies did so well....GO USA!

i have to disagree. i watched the 1998 game of nagano japan. she did not fall or stumble. the reason she lost was because she was the first to skate. the judges usually dont give out all the points early. tara was somewhere in the end.

however, i think she did fall in salt lake.
