If anyone is watching the team figure skating event right now, Tri-Delta Meryl Davis will be competing in just a few minutes.
And she and Charlie were outstanding!

I'm ready to pass out just from watching! That must take so much stamina. The fact that everyone hit the floor immediately after crossing the finish line says a lot.

Agree. It was telling how they all fell to the ground grasping for breath as soon as it was over.
I'm most looking forward to luge, ski jump, and any/all downhill ski events, which means that I will be on the minor NBC networks for two weeks while I avoid most of the figure skating.

I love the Olympics. I studied some Russian in college and I was surprised at how much I remembered about the culture, history and language during the opening ceremonies. I have been trying to read the cyrillic and doing ok. Don't remember what a lot of the words mean.

I think they mentioned it during the opening ceremonies, but apparently the Russians didn't see the mistake. I guess they re-taped the snowflakes opening, and then they showed that on tv. Of course, I'm sure they all know about it anyway.

Russia was apparently shown the practice session footage of the rings!

Nothing gets the Dutch more excited than speed skating. Nothing.
When Kramer, the winner of the 5000m speed skating event was on the track, the streets were empty.
I find it rather boring, especially the 10000m. That takes forever...

I enjoy on weekends the ability to watch less prominent events live during the day, then watch what I missed in primetime at night. I wonder how many people are going to be streaming the Olympics during the day at work...
