Further Thoughts of an Olympic Nature

Was anyone else creeped out by the British brother and sister ice dancing duo?......

If socialist Europe is so great, why do all of their athletes train here? I'm just sayin'. Lets face it, not even communist trained Drago was a match for Capitalist trained Rocky. For gosh sakes, even the Canadians train here!

Apparently Canada was a bit apprehensive about winning their first gold medal. On the one hand they wanted to win a gold. On the other hand they wanted to be good hosts and continue their lame tradition of failing. Luckily for us, nothing could stop their tradition of lameness... even the 3 golds to date.

Did anyone see this video.... reminds me of the French military.

First Impressions of the Olympics

-How many of these athletes from around the world that compete for other nations actually were either 1.) born in the United States or 2.) train in the United States?

-Have the Olympics become irrelevant? Without great images like Jesse Owens atop the podium in Berlin or a US hockey victory over Russia in the midst of the Cold War I ask if there are any true conflicts anymore in the declining West what with the infection of relativism and multiculturalism? If we're all multicultural and whatnot, what's the point of having games? To compete as the Canadians seem to imply in some sort of second grade soccer game where everyone gets a trophy? Seems like a waste of time if that's all it is.

-Canada sure is coming off as pretty lame eh?

-Can the figure skating uniforms get any more ridiculous?

-Can they incorporate shooting into figure skating in some way? Seemed to make cross country skiing a bit more interesting.

-The short track speed skating - pretty intense and fun... but the winners seem to be the ones who happen not to fall down.
