Last nights win in the females’ Hockey left fans with excitement, and the world with mouth’s dropped. Canada did something that we usually wait to do when we get home our out of the venue area. The female hockey team won against US, they decided to grab a cigar and crack a beer and celebrate on the hockey rink. People were so upset that Canada would do this, but hey, good for them.

We all know that those ladies would of been going out and drinking and celebrating afterwards, why not include the people and see them happy while celebrating. The International Olympic Committee has the normal stick up their butts, and are wasting time by stating they will be looking into it. Would the Olympic Committee really strip them of their medals for early celebration?

The flying tomato has won another gold. I watched the snowboarding event yesterday, and saw White’s new trick, the “Double McTwist 1260.” I will say it was amazing. It was enjoyable watching all the other countries try so hard at snowboarding while White made it so simple. I wonder though if they test each snowboarder for marijuana before the events. I mean the way they act seems like they are all high. White was amazed and happy to hear when he won the gold, and said “Shake N Bake.” Okay, Shaun, Shake N Bake. Shaun’s gold win was only one of six medal wins for the US yesterday, launching them to a the lead with a total of 14 medals.

Chad Hendrick ended up taking the bronze in speed skating for the US. Lindsay Vonn finally got her gold in downhill alpine skiing, and still is in another skiing event later today. Vonn overcame a bruised shin, which some thought she would not of been able to compete. She shook it off like a true athlete and went for the gold that she very much deserved. Let’s also not forget Shani Davis who won another gold in speedskating. The event has several men in weird speedo like outfits swinging their arms and skating as fast as possible. Davis said,”It doesn’t matter what it looks like, just as long as you get across the line as quick as you could.” Stephen Colbert was able to bare witness to this gold win. Colbert who just recently said Canadians were “ice-holes” was happy to see an American win.

Congrats to the USA team!

Olympic News

It seems to me that the Olympics has turned from a great way of competing against others, to a new soap opera. There has been so many stories about the weirdest things that normally are not in the olympics, and stories about people crying and moaning about not getting their way.

We first had the terrible news of the luger who died. Now a story is being run about the pregnant Canadian curler. Kristie Moore, 30, is currently 5 1/2 months pregnant and participating in the Olympics. Moore states that the pregnancy does not affect her during competition. She found out about her pregnancy only weeks before she found out that Canada asked her to join as an alternate. The team has been supportive of her pregnancy the entire time. The only way Moore sees action during the Olympics is if there is some problem with one of the current four contenders. Canada is currently the gold medal favorite in the curling event.

Second, Norway’s crazy golf pants during the curling event. They bought these golf pants online, and just had fun with them.

Third, Ryan Miller, member of the US hockey team, may not be able to wear a tribute helmet to his namesake. There is a saying on there that says “Miller Time” and it may be mistaken for a beer advertisement. The Olympic logos also maybe too close to the current logos, and could be said as advertising. International Olympic Committee were currently disputing the helmet. The one part that Miller wants to keep is his tribute to his late cousin, that says “Matt Man.”

Top 5 in the Olympics
