USA or Canada probably. They sent lots of athletes. We only sent 42  But here they only send people when they really have a chance of winning. |

We only got one stinking medal last time, so I really have given up all hope for Britain. I'm supporting Norway, at least they win |

I picked US just because I'm from it, but I wouldn't be surprised if Norway or Canada did better. Or possibly another country. I really enjoy all the skiing, snowboarding, hockey, and ice skating. They're my favorites (which is most of it ) |

Woman's slope style isn't as exciting they play it more safe.

Oh boy, the BBC's commentators for the women's slope style snowboard weren't the brightest bunch. One guy talked of the friendly rivalry between competitors in these exact words "It's like watching Spider-Man shake hands with Dr. Octagon." Ultimate face palm...

That was a sweet hockey game between USA and Russia! I may have only watched from the third period onward, but that was probably the best part. And that shoot out... Oshie and those goalies were phenomenal. |

This is basically what the Dutch sports program had to say about Ice hockey:
"In a few moments the ice hockey match between Russia and the USA will start. This match receives lots of attention from other countries... but we're not going to show that to you. LOL! Who cares about ice hockey anyway? Let's go win some medals on Ice skating!"

 All the Russians are Butthurt because they say he knocked the net off intentionally though he moved to make a save and then the Russians scored but if the net is off it automatically does not count. |

Oshie and those goalies were phenomenal. I watched all of it. Russia was really dominating the first half. Datsyuk was amazing for Russia. Surprised Bylsma did not use Kane in the shootout but Oshie is pretty good. Ryan Suter was probably one of the best players in that game. Though Jonathan Quick is pretty much the best goalie in the world right now.... Gonna watch the America and Slovenia game tomorrow but the semi finals will most likely be: America vs Sweden Canada vs Russia. |
