My favorites were figure skating and snowboarding.

IMO, no one should get paid for running, jumping, and throwing things in the first place. I would get punished for such awful behavior.

A Lol. B The Olympics used to be a stage where people without world wide prestige could get a moment in the spotlight. Maybe its just me but I wonder how the people who went up against s. white in snowboarding felt.

Post by: crustpope on March 01, 2010, 01:20:34 PM: probably the same way Shawn White felt when he first went up against people on the professional snowboarding championships..... ::)

Post by: Red Dragon Thorn on March 01, 2010, 01:23:00 PM: The funniest part of the olypmics was when the commentator said 'The Mctwist, the Whitesnake, the Double double with extra tomato.' I can't wait to see what these guys are doing for tricks next year. That trick is insane.
