The CBC here in Canada has lots of live coverage.

Umm....how do I watch it? It's hard to navigate since I don't know German. LOL Where do I go to watch the live feeds?

Woohoo Jefrey Buttle won the Bronze Medal in Mens Figureskating. Emanuel Sandu however fell from 7th to 14th place, poor baby, I'm sure he has an excuse!!

Women's US Hockey team lost to Sweden in The Semi Finals

Shani may not have won gold this time, but he beat Hedrick again! Silver for Davis and Bronze for Hedrick. I love how Shani was chumming it up with the gold medalist, while Hedrick looked pissed.

Thats good for Shani.

The Ladies Figureskating Final should be super exciting since there is less than a point separating the top 3 and only 0.03 separating the top 2.

from the ISU.org site

1 COHEN Sasha USA 66.73

2 SLUTSKAYA Irina RUS 66.70

3 ARAKAWA Shizuka JPN 66.02

The soap opera known as All My Speedskaters continues...

Hetrick and Davis lashed out at each other during a news conference. While both are acting stupid, I think Hetrick is a bigger ass because he says if you don't come to the Olympics to win, you're wasting your time. Memo to Chad: Not all athletes are here to win medals. Some are here because they're young and want to have fun, show what they can do regardless of winning, and be proud to represent their country. It's not all about getting tons of gold medals to show off. He should be happy with what he is getting. What a sorry ass loser.

Women's Figure Skating Results (Don't look if you don't want to know)

Gold: Arkawawa (sp?) from Japan

Silver: Cohen from USA

Bronze: Slutskia from Russia

4th: Suguri (sp?) from Japan

5th: Rochette from Canada

*Arakawa

Wow Sasha Cohen DID NOT deserve the Silver Medal. Everyone I watched with was just SHOCKED at this.

She deserved 4th place IMO.

That 2nd Japanse Skate (the 3rd or 4th last skater) got SCREWED over. She skated an almost perfect skate and ends up out of the medals.

Cohen didn't deserve the score she got IMO!

The results should have been GOLD) Japand SILVER) Japan and BRONZE) Russia

But it goes according to points accumulated. Higher points are awarded for higher level moves. True, one skater might skate a perfectly clean program, but only have moves of a maxium value of, say, 2 pts. a piece. Using this example, a clean program of 7 2pt elements would only garner a score of 14. A program consisting of higher ranking elements could easily rate higher marks, even with falls. Continuing with the same example, a program consisting 7 4pt elements with 2 flawed jumps (let's say, a 2pt deduction on each) and a 2 falls (1pt deduction for each fall) would equal 22, meaning that the second skater would rank higher than the first skater even with flaws and falls. Granted, the actual scoring system is more complicated than this (from what I can gather from what I've read), it's a lot more fair and less biased than the old system (you start with a perfect 6 and then receive deductions for errors) that was done away with after the scandal in pairs skating in Salt Lake City. Am I making any sense?
