Two more golds for Canada - Alex Bilodeau in moguls and Charles Hamelin in 1500 metres! And a silver in moguls. So glad to see Canada doing so well early on. It's so awesome to see Canada so confident again and building on Vancouver. Let's keep it up!!

I can't stand Bob Costas and have to admit that I laughed at his pink eye and all the tweets joking about it, but Gawd, Matt Lauer looks like he needs a good scrubbing and grooming. I will take Costas over him any day.

The Russian pair were wonderful. i like the Germans too.

Was so great to see the US men sweep the Slopestyle Skiing. I was especially happy that Joss Christensen got the gold. He so deserved it. Coming in, the media, etc wrote him off, since he was the worst ranked of the 4 Americans. Wasn't even supposed to get to final let alone medal. But he showed them all. Only competitor to have four of his runs above 90 and 3 of his 4 runs were the highest scoring. Talk about picking the right time to peak.

Yuzuru Hanyu needs to win that gold medal tomorrow. He's phenomenal, and was outstanding in both the team event and in his individual short program.

I kind of feel bad for Patrick Chan, being the World Champion and favourite going into the Olympics. He could still squeeze out a gold tomorrow, but if Hanyu continues to skate the way he does, Chan doesn't have a chance.
