And Cheryl Bernard is in the womens' curling finals against Sweden who crushed China to get to the final ...

And tonight the womens' hockey team goes up against the US for the gold ... And it looks like most of our medals have been won by our women .... way to go girls:mosher:

Re: Winter Olympics
 

And I read in the local rag this morning that snow isn't the only thing in short supply in Vancouver .... the athletes' villages are quickly running out of condoms:eek::eek::eek: And who said that Canada couldn't throw a party:theband:

Re: Winter Olympics
 

I have watched some ice dancing on Youtube.
The canadian couple who won gold were quite spectacular doing flamenco - as good as Torville and Dean were doing Ravels Bolero.

The rest of the 'snow sports' just leave me cold ;)

Re: Winter Olympics
 

Can't agree with the last part .... but the ice dancing was great ... and it was a special gold medal as Tessa and Scott are the first North American pair to win the gold, and the youngest. They were in the stands, wearing their medals, watching Canada obliterate Russia last night ... even the line with Ovechkin and Malkin couldn't get anything going.

Re: Winter Olympics
 

Women's hockey .... game over .... Canada 2 United States 0 and this is the third straight Olympic gold medal .... Jayna Hefford of Kingston played stand out hockey:theband:

Re: Winter Olympics
 

Just watching the news .... the IOC is po'd at the Canadian womens' hockey team had a wild party after winning the gold ... after everyone had left the arena, the girls took the party out onto the ice, drinking beer and champagne and smoking cigars .... way to go girls .... real Canadian women play hockey, drink champagne right out of the bottle, and smoke .... :alright::cheers: People interviewed on the streets of Kingston think that the IOC should lighten up ... they won the gold, damn right they can party ... let's hear for the Canadian women:mosher:

:rofl38: :rofl38: saw the story here , all the sanctimonius holier than thou types on Fox (Rupert Murdoch) News tut-tutting about the morally corrupt Canadians smoking indoors and under-age drinking :rofl38: :rofl38:

Re: Winter Olympics
 

Yup ... there was one non-Canadian idiot interviewed on the streets of Van who asked, rhetorically I suppose, what kind of role models these women are for the girls and young women of Canada ... didn't take me long to figure out that they provide fantastic role models .... not only for Canadian women, but for women all over the world ... I saw Jayna Hefford of Kingston, after winning her third gold medal, slugging back a bottle of Molson Canadian .... way to go Jayna:theband:
