Woohoo... that was great!!! Did you all get to see it??? Apolo was out in front from the very start and never relinquished that spot! What an amazing guy! He did slap some hands after he crossed the finish line... fantastic!!!!  NO, I didn't. None of the links would give me anything that looks like short track. What gives- everything was working fine earlier, and then nothing....  ....I'm feeling picked on.....  |

Woh! That relay...  Did anyne catch the exchange around the second to last lap? USA completely missed the exchange and wasn't able to push off the next skater, so it was basically just a tag. It looked like the skater that was out on the ice grabbed the hand of the oncomer and pulled them to give them extra speed, but no push. What the heck? They are so lucky that that Italy and Japan were so far behind... Oh, that was a close call. Anyone else see it?  |

Just think we get to do this all again in 2 weeks, if we don't find feeds somewhere else to keep us happy. I can't even get the pages to load now. Ya know what it is? We're a small mounain town and there just aren't that many internet access lines. usually it's not a problem, but it's the weekend and the skiers are all up clogging up the internet lines. In the summer it's even worse. D*mn Tourists.....  MODIFY: ...and about all that karma, - yeah, I know, it's almost embarrassing. And I can't really recall what I did to deserve it. |

Hi guys! Saw the 500 here, Lily... it was a great race! Apolo and Charles held their own rather well, didn't they? and the last exchange on the relay was too close of a call for my nerves... think the guys are getting a little pooped...

If it keeps going like this I'm gonna get banned again, though. Cuz my language is going to get reeeeal colorful.  Uh, based on what I've seen so far I'm wondering just what new 'color' it could possibly get to? Careful, babe - we'd like you to stick around awhile...  |

Dear Florida Fan; Yes, I saw the missed push near the end...they must be exhausted after this long, race filled day...I'm weary just from watching...they were amazing though, both the US and the Canadians...I'm a very proud dual citizen! Mntme...I continue to sympathize with you...I did get the video eventually but no sound..however know what you mean about tourist maxing out the local systems...we get that here in Vancouver in the summers,winters the tourists are mostly at Whistler and Black comb where the Olympic skiing events will be held Never fear, we'll likely get much clearer video on utube in a few days..and we did get to share the news as it happened thanks to this crew of informed and generous women. Pleasant dreams all...will check in tomorrow...  mm |

Night all, Thanks for the sympathy. I'm getting closer, at least it didn't freeze my computer up solid today. Might I dare to think I'll actually see a video of something I want to see tomorrow? (As opposed to cheesy Korean soap operas....sniff, wimper, whine...)

I've got more colors than the rainbow! Colors the human eye can't even process. I'll make it up if I have to! But probably not until after I get girl of the week, though. My campaign begins now!  *snerf snerf* |
