I doubt the athletes had much of a say in the matter, but I agree it is ridiculous they never even really tested the uniforms. Publicity won over performance I guess.

I'm ready for USA / Russia in the morning.

It's pretty common to race in equipment in which you don't train. You want more resistance during training. In track you have spikes just for the races, in swimming they typically will use higher drag suits.

However, it's not common to not have done much testing with them and then use them in the most important races of their careers.

Not to beat a dead horse but not upset that under armour sponsored equipment continues to get bad publicity. I hope they lose all of their sponsorships so I never have to see their terrible ideas again.

That would suck. I really like their cold weather running gear.

I feel like their actual under-the-armour stuff is good, I like it, especially cold gear like long sleeves. It appears their equipment shoes etc doesn't hold up as well.

That could be. Other than the running gear, the only experience we have with it is my son's lacrosse cleats. They did fine excpet the little snot grew out of them in one season.

I can't believe the snowboard cross chick crashed with such a big lead, brutal.

 

Bode Miller is quite the fertile ladies man, multiple kids from multiple relationships.

The interview with Bode Miller was f***ing awful, how many times can you ask about his dead brother? Give the guy a break, you need to learn how to walk away.

He pulled a bunch of crap with the youngest one too.

That's what they wanted.They want tears. It was pretty disgusting the way she kept pushing.

I read this morning that they were up to 25 stories on athletes' dead relatives. Not sure if that includes the miscarriage they discussed on air with the skeleton medalist.

Choke implies that you are capable of winning but don't. I really don't think Shuster is capable of winning.

I really should have headed over to Eastern Europe to get me a wife.

Mao Asada was one of the two co-favorites for the figure skating gold...went down on her first jump and ended up 16th after the short program.

 

Sad. Great champion.

No I didn't see it. I'll have to check it out on the highlights later.

Not really sad, there was story about her, if she was from South Korea, and it detailed how she didn't really compete much and this was all for fun after winning in Vancouver. She only appeared in a couple of events over the last couple of years and while she was a favorite a top performance would be tough.

 

Again if this was the same female skater and if she was from South Korea.

No I didn't see it. I'll have to check it out on the highlights later.

 

They played Sweden today, the one I was talking about was from Norway yesterday. The buildup was what made it cool.
