My husband commented on that also... they all looked the same, not just in dress but in size and facial features.

That is what we thought it would be... just the 2 man bobsled.

OMG, those are hilarious, sad, but hilarious.
I guess in Russia, you should be happy you have TP to put in the bin.
The Sochi Olympics have also run way over budget — to a record $51 billion — which seems particularly remarkable when you consider that some of the work isn’t actually done. International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach has of course denied that, insisting both that the “stage is ready” and that many concerns, including those over safety and construction, are overblown.
I'm wondering if Jay Carney is moonlighting as the IOC's press secretary.
Did anyone see if Bach was reading from a teleprompter?

Oh, and the missing elevator.
I think what is going on in the hotels is very entertaining

My least favorite competition so far... Moguls... but my husband and I agree on that.
The ski triathlon was something my husband wasn't big on watching but I was... However, once they moved past the skiing in a line, he became more interested. Great to see the chic from Sweden make 2nd because she was much smaller than the other girls (not as thick in the legs and hips).
I took a nap yesterday afternoon so I could work on our taxes last night (which are now done
) and missed the snowboarding so I'm watching that now. I swear watching them is super cool.
Sage from the USA is pretty bad ass... chewed gum the entire time.

That is just a nasty thought... they have to wipe and put it in the trash can because they cannot flush the TP. (ick... ick... ick..)

I was watching the news this morning and they were talking about the US bob sledder that was locked in a bathroom, he didn't have a phone to call for help so he just bashed a big hole in the door.

Rant on....
Alright, does anyone else find that Ashley Wagner gets under their skin???
My husband just loves her and me; blah.... she seems like a snob that needs her spoiled butt kicked. She fought so hard to get on the team to go because technically, she was not skating well beforehand and actually fell on her butt at her last competition and a 15 year old peaked that show, forgot her name. Anyway, my husband just got to watch her skate for the team and when the judges gave her score, she mumbled "this is bullshiat"
How rotten of her... Cameras were right on her and my husband FINALLY says... "yeah, I get what you've been saying...."
I hope she falls on her spoiled rotten butt in the single competition. I think her team will giggle too because you can see the tensions that exists.
rant off.

There was a Troll-ish looking guy representing Canada in the Men's figure skating competition this afternoon. OMG was he weird looking!
red headed guy wearing a white and blue shirt?

Would THIS face lie?
Actually the US won their first gold on Friday night. They won a gold in the ugly sweater event.

Yeah he did... nose all up turned and his shirt looked like it was torn off and his t-shirt was showing.... but at least he didn't mumbled "bull####" when he got his score.
Plushenko was amazing to watch though.

Yes, he was. I was wondering if he was completely an amateur, though. He's been skating for a lotta years.

I was wondering the same thing, and they said he gets better every year, wow.
