Is anyone watching them or care about them? I know in the USA you can basicly watch them 20 out of the 24 hours in the day. Are other countries such as the UK and such covering them as much?

I agree, canada will defo be in the gold metal game, prolly against the USA, but once the actual playin starts we will see what happens, olympic hockey is allot diffrent in style and play then NHL.

What kind of olympics is this... Im pretty certain it can't be the 4th yearly one.
13 February 2006, 05:49 UTC#13
lol I saw this guy that was late to a skating match, he was trying to get in, by climbing over the wall right next to the officials, and they pulled him back and said no. Then he just pulled away from them and went like 10 feet away and climbed over

The winter olympics and summer olympics are seperated by only two years, but each only happens every four years. The last winter olympics were in 2002, so this would make it the 4 year mark for the winter olympics. The summer ones just happend in 2004, so it will be 2008 when the next one happens for the summer games.

I watched like 2 mins of the opening ceremony... GAYEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN!
13 February 2006, 10:38 UTC#16
Watched almost all of it yesterday, loved the ski jump things.
13 February 2006, 10:40 UTC#17
Saw some ski jumps and the one man luge(sp?) ???? Really fucking impressive stuff.
13 February 2006, 10:43 UTC#18
Great I missed all the ski jumping when I turned it on it was shitty ice skating. Bore.
13 February 2006, 16:52 UTC#19
YEah the olympics are on for almost the entire day. I watched curling for an hour or so before I went to work. And soon men's hockey begins!!!!1
So far I've watched ski jumping, curling (I know most people think it's the most boring sport in the world, I still like it though

) , nordic combined and the snowboard halfpipe

Any Brits watch "Top Gear" last night? When they were putting in for Jaguar car racing on a circular ice rink for the next Olympics? Was well funny watching him try to drive.

The Canadian style to play hockey is by far my favorite in the world. I don't know if you're willing to admit this, but the Czechs might have better puckhandling skills and the Russkies migth have the speed. But by no means do they combine all of the most important aspects in hockey like physics, skills, puckhandling, speed and shooting in a way that the Canadians do. Canadian hockey is the most perfect hockey to watch. And this is coming from someone who's from a country that has a chance for medals in hockey too. I even own a Team Canada jersey with Dany Heatley's name on the back
by the way Finland just won USA in curling 4-3. Man it was the most exciting game ever

I think that a lot of people would be surprised how many similarities Finland has with Canada.
