Interesting that the media has all but ignored the greatest woman skier in history, Lindsay Vonn.

Our family are winter Olympic fanatics. This year's coverage is the worst ever. And not just from the time change - the Bejing summer games were easy to watch. For Olympic events, I set the alarm and get up at 4AM to watch live Biathlon or something. But this time around, there is no broadcast when the event is live (and nothing else on) So I have no choice but to watch it recapped which I almost refuse to do. The announcers this year are the worst ever : "Oh my gosh Bob! Did you see that crash in turn one? I don't know how he will ever make up such a devastating loss of time. What a heartbreak and coming into turn two he has a commanding lead and is looking at the gold medal!" "this couple came here to try and win the gold" "this team wants to win this game" Seriously, I could pull kids from our elementary school, fly them to the venue, hand them a mic and they would do no worse.

Sure, that takes away from the nailbiting edge-of-your-seat tension as the stone slooowwwwwlllllly makes its way down the ice, but it's worth watching even so for the sheer grace and beauty of the sport.

I thought so too, but they had a really nice docu-interview with her showing her and her grandfather. Then she came in fourth in the super-G.

been watching (DVR with fast forward) the Olympics too!
Six women on snowboards all running from the same start down a hill of obstacles! What's that called? Missed the finals and so far missed the men. Crazy! f-d
