Location: In the Hills of Texas | I love the ice skating!
I have to say..I don't get what NBC is doing but it's beyond strange...From going on and on about how great Putin and Russia is to bringing back the incident with Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding...That was beyond ridiculous and strange..
I was just watching the snowboarding and couldn't believe the Hobo Coats they are wearing..LOL I wonder if Dolly Parton designed them after her song "The Coat of Many Colors?" LOL

| I think every time any news or channel mentions the Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan thing they should have to fork over tons of money to charity. I do understand one short initial report each time the winter Olympics comes around because it is so bizarre, but after a one or two minute blip every 4 years that is it. LOL No interviews of either please. |

NOPE not kidding.
Remember the thread before the games started that many disliked the Ralph Lauren outfits that were worn in the opening ceremonies, then we move onto the outfits for speed skating, then we move onto the downhill, then we move onto the...... it's never ending.
They where it proudly and I am proud of them for being there. |

Location: Gonzales texas | Yes I'm watching! And I record so I can see everything. I love the Olympics!!i also think NBC is horrible!! As much as I've watched I've only seen one medal ceremony! Are they afraid for us to hear the national anthem?? And the woman who made Bode cry should be fired !! He was being so gracious and she did that deliberately!! I was yelling at the TV "shut up woman"!! Anyway the athletes are great love it all. Go USA and good luck to all athletes from all countries!! |

One of her parents may have been from Slovakia or she may have moved there to get citizenship in order to compete. The couple that skated for Japan in Ice Dance are American born with a Japanese parent (I believe) that makes them eligible to skate for Japan. The couple that skated for Germany both moved there to get citizenship in time to compete for that country. I think if you sometimes are up and coming and cannot make the team for your home country, you see if another country might sponsor you and let you skate for them and get your citizenship there if it's possible. |
