But you have the internet, apparently …

When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity.

When many people suffer from a delusion, it is called religion.

So, is anyone actually working today?

Of course. Been sitting in front of my computer all morning.

OOooo. Protest against the French ski cross winners. Pants too tight and stiffening things in the cuff to make them more aero.

Debate? Bikes are made for riding not pushing.

Other than hockey on Sunday morning does Canada have a legit shot at any other medals? And why is there even more speed skating?

3 sleds in the startlist for 4-man bobsled. Canada finished 6th and 7th in the 2-man. I'd like to hope we can sneak into the medals here as well.

Men and Women are both in participating in speedskating team pursuit. Canadian men had 3rd fastest time in the semifinals and will race for Bronze against Poland. The women are racing for 5th/6th against the US.

3 Canadian men in Mens Parallel Snowboarding Slalom. The Russian/US guy will probably win. Meanwhile on the womens side, we're a bit stronger. I think we will take at least a medal here.

I figure we'll nab a gold in hockey, bronze in speedskating and a bronze in the snowboarding.

This trip to Kelowna was definately an undertaking - Liam and I had been planning this project for 24 hours. We worked really hard to pull out all the stops in this video. We had slo-mo goggle shots; time lapses; pedal flips; outrageous product shots; unloading and loading the bike; walking through the field with your hand in wheat. At the end of the day this trip was all about just getting out and riding with all my friends.

The scores tell the tale of the tape. Yuna Kim did less jumps and her degree of difficulty was less.

But whatever..judged events are teh suck.

are you guys really debating figure skating results? figure skating has always been a huge joke, and they've done nothing to prove otherwise.
