Re: Part IV of the XXIst Winter Olympiad Or All Your Hockey Are Belong to US

Have they actually been skiing for 49 minutes? Holy ****, that looks like torture.

Edit: Okay, it was a relay/team event. That makes more sense. Still, impressive.

Yeah if they only would have shown the race.:rolleyes: I was looking forward to seeing how that team did all day, especially after they did so well in the individual nordic combined with three in the top 6.

Instead they motor right through the coverage from earlier in the day and barely show any of it.

Tough to finish second. But still very cool that we got another medal. The team was good enough to win but Spillane didn't have a great ski and DeMong just didn't have enough to catch the Austrian in the end.

I wish Germany didn't get third otherwise we would have gained a medal on them.

The good thing is Germany can't get a medal in hockey and I don't believe they have any real threats in the short track or long track speed skating, which still have a few more events.

It's going to be close. it's basically going to come down to bobsled. We need to outmedal the Germans in the two-woman bobsled and the four-man boblsed. Which will be very very tough.

Czechs better wake up. I don't like the way this is going. :(

The Latvians have been the better team in this period, no doubt.

One of the missed opportunities of never meeting my maternal grandfather is I never learned to curse like a steelworker in Czech. :mad:

That stinks. I don't feel bad for the Czechs problems right now though. My maternal grandfather was 100% Slovak. :p

Well done, Joannie. Your mother would be so proud!

My maternal grandmother is Slovak. Anyway, the real enemy is Hungary, and I don't see them winning many medals. :p

(What's your Slovak surname? Ours is Popović.)

Hey, have you heard Chris Drury won the Little League World Series? :rolleyes:

I may not have mentioned this before, but Allison Pottinger is really, really cute. :)

I hope the NBC Axis of Evil broadcasts the SK-NOR game. It starts at midnight.

Preblick. I know that it was Americanized, I just don't know from what. Closest things I have found are Prebić, Prebula, Prelich, and Pribik.

Why isn't Jagr playing?

Yeah, Popović was Americanized to Popovich at Ellis Island (after being Magyarized to Popovics in the old country). The town we lived in for 250 years still exists, and has 210 population. Lots of Polish there too -- Kitsko, which is probably from Hokicko. The Hapsburgs didn't care as long as you paid your taxes. :D
