would be an interesting sport for sure.

I wish ski X was around when I was at school.

You guys watch the US v Canada in the hockey? some unbelievable pace in that game.

it was fast .. but it proves just that you have a greater amount of shots at goal means you don't always win

but... did you watch the figure skating, that was shocking

Luckily I have the Olympics on Foxtel so I didn't have to watch any of the crap ice dancing / figure skating.

My wife is a figure skater (used to compete, now coaches) and even she hates ice dancing!

Seems to be a fill in event in my opinion.

Womens hockey is a good watch, they dont hold back. I want one...

Jeezuz, US gave the Swiss a hiding in the womens hockey... Canada have another chance in the mens, but its an uphill struggle for sure for them.
