there is an event like that. It's called ski jumping. I know 2 out of the 4 guys on the canadian ski jump team, I ski with one of them.

haha, not a hope in hell. Canada is favoured to win the gold in both men's and women's. The US isn't even favoured to place at all in the mens. As for womens, ties are determined by total goals scored and against, so canada already has a huge advantage from their 16-0 game against italy and their 12-0 game against russia. We're gonna win gold in both men's and women's.

They may as well just call it the Canadian Games:rolleyes:

shaun white is a God, a GOD I say.

(I just saw footage of his winning run, I'd so do him just for that run)

So I'm watching the men's downhill competition, and my god these guy's are amazing atheletes. Anyone who's taken a run down a race course will agree that it takes serious balls to do what they do. They're flying down what amounts to an insanely steep ice rink at over 100 km/h. I've taken runs down the men's downhill course at Lake Louise, where this year's worl championships were held, and I can safely say there are few moments when I've ever been that scared when I was skiing, and I've had some scary moments. The entire time you're flying down the hill, it's sheer ice, and while you want to bite your edges in and slow down, you know that if you make too much of an adjustment, you're gonna slip out, and you're gonna crash, HARD. Not to mention how insanely stron these guys are. I just watched one guy fly over a jump, good 15 feet (horizontally) and land WAY on the tails of his skis. I've done that, and it takes serious muscle to pull out of a backseat landing, let alone doing it at over 100 km/h.

just wondering adidasss, is there anyone form croatia in the olympics, and if so, who?

HOLY SH*T!!! This is an amazing competition. HUGE upset for Men's Downhill, a french skier, Antoine Deneriaz won the Gold medal, NO one expected him to do so well, props for him. He won by about .74 seconds, HUGE lead, and it was really really unexpected too.

Oh, and spike, croatia has Janica Kostelic, she's competing in all five alpine skiing events, and has come off a major injury and is now a major contender for multiple golds. She won four alpine medals in salt lake, and is one of the most favoured women in the alpine skiing events. The women's events will be interesting to watch, after all the hype around Bode Miller, and after he REALLY didn't deliver, I hope janica lives up to everything being said about her. The good thing is that she's not nearly as ****y as miller, so if she doesn't ski well, it wont make her look as bad.

bode miller goes out partying the night before, then decides to use brand new skies he's never used on one of the biggest days of his career.

and yet i can't even say that's an excuse, that just the way he does things...turned out to **** him over this time
