Not only that, just watched the opening ceremony. There was a malfunction with the Olympic flame cauldron and they had to erect it only a 3rd of the way complete. Engineering Fail!

The ceremony was completely boring. Not nearly as good as last Olympics.

Tell you what, he didn't feel a thing... http://www.theync.com/media.php?name=14129-luge the noise he made when hitting the pole, well, he was out right there and then. Really no vid warning to post here, nothing is really seen to hurt the eyes or mind.

Off of the luge topic...

I don't know about anyone else but I am really glad that the Canadian won the gold in men's moguls. That is truly an amazing story.

Here's some info if you don't know about it.

Edit: The story really doesn't go into this but Bilodeau gave up hockey for skiing because his brother couldn't skate, but he could ski.

Yeah, they didn't do too well, but what can you say, the European countries (especially Austria, Netherlands, and Switzerland to name a few) are basically born with skis on their feet.
