<font face="Verdana" size="3" color="#009999">Thank You Norway!!! For your great sportsmanship. An excellent article here on how Norwegian coach Bjornar Haakensmoen allowed Canadians Sara Renner and Beckie Scott to win silver, likely costing his team a medal. That is the spirit of the olympics. </font>

Agreed. Good sportsmanship is a pleasure to see.

The most important thing to be good at target shooting is to control your breating, being able to control your pulse is also good. Doing those two things tend to make it hard to be able to ski fast.

We got 2 gold, 2 silver, and advanced to the gold medal round in men's curling. So in perspective the men losing hockey should be nothing. I would say they even deserved to lose, and CBC deserves it as well for not doing a better job of covering other sports. The CBC will make it seem a big deal as it is the only sport they seem to be covering. </font>

I heard alot of people mentioning that, Pritchke, and I agree. Hockey, while our national sport, and a vital part of our culture, is not all the games.

I tend to dislike the "high glory" sports like Football, Hockey and Baseball, if only for the fact everyone pays attention to they and not the other sports.

Canada and the US are both out. I'd expected Canada to go all the way, now i hope Finland can pull off a stunt. It's more likely the Czechs will be king of the hill again though.

Canada? Hah... we can't score if our lives depended on it.

So what is the deal. We get any medal?

Not for hockey no. If we made it to the semis, we would have had a chance for bronze, but no dice.

Well that is just not right. Lets have a rematch? [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]
