that sounds like an ordering convention, not a scoring convention

 

btw, i'm not trying to be difficult i'm two glasses into a bottle of Zin and am procrastinating from finishing the detail on my car (show on sunday).

 

LOL, no worries I questioned it as well. If you look on the IOC's website, wiki, or just do a google search you'll see that the Olympics are scored by the number of golds as opposed to gold medals. Like I mentioned earlier, this is all recent news to me as well. I actually like the system the British and Australians use where you get 5 points for a gold, 3 points for a silver, and 1 point for a bronze. Whatever way people wanna score the Olympics is irrelevant really. The Olympics are so much fun to watch and all athletes should be proud to represent their countries.

Btw, post up some pics of your G once you get it detailed.

 

I missed short track today.

What happened with Apolo Ohno? Did he get a medal?

 

DQ'd, not sure why, didn't watch it, Canada won gold and bronze. Korean guy won silver.

 

Apolo Ohno got DQed because at the final turn, he was caught pushing a Canadian who then fell over.

 

What a douche after he was like its a Canadian judge in Canada what did you expect???? I expect when you push some one you get DQ how many medals did that little rat win over guys getting DQed. What ever happened to class he could have said I don't agree with the judge but there is nothing i can do now!! But instead he looked like a total whiner>


Gold in mens team pursuit speed skating they beat the USA in the final, my friend Lyndon Rush is currently in 2nd after 3 run one run left at 3:45, Go team Rush

 

^ did you see the mens 5000m relay? he totally tried to pull the korean guy back for second place.

 

I guess CTV is in Sylvan Lake right now to film a local pub for the race i am n my way down to watch it so keep an eye out for my BIG head if rush wins a medal. PS i hope my boss isn't watching i am supposed to be at work

 

haha alright ill be watching

 

Another GOLD Canada! Jasey Jay ANDERSON, Snowboarding // Giant Slalom

 

12 Golds so far!

 

Curling: Canada 6 - 3 Norway
That means another Gold which is lucky number 13 for us.
Number 14 Tommorrow !

 

What an GOLDEN day for Canada! Wow!

 

wow, we have really stepped up the last few days. i think we've had 4 medals three days in a row! sure there have been a few disappointments in these games, but how much fun are we having now?! great stuff!

tomorrow will be a blast.

just a question - how has the rest of canada embraced the games? in Vancouver it is nuts as you can tell from CTV coverage. everywhere you look people are wearing Canada gear. i've never seen 2 hour lineups to get into The Bay, and once you get in everything is sold out! what about TO and other parts of the country?
