FAIL!

 

These Winter Olympics are a joke. At least Vonn won bronze for her grandfather.

Aww, come on. They've been as fun as ever. A tie for men's bobsled gold, and great performances in the halfpipe competitions.

They're probably worried about someone pulling a Kaepernick.

 

Speaking of him. Did you hear that after listening to Fergie sing at the NBA All-Star game he stood up and asked her to stop because she was butchering the Anthem so badly? :D

Can't argue that man. But really? The USA is way down in medals this time around.

Nasty hit! Hate to see stuff to the head.

 

Goodnight!

 

I know right?

 

It doesn't matter what sport! My oldest daughter is a soccer stud center back. She had two concussions when she was in high school. It was a nightmare.

 

Now she is going to Monterey to play D2 women's soccer. All I can do is hope and pray for no more concussions. SHE ROCKS!

I have tears in my eyes! The US Women Team should teach the US Men's team a few things about winning! The San Jose Sharks should take notes! LOL!

Can't stay awake for the end! I hope it's good! Good night!

The finish was epic. USA and Canada both had great chances in the 20 min OT, only to be stoned by great goaltending. The shootout was intense, with Canada giving the more creative effort, but failing to win in the first five. USA winning on the first extra penalty was awesome!

I've never liked Vonn. She was a total bitch to her teammates and cost one a gold in Vancouver.

Got any more on that story?

She wiped out on one of her runs in an event, and didn't clear the course, even though she could have. Julia Mancuso (who is better looking anyway) was released for her run, and they had to stop her midway, where she was the defending gold medalist. By the time she got to do her re-run, the course had deteriorated and she had no chance. Vonn was like, "Oh well, sorry".

By the time she got to do her re-run, the course had deteriorated and she had no chance. Vonn was like, "Oh well, sorry".

This article has a different take on it...

 

Vonn had attacked the top section of the course, which was shrouded in thick fog, and was 0.35 seconds up on Elisabeth Goergel, who posted today's fastest run, at the third and final interval split. She was still charging hard when she caught her outside ski in the soft snow and spun around before crashing into the blue safety netting.

 

“I was like a pretzel in the nets,” said Vonn, who couldn’t get untangled quickly enough for Mancuso to be allowed to stay on course. Normally the interval between racers is longer, but due to the bad weather, officials decided to start the racers closer together to try to get the first run completed while conditions permitted. That’s why Mancuso was unaware Vonn had crashed, and was allowed to complete much of her run before being flagged.

 

“I feel terrible…. With course conditions deteriorating like they were, it was hard for her to come down with a fast run,” said Vonn afterward, acknowledging that she had hurt reigning Olympic champion Mancuso’s shot at getting another medal in the event. “It’s really hard [to start over], especially in GS. You’re so physically tired, and all the wax is off your skis. … She had a huge disadvantage.”

 

While Mancuso was allowed to redo her run, the course had become more rutted by the time she started again – already taxed by an all-out attempt the first time around. She finished 1.3 seconds behind the leader, putting her in 18th for the first of two runs.
