I kept Ski jumping interesting by guessing which position each 'jumper' was going to get - and Ive also now seen my first Biathlon race.
2 medals decided so far, and ive seen both - thats a 100% record that wont last long, Im sure

Yes, Magdalena Neuner became second in the sprint
But it´s really strange that Kuzmina is faster than her...
But it´s ok Neuner will get her olympic victory |

So, congrats to Krammer, even though i didn't watch until the very end. I also saw about half the biathlon. Can't wait until the men's 10km sprint tomorrow
There's no point slapping a schleck - Sean Kelly on "Who needs a slap"

Well i have my schedule for tomorrow semi-organised
I'll watch:
BBC Highlights show
Men's 10km Biathlon
Men's Moguls qualification
It seems a rather thin schedule until ice hockey/Alpine Skiing gets underway.

Moguls - In short, you have to go off the slope between the bulge as quickly as possible and preferably from a technical standpoint well and also show the best two jumps.

Lets see, the main ones are probably:
Skiing - but then everyone knows that
Skeleton - our best medal chances
Curling - other good medal chance
Ice Skating
and Bobsleigh
Personally, im most looking forward to the Skeleton, Bobsleigh, Luge, Ski/Snowboard Cross, Skiing, and Snowboard Parallel Giant Slalom. (As well as watching all other sports as much as possible aswell)

Torino 2006 Men's Moguls - Thanks to IOC's youtube page
The IOC may take down youtube videos, but at least they upload a lot of stuff too, check out their indivdual olympic channels if you ever feel the need to
EDIT: IOC have managed to disable that sort of embedding too!

Sven Kramer!!! wins his first gold medal on the 5000 meters ice speed skating
Also a very surprising result by Korean Seung-Hoon Lee, who gets silver. Never heard of him before.

The moguls is only the toughest most elite event. Only the best athletes can win it.
Nah, lol if an Australain can win a gold, it must be pretty easy.

Short track speed skating is exciting. I watched some and now I feel that I have to watch the rest. Even the crashes are exciting except when a canadian crashes. I did find it very biased that one of the short track speed skaters from canda fell but the judges saw it as he was impeded with so he got a pass to the finals. i just don't find that fair.
Edit: Olivier Jean was the short track skaters name.
And Ohno i thought would do better in the finals.
