Women's snowboard cross is on now, kinda cool

I felt so bad for the Jacobellis. She went for what is considered one of the easier tricks and just ate it. It sucks cause she's by far the best at the sport. You can see her strength when others are hitting her board (especially in her quarterfinal qualifying run).

 

I don't know how the hell they ride with contact. Its totally awesome to watch but god I would hate doing it cause I could see myself getting clipped and just going flying like that one girl who went crashing into the net on the finals.

I just saw that Shani Davis Gold Medal run-he put a SOX hat on after the race, but his post race interview, was disgraceful. All the interviewer got was attitude-the ONLY medal winner I have seen, and I watch every night, that was not gracious, and appreciative. It was HIS decision to bolt from the team competition, and as usual, no accountability is taken.

2 U.S. stories in this olympics that have been awesome so far:

 

1. Shani Davis basically telling the media to kiss his ass after they wanted him to be all nice to them AFTER they made him a bad guy for not being a "team player". That team player stuff was bull s***, just NBC and the guy that won the silver to Davis' gold in the 1000 wanting 5 golds for himself, well done Shani.

 

2. Bodie Miller pissing all over himself, good stuff.

The Woman's Aerials was on last night, one of our main hopes Lydia Ierodiaconou had knee surgery about 8 months ago, and when she went for her 2nd jump she tore the ACL in the same knee, after she was 2nd after the 1st jump. Gotta be one of the most tragic things in sports I've seen in quite a while;

Also I just saw Sasha Cohen's short program. I can see why the Flying Tomato likes her. :D

She is very good looking, I'd be making moves too if I was him.
