Sports Winter Olympics 2006 - Torino

And it has begun! The Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy.

...I may sound stupid, but is there ANYONE watching it?

- Teddz

 

Didn't know they started. I'll try to catch them sometime. I'll only watch the soccer ones (if any?)

-Seishin

 

Note: WINTER Olympics.

Soccer on Ice. Would be a blast.

- Teddz

 

It would take a real team to even play. But since there's no soccer, then I may watch the skiing, since it looks cool.

-Seishin
(Soccer on Ice should be an idea!)

 

Soccer on Ice? No thanks. Everyone will fall everytime they try to kick the ball. And if you give them ice skates, the ball will pop and the players legs will get cut.

The only winter sports I like are Ice Hockey and Snowboarding. I'm not sure if they have those in the winter olympics, or where I could watch it.

 

Wow. Some people really don't have a clue about Winter Olympics...

Yeah, Snowboarding and Ice Hockey are there...

Think about the Winter Olympics and then think about my name and then you'll realize why I don't know much about it.

 

I watched the opening ceremony! =D Well some of it. ^^; It was getting late when it was replaying. (it aired during school before ><)

I'll be watching. Tho I'm a bigger fan of the Summer Olympics (actually...just gymnastics. X3 Particulary the men's gymnastics. X3) I'll be watching it for hockey mostly. Last winter olympics was soemthing, because during the hoceky final, Canada against USA, our teachers let us watch it, and we all began to paint our faces (some kids with actual paint...the smart ones like me with marker XD). Canada LIVES on Hockey. =D

Even i, the sports hater, enjoys the Olympics and seeing Canada win, esp. HOCKEY! =D

bUt i want the summer ones again. Xx;;; Men's gymnastics~.....

EDIT: Plus a girl from my town, in my grade, whom I basically grew up around, is a snowboarder at an Olympic level. (she's good enough to be in it and has won some world compeititons already i believe, from what my mom-who works for her dad- has told me, but i don't know if they even let people her age into the Olympics. XD She'll probabaly def. be there next time OO)

 

I'm not the biggest fan of the Winter Olympics. Summer's more my bag. Warmer weather beats colder weather any day. I do like to watch some events in the Winter Olympics, but I'm not obsessed with it as much as some people are.

 

Don't Worry teddz KaMe Is here to Back you up on the winter Olimpics being great to watch.. Guess its just us northern Folk who like to watch the winter games...

I know I went out and got rabit ears for my TV.. Cause i have just recently moved and have no cable tv or satelite.. So i was hoping by getting the ears I might be able to pic up the CBC station which It did..

Right now I am watching the Canadian Womens Hockey team play Russia.. and like usual the Canadian Womens are distroying the other teams like its going out of style.. Yesterday they Beat Italy 16-0.. and right now they are beating Russia 12-0...

THe mens hockey will be great to watch though.. The New NHL rules will be carried over to the Olympic games.. And the New Rules have opened up that game big time.. Lots of scoring, Less dirty plays.. So even though Canada has the best team on paper, Its been said that this year All the teams have a great shot at Gold..

I am also looking forward to the Bobsleding.. I love watching it. I wish i could get a rid in one of those..

 

I can't believe that I didn't even know this was going on! I most definitely will be watching the ice skating, although I'm not sure about the rest of it... depends on how much free time I have (although lately I've had a lot, so that shouldn't be a problem ^^). And yeah, I'm with FR.... <333 summer olympics (you <3 men's gymnastics too? Aiiee, we're soul sisters! ^^)

 

Good News For Teddz.. The Swedish Womens Hockey team Beat the Americans today to advance to the Gold medal game.. the Bad new is.. They will have to PLay Canada.. And canada has been distroying all the teams they have played so far..

 

Aye indeed Kame. First time since 1994 has Sweden ever been in a olympic hockey final.

Let's hope that the men would achieve the same, but I hardly doubt that it would happen

- Teddz

 

Canada got beaten by Swizterland! 0-2! Talk about the biggest win of the tournament!

- Teddz

 

Your dreams have come true.. But they threw a game.. Why because they did not want to play canada.. cause if they had won the last round robin game they would have played Canada instead of canada playing Russia..

ANd just for that I hope Finland wins.. Why cause they Are doing wicked.. They Beat canada And they are Thrashing Russia right now..

Canada just seemed like they did not care in these olympics..

Canada needs to go with the Youngers Canadian Stars.. the Guys who Still Love the game and not the money..

 

Candian Women are pwning, man. Pwning. What is it? 14 of the 20 medals Canada has won are held by women?

Bleh. Screw hockey!!! Did you see the great curling yesterday!? that was AWESOMEEEEE~~~

 

Missed the curling game.. But its about time that Canada took gold in that seeing how we are supose to have the best Talent in the world for curling..

Yeah Canada Now has 23 medals as of this morning.. 2 more female Speedskaters have won medals.. But if you read up on the standings The Men even though they did not get many medals, they got a lot of 4th place finish's which is extreemly good.. That means If the Canadian Athletes keep this training up then in the next Olympics we should do even better..

Canada shouls Be cleaning house in the Winter Games anyway.. Its about time..
