    And don't forget about curling. Still trying to figure it out completely so I can train for 2018!

    I hate to admit it but I really enjoyed the American ice dancing pair last night when they won the gold medal. If I could do any of the events at the winter games I would like to be one of the ski jumpers.

    Way back in the day, during the summer, climbed the ski jump near Iron Mountain and stood near the edge - Got the vapors and went back

    Stopped caring about the Olympics but the women's biathlon is cool - leggy, athletic, chicks with rifles

    Damn a strong finish the last couple days of the Olympics pushes Russia to the overall Medal leader for 2014.  I was really hoping we could have taking a couple more Golds in the skiing, snowboarding and bob sleds over the past two days but it just didn't happen. 

    Overall it was a good showing by the US and certainly a lot of fun to watch.  Now we got two years before we can watch the US compete again at the Summer Games in Rio!
