Jacobellis finally getting her gold was awesome. Now she can laugh about 2006
I was sitting here thinking, "How the hell is she still racing" because she's been in so many Olympics.

Because only Asian countries seem to want to host the Olympics. 3 straight in one part of the world is really dumb. Damn near impossible for most to watch it live.

Lol, so Russia caught doping again? Its comical at this point that they are allowed to even participate in the Olympics. They should be permanently banned, but we all know the IOC has no balls. The ROC wrist slap is the dumbest thing they could have done.

Seeing rumors elsewhere that it isn't related to doping but a banned substance...diuretic? cold medicine?

If it were straight up doping, i think the decisions would have already come out.

Russia doping 15 year old athletes. Why are they allowed to compete again?

ROC even sounds soviet. I've got to watch Rocky IV tomorrow, then Cool Runnings before the bobsled competition starts. Maybe Mighty Ducks 2 for a full trilogy.

If I am ever feeling suicidal but don't want to die alone, I think I'll take up doubles luge

Should replace doubles with a tandem luge, where a luge sled pulls a skeleton sled down the track

One of the best stand ups.

Start at 2:06 for info on the luge. But seriously, watch the whole thing

So many opportunities for some fighting but both teams just had to kept it classy. Otherwise a good, entertaining hockey game between Sweden and Latvia. Swedes win 3-2.

Men's curling falls to the Swedes 7-4.
