North and South Korea are competing as Korea.

This is one of the better things I have seen in sport.

No one has defected from North Korea yet which is surprising, no missiles nothing, are the North and South getting back together again!
The Skeleton was good to watch today, dare devils.
Australia has three medals, three more than i expected, we will probably do better in the ballet type events.

Tried to tune in for the aerial semi-final. All I got was snow...

Oh, very good

The North Korean 500m speed skater was a bit of a worry.  I wouldn't like to be him when he returns home.

TO most families, a bronze medal at age 33 — the oldest ever for an alpine skier — would be considered a proud accomplishment, but apparently not to Lindsey Vonn’s father.

In an emotional third-place finish in her likely final women’s downhill Wednesday, Vonn fought tears while explaining just how special this medal was to her after finishing behind Italy’s Sofia Goggia and Norway’s Ragnhild Mowinckel.

“I wanted to win so much for him,” Vonn, referring to her late grandfather, Don Kildow, said after the race. “But I still think I made him proud. Our family never gives up, and I kept working hard and I’m really proud of this medal. I know he is, too.”

Her pride in the event wasn’t replicated by her father, Alan Kildow.

“It’s great skiing, but it reminds me of something that Buddy Werner used to say,” Kildow told USA Today Sports, referring to a US skier from the 1950s. “He said there’s two places in the race, first and last, and I only want one of them.”



what a horrible thing to say..

just being there deserves a medal in my book....these athletes seem fearless...

The snowboards look more at home in the half pipe rather than skis flapping around, I am waiting for the downhill toboggan race.
