I would go, but obviously I'm rather far away so it isn't really feasible for me. I will be watching though, I quite like a lot of what the Winter Olympics has to offer. I'll be paying rapt attention to the ice hockey tournament, and will probably tune into a bit of the speed skating, luge, skeleton, bobsleigh, ski jumping and snowboarding as well if I get the chance to, but the 8 hour time difference will suck!

I'd say go along if you've got the interest in the events that are taking place, cos if you haven't really anything you'd really like to go along and see the whole trip could just turn out to be a big waste of time and money...

Oh dear, I was really into the whole Canadian olympics, but how the Finnish team started out.. I am not that thrilled anymore :D
We had our official goal at 12 medals, but now like 10 of the events that were on that list, are gone.

I am so ashamed!
And the hockey!
The most anticipated sport!
HOW COME all our BEST players got injured JUST BEFORE the olympics?!

This is madness, this is Sparta.
In an olympic way.
And we are going to the hole!

The Fins are taking a dive, Sarai.

It's obvious.

I have accepted our despicable fall, but unfortunately there are others who haven't.
I am here, at the bottom of the hole, waiting with my pillows and cushions for them.
Just another 4 year until the next ashamenement!
(wtf is that word :lol: )

It's not that bad, come on. The Finnish women's team gave the Russians a spanking, at least.

At least you're not obliged to support Slovakia. The Canadian Women's team kicked our asses 18-0.
