    I was flipping between the US and Canadian feeds... NBC kept going to commercial during the french parts.

    How awesome are these ski jumpers? I understand these guys aren't scared to crash now, but you gotta have serious balls to do this for the first time. They are talking about "the move" needed to make the ski jump work and the guy goes, "If you don't make 'the move', it's suicide." Damn.

    How cool would that have been...but not to include Terry Fox or the family in the lighting of the cauldron was terrible.

    I love this event. They should be shooting targets while skiing. Now that takes talent.

    You know who would be nasty at that? Jason Bourne. He'd take gold with little competition. I know, he's a fictional character, but still, he would be ridiculous.

    Very hard to do though...you have ski-stop-slow your heart rate down very quickly in order to shoot.
