Short track speed skating is so awesome. Wildly entertaining.

You aren't being ironic, are you?

The performance by the US Ski Team has just been fantastic. Bode Miller finally puts his naysayers to rest with a very memorable performance. And Mancuso + Vonn are cleaning up where the the Swiss and Austrians have ruled for decades. This is just fantastic.

I watched for the first time while out to eat, and is it just me or do the medals look like CD's?

The last olympics I think they actually were CDs, with a frickin hole in the middle! I think these look much better. A little warped maybe, but better!

The medals are made out of gold/silver/bronze reclaimed from landfill electronics.

Yep. Of course you'd never know it from NBC's coverage. I understand that they can't show every minute of every race but from all accounts this has been one of the best Olympics for American skiers EVER and it just isn't being billed as such by the mainstream coverage.

I'm surprised they haven't capitalized on the attractiveness of the women's skier's more. Perhaps because most of the audience is women? Anyway, I theorize it's a little bit because Bode Miller isn't very likeable.

Vonn was the marquee name going in and on the cover of various mags and whatnot. How are they not capitalizing on her hotness?
