The 2010 Olympic winter games started in Vancouver Canada last Friday night. We have had the games on most nights. So far we have watched Apollo Anton Ohno win silver in short track. We watched Hannah Kearney win gold and Shannon Bahrke win silver in women's freestyle moguls. We watched some of Bode Millers qualifying runs, he ended up winning the bronze in men's Alpine downhill. We watched some luge events, it is not really a sport I am into. We watched men's Snowboard Cross last night, one of my favorite events, Seth Wescott from the USA won gold, in his second Olympics in a row. Tonight we watched Women's Snowboard Cross, it wasn't in our cards to get a medal. Lindsey Jacobellis who won Silver four years ago was slated to win but she lost control and went off track during the semi's. So sad I really wanted her to win. Saturday we watched some Ski Jumping, the normal hill, the large hill is my favorite. I am excited to watch the men's and women's snowboarding half pipe. I don't want to jinx anything but I am hoping Shaun White will win again. We watched men's figure skating tonight and will probably watch the finals on Thursday night, the were wearing some very interesting costumes. My predictions are Evan Lysace (USA), Gold, Yevgeny Plushenko (Russia), Silver and Johnny Weir (USA), bronze. I will probably watch some of the women's figure skating even though I am not too familiar with either of the two skaters from the United States.
