2010 WINTER OLYMPICS
Still, the USA leads the medal count which seems odd to myself as well. I like it, as I much prefer the Winter Olympics over the summer Olympics.
Update: Premature, Davis and White won a sliver at the end of the evening in ice dancing.

The Philippine Ski Federation
Philippine Ski Federation has been a member of FIS (Federacion Internacionale de Ski – the world governing body) since 1999. Currently, PSF participates in two to the 9 disciplines under the FIS, namely alpine skiing and snowboarding. Also currently, our athletes and coaches come from United States and Canada. We are the only country, without snow, that consistently sends snowboarders and skiers to the World Cup and World Championships for the last 5 years. Truly we are unique as a people and a country!
This is very cool, now I need to find a way I can support this effort!

I am not the only one fired up about the Olympics. I noticed a boost of activity here at The Wisconsin Skier with the coming of the 2010 Winter Olympic games in Vancouver. I am working to encourage that boost hoping for it bring more of you here and to light the fire of enthusiasm for skiing.

Intrawest, you may know, is the holding company owning Whistler-Blackcomb — the venue for the Olympic mountain events (skiing, sledding, etc).
This Reuter’s story notes the following:
The ski resort near Vancouver where the Olympic downhill events are being staged won’t go on the block in a foreclosure auction on Friday as scheduled, winning a one-week reprieve from creditors, a source with direct knowledge of the talks said on Thursday.
This is just a postponement to next Friday (February 26) of the auction not a cancellation. A regular story of late is Intrawest selling off its other resort holdings (a number of which are ski resorts) and Intrawest may manage to have the auction called off entirely. Certainly, they are spared the embarrassment of losing ownership of resort in the middle of the alpine skiing events.

WOW! What a performance by those two women!
Lindsey Vonn wins the gold in a heck of a performance. The post-victory interview was real cool to watch as well, she was all into it and it paid off for her. Julia obviously did a heck of a job too, what else can be said about a gold & silver.
It is no huge shock Lindsey won, despite the injury. I have not been watching the world cup skiing as much as I usually do but I thought I heard it noted Lindsey has only lost one downhill event this season.
BTW, the three women who wiped out there are all okay.

Before it started out, the Olympics turned grim with Nador’s death. Then the Olympic Flame lighting ceremony flamed out with a prominent malfunction. Of course the weather is all about bad luck, canceling alpine ski events repeatedly.
The only good luck the Canadians have had so far is all about Biladeau’s gold. I hope this Olympics includes a rout of the Canadian Hockey team by the USA team. I would add this to the humor category but the with the first streak of bad luck that would make me a lout.
So, let us all scream and shout to drive out the spirit of loutish luck!
