alpine skiing-related stories
The Olympics are obviously coming to an
end. NBC is the only channel airing Olympic coverage today and it's devoting much of that coverage to two Olympians who
have been hyped but have yet to win a gold medal.Continue reading The Olympics: Day 16
Whatever will we do now that the
figure skating competition is over? Oh, nevermind. There's the Champions Gala tonight where nobody is expected to fall
(or win).Continue reading The Olympics: Day 15
While NBC is focusing on speed skating
and alpine skiing today, the real action is on its other networks, MSNBC and USA, where you can watch live hockey games
all day long. The American men will play Finland in the quarterfinals at 11:30 this morning. Also, the American men's
curling team is in the semifinal game against Canada. It airs on CNBC at 5 pm.Continue reading The Olympics: Day 13
Three nights of ice dancing? No wonder ratings are down
for the Olympics. Tonight promises to be the final night of ice dancing, with the free skate. Americans Tanith Belbin
and and Ben Agosto are in second place, thanks to some falls by the top teams yesterday.Continue reading The Olympics: Day 11
Ice skating returns to NBC primetime tonight with the
finals in the ice dancing competition where an American team is in contention for a medal. But, the real interesting
action on the ice is over at the speed skating track. Americans Chris Witty and Jennifer Rodriguez are both going for
the gold in the 1000m. Expect to see and hear a lot about Witty from NBC tonight. She has overcome some pretty intense
personal problems since winning gold in Salt Lake City.Continue reading The Olympics: Day 10
Oh joy. Ice dancing
begins tonight on NBC. That's one event that I just can't watch because it looks too much like
high-school-drama-club-on-ice to me. They can't jump or do lifts, so they wear weird costumes and look longingly into
each other's eyes. This is much more of an artistic event than a sport. Why is this still in the Olympics?Continue reading The Olympics: Day 8
One of the athletes to watch tonight is not an American. It's
Croatian Alpine Skier Janica Kostelic, who won four gold medals in her sport in Salt Lake City. Her brother, Ivica, won
the silver medal in the slalom last night. Americans Julie Mancuso and Lindsey Kildow, who was injured during a training
run earlier this week, are also in medal contention.Continue reading The Olympics: Day 6
That's right, sports fans. We're
already on day five of the Olympics. Tonight on NBC, the men take to the ice. You've got to check out Russian skater Yevgeny Plushenko just for his inflated ego. With
his quadruple jump combinations, the guy comes in as a top contender for a gold medal. He is also the star of the Sex Bomb exhibition where he skates in a flesh-colored costume and dances to Tom
Jones. I kid you not.Continue reading The Olympics: Day 5
Some big names in competition today. On the slopes, Americans
Bode Miller and Daron Rahlves hope they can hold back Austrian hot
shot Alpine Skier Hermann Maier, who is on a
mission to win since he missed the Salt Lake City games due to a motorcycle accident. Seattle native Apolo Anton Ohno (and his soul patch) go for the
gold in the same race that caused controversy in SLC when he won after a South Korean speed skater was disqualified for
interfering with Ohno during the race. But, the real spectacle of the night will hopefully be top-rated, red-haired,
American snowboarder Shaun White, a.k.a. The
Flying Tomato, as he goes for the gold on the half-pipe.
