I can still hear Jim McKay's voice in the background.
And right after the agony of defeat the Tom Wilson/Matt Cooke style headshot in field hockey.

I'd rather see speed skating as a solo timed event (whoever gets the best time wins). No drama. Or have individual lanes for each skater just like summer track events.

China appears to be stealing some pages from the Russian playbook.

Without a doubt, However!. there's no way to cheat to compete in women's ice hockey right? Looking for a great game ( as usual ) between the 2 powerhouses. Best Olympic event

Canadian Megan Oldham nailed all three jumps, but will finish fourth. No shame in that result.
