commentators blowing smoke up MM Gagnon's ass all the way down the downhill, as she posts the 4th slowest time.

They kind of failed to mention the fact her win in super combined, the first race then was super G and not downhill. CBC mixing fantasy with facts again.

Julia Mancuso, the best skier HGH can buy

Roller derby on ice! J.R Celski damn lucky he wasn't dq'ed there. Funny how Americans never get punished for those things

Wow! Awesome race by Hamelin, and in his "weakest" event. He could be starting something special in Sochi

 

[Dacks]

Great race by Hamelin! I thought he was making a mistake holding the front spot throughout the race but obviously he knows what he's doing.

 

[BlueWolfZero]

Damn, nasty fall by Gagnon....hope she is ok

Men's moguls team looks on point after the first run. All four into the finals on a course supposedly that was built to sabotage us

That's funny, often times the Oilers are referred to as building something special.

I have very little confidence in Jacobs bringing home a gold medal in men's curling...He just gave up a steal of three to Switzerland (not even close on draw weight).

Yeah, I watched the first half of last night's game and he looked shaky... What's the format? Are there elimination games or just the round robin?

Round robin to start and then the best teams (not sure how many) move through to the medal round. Caught a break from Switzerland in that end to score 2 (now trailing 3-2).

Agosta gets Canada on the board against Finland (women's hockey).

Canada blanks Suomi 3-0 in women's hockey. Two games, 8 GF, 0 GA.

Love the CBC guys trying to make these names sound as French as possible. Who exactly is "Charl Hamlaa"?

Seems like the new tournament structure might be working so far.

Switzerland is obviously still over-matched in group A, but 5-0 (and really even 9-0) are a far cry from the types of scores we've seen in the US and Canada games in the past when they were playing for goal differential.

Four Canadian through in moguls again. Nice homer judging for the Russian in that round
