Curling hasn't started yet?

It starts on Tuesday I believe. But I've decided it is too much trouble for me to go set up the DVR so I probably won't even be watching that.

But if I stumble across it anyway (best bet is next week when I'll be spending much time in hotel rooms) I'll be happy.

To harp on the topic of biathlon, how stupid is it to have an outdoor winter Olympic sport which is rendered competitively futile if it actually snows? Kind of like having a swimming event where getting wet is a huge competitive disadvantage.

Good to know figure skating scoring remains an exercise in the absurd.

Hey, curling is awesome

That POV camera they are using on the snowboard cross makes me dizzy. Too bad I already know who wins this since I started following Apolo Ohno and he got excited and tweeted the result earlier today.

Should we put results and discussion of results in spoiler tags? The coverage with all of the tape delays etc. is so confusing, I'm never sure what people in CA have seen.

I think spoilers for the day's discussion would be good since tape delays aren't more than a day. I wish they would have been a bit more clear what they are tape delaying.

Today on USA from 9am-3pm (Pacific) is hockey and curling. Hockey starts at noon Pacific. I'm guessing that's live.

Yeah, it's really frustrating. I was going to discuss the skating last night, but then found out that that was not on yet in CA. Would be nice if they had a bug on the screen that said Live when it actually is.

The pairs last night was good, but there weren't really any performances that I found myself going "wow." The two Chinese teams who got gold and silver were both impressive, but I just wasn't blown away. I've read some comments that perhaps the scoring changes have affected the way skaters approach their programs.

Snow cross is fun to watch.
