See, but that's just it. One shouldn't be allowed to enjoy the competitive benefits of being a stupidly wealthy megalomaniac loaner AND be likable. I mean, that's just not fair!

Stupid NBC preempted hockey for curling. And they keep channel hopping the games. So not only is TeamUSA hockey regulated to non-NBC channels they can't even give us the courtesy of staying on one channel.

I think they broadcast the medal ceremonies on their own broadcast (and probably on a different channel).

I'm with you on loving the Olympics. I'm not watching everything, but that's ok.

Wow. I wonder if curling teams are allowed to change the throwing order, or if they're required to keep watching Shuster blow it over and over.

Is the rock dead if it hits the sides? I'm wondering why they don't bank them. That must be it. Also saw a player kick a stone aside after it had been bumped out of the house into the side wall. So I guess you can't bounce them off the wall and back into the house or they wouldn't let that happen, right?

Correct.

Something beautiful about Evan Lysacek... can't put my finger on whether it's the way he moves, or if it's just his figure that's beautiful. Maybe the combo.

Johnny Weir got hosed.

He wouldn't have won, but still. His scores were terrible. His routine was fantastic.
