Maybe they would've if they didn't keep passing the joint back and forth during the race.

If you are referring to the (incomparable) speed skating events up untill now in Turin: yes. (Tosser, alays trying to pick a fight. Ban this man ).

Yep, Jennifer Heil started the games off nicely for Canada with a gold in the women's moguls.

How 'bout Canada's women's hockey team? 16-0 against Italy and 12-0 against Russia. I guess it really will be a two team tournament.

I gotta say, I quite enjoyed the opening ceremonies.

The Italians always do things like that right. I loved Pavoratti, and having Luca Badoer in the Ferrari doing victory donuts was tres cool!. As a side note, it's kinda cool that I've met two of the final torch bearers (Alberto Tomba and Stefania Belmondo).

Yep, good show. Silver was for Holland as well, 3 medals now. Team Holland has a simple order: to win 1 medal each day (on average).
