The highlight of the day: Austrian Men win Gold in team jump/large hill...lovely names those boys have Thomas Morgenstern (Morningstar ;-)-(missing from this pic),
Andreas Kofler,Wolfgang Loitzl and Gregor Schlierenzauer,who won 2 previous medals.
I am not going to grouse any further about the missing USA/Canada Hockey showing on NBC in favor of various delayed clips, etc. too many disgruntled viewers have filled the blogosphere and FB, Twitter and other 'social' websites with it.IMO, (pray do not slay me for that!) all these hockey teams are alike! Many on their individual nations' teams actually play in the NHL and - get paid handsomely for it! So now they pit their individual prowesses against each other,
ONLY to return to "their NHL team" after the Olympics are past.
The Olympics just pit the NHL giants temporarily against each other!
Of course, I, too, root for one team or the other depends which team is the foe !
Only to change allegiance once again should this team play against that team, however it falls out to be....that's Olympics! Confusing... but so much fun!
