Could not agree more.... When my hometown hosted the Olympics 8 years ago, I could not have cared less about the Winter Games.... Now I look forward to them....

The game that surprised me the most.... Curling.... Amazing how fun it was(is) to get the guys together, drink some frosties and watch people slide a stone down the ice....

In the end, if you gave me tickets(that I could not sell) to Ice Skating & Curling and they were at the same time.....you can be assured that I'd be giving away the skating and going to watch curling.

I'd disagree too. They both skied amazingly well, Kearney just skiied that little bit better. The difference being basically the landing of Heil's second air. Disappointing that she didn't defend her gold from Torino but it's not like she choked or was robbed by the judges..... just beaten cleanly be a competitor who was better on that day.

No way, Kearney had perfect form, flawless jumps including a MONSTER heli AND the fastest run of the evening.

There's times where I just watch in awe of a competitor and that was her last night. Had nothing to do with nationality or anything. It was fun to watch her compete. She was good.

Also watched in awe as the Koreans took eachother out on short track.

If you don't already have your tickets I'd say good luck unless you're willing to pay EXORBINANT prices on Craigslist, etc. I had a couple friends score Class C tickets (ie. nose bleed) to the men's gold medal game that recently sold them for $2200 each, they paid $320 for them initially.

I live and work within a 10 blocks radius from the curling venue Thankfully it doesn't appear to have had any affect on my daily commute or life other than all the military and police choppers buzzing around over my house.

Personally I'm looking forward to the Games and all the parties and cultural stuff associated with it. My wife and I went to Holland Pavilion (aka Heinkein House) last night and had a great time. We didn't bother trying to get tickets for the Olympics themselves, our plan was always to get tickets to some of the Paralympic events since we both find people with disabilities who are able to compete at that level far more impressive.
