winter olympics

moving away from gay topics for a post. ive been watching a lot of the winter olympics. ive talked many times about my love for sports, and the first blog i ever read was Mikey the hockey kids, im sure everyone knows his blog. well i watched my first every full game of ice hockey yesterday, canada V USA. i have to say i absolutely loved it!!. australia isnt known for its winter olympic exploits, given that we mostly a land of sun and surf, and we do not have many snowfields , this isnt a surprise. but weve won gold medals at each of the last few games and do have a few good athletes in them these days. Torah Bright is an aussie snowboarder who won gold the other day, in an event the americans have always dominated, pretty amazing effort. we should hopefully win another gold in the womans aeriels skiing on thursday, which is prolly the only winter sport aussies have dominated for the last 20 years, cause they used to get the ex-gymnasts as teenagers and retrain them as aeriel skiiers , an idea the rest of the world has now copied , so the chinese are now big threats. Unfortunately 37yo Jacqui Cooper, who has won something like 24 world cup events and 5 world championships, has a habit of choking at the olympics, shes never even won a medal, another girl Alisa camplin has won gold and bronze, but shes retired now. so hopefully Jacque comes good this time. theres also 2 other aussie girls in the final, and one of them is Lydia Lassila, the favorite. she crashed out at the last olympics and destroyed her knee, had to have it reconstructed. hopefully one of them wins. aussie aussie aussie oi oi oi
