Am really looking forward to these- the time difference is minimal (right now its 8.30am in China), and these winter events are really interesting to a beach person like myself, whose only seen snow twice (and never skied).

I love the sliding sports, and biathlon. Hard to find video coverage of the latter, at least in the States.

I was a gun at biathlon (hehe) on Winter Games.

Nice pun, albeit unintentional (at least I think it was) by a commentator on Sunrise this morning.

Talking about a moguls skier, he said the skier had had a bumpy run in the lead-up to the Olympics.
