I enjoy all of those, so sounds good to me.

Congratulations Norway and Ole Einar Bjørndalen! The guy is 40 yet he still blows his competition out of the water. What a sportsman!
Oh and another thing. I envy the Norwegians of their commentators. Wow....just wow The sheer enthusiasm they show rivals the one you encounter in Mexican football. My parents have always watched winter sports on Norwegian tv channels because of this.

Haven't watched much yet, but I'll watch more eventually, I guess. I always start these big sporting events without much interest, but always end up being sucked in.
It's been a great Norwegian day, I read. Watching the highlighs of the day now. Taking my hat off for Ole Einar Bjørndalen. 40 years old! Impressive!
Sad about the Norwegian skiers Astrid Uhrenholdt Jacobsen's brother, who died yesterday. Glad Marit Bjørgen could win the gold for her and her family.

Yes, that's sad about Jacobsen's brother but... Those Norwegian ski runners on steroids... And Justyna Kowalczyk fell over...

Would like to enjoy Olympic Games in Sochi as a sport festival purely.
Aiko UEMURA (Moguls, Japan) could not get any medal as well (this was her fifth attendance at Olympic Games) ... but who cares, you're a fantastic athlete, a Japanese pride really.

^ Hey, Keishiro! Is Noriaki Kasai taking part in the olympics as well? Another dinosaur (together with Bjørndalen) - 42 y.o. if I remember correctly! Impressive!
