They want Habs fans to have someone to cheer for during both games.

Do you coach long or short track ?
- BashCH

Short.

And I don't really coach, I'm the president* of the club and I "coach" the really young kids (ages 5 to 8 approximately)


* president = full time volunteer

Evgeni Plushenko, not gay at all.
-Putin

- _nay_

On aurait pu voir Essuie-Tout Jeune

And I can understand people who don't as well.


Maybe it's because I'm now involved in amateur sports that I see it differently.

I think it's simply a difference of culture.

I have plenty of friends who don't give a poop about that.


They also don't give a (frank) about the Olympics...

It seems more common in Québec. But again I don't have a poll or actual facts to support my hypothesis.

To me, the winter games have become more of a glorified x-games.....plus hockey.

It seems more common because we are bombarded with the local media.

Pretty sure (or I hope) that The Vancouver papers talk about the BC athletes as well.

There are "sports" in both Olympics that shouldn't be there. I agree on the X-games aspect. Same thing in Summer too, with events like BMX biking and Dressage (look it up, I mean WTF? Horse dancing is a "sport"?).

Yeah, lots of "judged" sports like slopestyle, halfpipe, acrobatic ski etc...







Not a fan of judged sports, btw. Precisely because of the judged part.
Tremendous athletes, no doubt. But the rules aren't clear, at least, not for me.

BOUME!

I don't know, but for what it's worth, the local media here doesn't focus on the Ontario athletes, they give broad coverage to all the athletes.

ya here too. Also saw a very good bio piece on NBC on some of the canadian atheletes

In the comments:
So..."suffered two broken legs after he was hit by a sled..." One would have thought that he suffered the broken legs WHEN hit. Not after.
:lol: sounds like Howard...except this guy's actually funny...
