thought the snowboarding cross was pretty awesome(a downhill race over jumps and cuvres) but this for me is definitely the highlight.
Shaun White's second gold medal in a row in the olympics halfpipe, where he brought out the legendary showpiece the 'tomahawk'


red bull built a halfpipe especially for shaun white,this video show hos they did it, using helicopters and explosions.

also thought this was funny, a ghanian skier who learned in milton keynes, dubbed the snow lepoard because of his costume. (cool running?)

More importantly tonite, a British lass in the Skeleton could end up getting a gold

Curling is easily the greatest Olypic event ever created.

The Olympics is coming to a climax now with the gold medal final in the mens ice hockey between Canada and USA, bearing in mind its canadas national sport and they are on home soil and USA already beat Canada 5-3 in the group stages this promises to be a cracking match, just started now.

Im not really a follower of ice hockey but that was some game, The yanks scoring a dramatic equalizer with just 24 seconds left, crazy.

Going into overtime now.

I like ice hockey, been to the Arena a few times to watch it, a fast-moving and very skilful game.

Tonight's final gave us a thrilling ending with the Yanks equalising in the final seconds of normal time and then Sidney Crosby firing home the golden goal in extra time. Great stuff.

3 names everyone will remember form this games:
Amy Williams - Britians only medal, golden run in the skeleton.
Shaun White - amzing run in the snowboard halfpipe, including his spectacular 'tomahawk' trick.
Sidney Crosby - Already Ice Hockey's most famous player, now sercures his place in Canadian folklore, with the winner in by far the most important medal for the Canadians
