Well it appears to be halfway through the Olympic Games. I have a few things to say about it. First does anyone buy into the death of an
athlete at these Winter games like in the luge event due to error of the athlete himself than the course. People were stating facts that the track was to fast and stuff. Then when they made the changes to make the track safer,
if i am correct on this. That Luge Athletes stated that the track was to slow after the changes were made. I pretty much confused. Since who wonders what could have happened or not have happened at the Winter games if nothing was done at all if the incident leading to the luge athletes death never happened.
Also i see that at this point in the games the host country which is Canada, i think is last in the medal standings total that is. While the United States is on top with 20 or more medals and we are only halfway into
the games.
Next is the men skating event where a Russian and American that i wasn't to much aware of faced each other in the short and long program. In
the end the American skater came up on top. And the Russian skater came second. There was a bit of a controversy there also about this quad jump where you turn four times into the air from the ice. The Russian skater did the
quad while the USA skater just made sure he landed his jumps and skated gracefully to win the gold. Does this mean the quad jump doesn't garantee a win or loss? There is much more, such as Shawn White for snowboarding winning gold, Lindsey Von winning gold in ski events. Now Apollo Ono trying to win a record of seven medals or something close to it in these games.
