This is the thread to talk about all things Winter Olympics: Athletes, your favorite sport, anything, as long it is revolves around the current Winter Olympic Games.
Personally, my favorite is Figure Skating, overall. I'm most looking to the men's competition, as Evgeni Plushenko is one of my all-time favorite skaters, and he's undoubtedly going to win as long as there are no huge mistakes.

I like figure skating too, my personal favorite being Michelle Kwan. Unfortunately, she's out with an injured groin, so I'm rooting for Sarah Cohen. You go girl!

In the women's, I'm not so sure, but I'm pretty sure Irina Slutskya is going to win it. She's definetely the best in that competition.

I was sad that Michelle Kwan had to go out, too. Well, at least she won't strain herself too much this way. Besides, she's in pain, hardly able to practice, and I think she'd be lucky to scrape a bronze in this state.

Sorry to hear that you're not feeling well, Flame. Feel better soon! Get lots of rest and drink lots of fluids!
It's official, Yvgeny Plushenko won Men's Figure Skating with a whoping 27 point leader over the 2nd place. They say that it's looking like a Russian sweep in Figure Skating, as Russian's are favored to win Women's and Dance. No country has ever swept the medals in an event like that...

Anyway, I would like to say congrats to Shizuka Arakawa, Japan's First Olympic Champion, and only medal for Japan of the 2006 Winter Olympics. Congrats!
