the two times I happened to put on mixed curling, the US team was competing. I am now all in for the OGM tournament. I almost even understand the scoring and strategies.

I hope Italy gets the Bronze. I really thought they had that match, it was a nail-biter.

Lots of spectacular falls in short track skating. LOL

American skier Sammi Smith also plays soccer so she has my uttermost respect!

Gold for Italy in the short track mixed relay! Canada second and Belgium third.

That was a fab race! I've been to a couple of short track worlds and the sport is a blast to watch live.

I love short track. It's so exciting. And fast.

Women’s Combined: Shiffrin makes it down the slalom hill but dreaded 4th place overall after Johnson went 1st again in the downhill portion. Congrats to Austria!

Heartbroken for Mikaela Shiffrin. I really hope this doesn't mentally impact her on her other races.

What is it with the US and team races?!

Good luck with that.

I was rooting for the Coreys, but Sweden was amazing. Well deserved mixed doubles curling gold!

I'm watching downhill skiing and seeing the competitors using tablets to study the course and weather conditions.
I'm imagining Albert Tomba saying "wtf, in my day we didn't use those things)

Cam Bolton who is the Australian snowboarder has fractured his neck in a training accident. Thankfully it was not more serious.
