You're right, Torah's got a smile that could light up a room.

I watched only men's figure skating. I liked Daisuke Takahashi the most.
I'd build a road in gold just to have some dreaming

When the country you live in do well, no matter wich sport it is, you'll get addicted.

Like now. Sweden has made it to the final and semifinal in curling :lol:
Actually an interesting sport, when watching it during such a big competition like the Winter Olympics.

Indeed, go Lydia! So happy she won the medal after blowing her knee in Torino.

Go Canada in the hockey...the US wins everything.

Congratulations!!
Always nice to see Poland struggle and fight for a medal, since they usually doesnt get many.

I feel that Sweden could have done better, but no reason to complain since I'm not participating myself.

Belarus has a Gold Medal. Our Alexei Grishin is a champion in the Aerials. So beautiful and well-deserved.

Canada won 14 gold medals - the most ever by any country at a Winter Olympics. :o :D

All in all, this was a fantastic Olympics for Canada, and events like this really helped unite Canadians and got us showing our Canadian pride to the world. :D

<<<<< *did many fist pumps & cheers when Canada won the men's ice hockey :D *

Echo everyone else's sentiments, Canada were great hosts and it was a great Olympics. Michael Bublé is officially the sexiest Mountie I've ever seen. :wink: :lol: (Which isn't many, considering when I first and last went to Canada I didn't see any. :( )

And by the way, WOOHOO TEAM U.S.A.!! 37 Medals!! More than any country in the world! Yeah baby :D :D
