men's Moguls, our first medal of the 2006 Winter Olympics. Dale Begg-Smith, the favourite coming into the event after winning three of the last four World Cups, Dale qualified first for the final and continued that form into the decider, taking it out with a score of 26.77.
It's great that Dale is a Canadian and adopted Australia. Unbelievable that he was told by Canada and the US that he wasn't able to compete or be trained and keep his multi-million dollar company.
Curling! A sport!?!?! Where do I start?
Skeleton bores me to death so much so I want to lay on the snow and make a snow angel...
I'm addicted to Ice hockey!
How does an Aussie girl get wrapped up in Ice Hockey?
I was in Czech Republic this year when the Ice Hockey World Cup was on. I loved it! Besides the fact every thing on Czech TV is in Cesky of which I can not understand more than a couple dozen phrases, therefore watching sport I can be easily entertained and not require constant translations.... I was addicted. 
Czech Republic was playing so well - in fact they won the championship (No one here in OZ seemed to hear about it) Not only was the game thrilling I developed a crush on Jaromir Jagr!
He wears the number 68 in memory of the 1968 Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. The year my father escaped and came down under. My daddy also played Ice Hockey in his days, he was a goal keeper preparing to play in the Olympics for the former Czechoslovakia but he broke both thumbs and couldn't play... The love of the sport must be in my blood.
I'm so disappointed of the lack of coverage for Ice Hockey. Last night they showed 40 seconds of highlights, I got my crush satisfied immediately.
Figure Skating. I love it. Evgeni Plushenko from Russia his performance in the Men's Short program Figure Skating was unbelievable, the way he just glides over the ice... WOW!!!
The ice dancing was amazing last night, but so many of the competitors fell, the manner in which favouites for the event, the Italians behaved after the fall was deplorable. She just wouldn't look at her partner. I understand the disappointment, please a little sportsmanship!
The Americans below looked so fresh, they looked like they were having a ball out on the ice, I'm looking forward to the next figure skating qualifier (Where are the Aussie's?)

My favourite bits would have to be the Guy losing his skis in the Aerials and the girl in the snowboard race that could not resist ‘showing off’, when she had it in the bag, and falling just short of the line for Silver.
I’d rather watch the Hockey than Ice dancing but I do love the Swedish women’s Curling team they are VERY good ~wink~
