USA Hoping They Have The Stones To Turn Things Around [Winter Olympics Live Thread]

3-1 Czechs, Jagr to Plekanec.

Hour break from Olympics - new Psych episode.

...and then he crawls into the fireplace.  

"What, is NBC all of a sudden honest about everything now? I KNOW you faked Lindsey Vonn's injury for a better story, I know it!"

I can see why Becky loves Stephen Colbert so much.

"Yea, some of my family weren't able to make it Torino, and everyone is here - even my dog, Rambo, hi!" *waves to camera*

Why anyone should love Shaun White.

 i gotta wait 2 more hours to see the shaun white show i guess. cant wait!

Wow, bronze medalist in downhill is a 2nd generation Olympic medalist, cool!

I thought there was no way he could land that final trick, he had no speed - somehow that sh*t was landed though, crazy.

Good day for U.S.

He landed the big trick and his score went up on run #2, this man is unbelievable.

That's it, he doesn't even have to do his second run.  Just go down and show off, Shaun.

They're all trying to outdo White and they keep falling down...moral of the story, Shaun White owns you.

Right, the whole run wasn't conservative with the two double-corks, but the rest of the tricks, he's been bigger/better with them.

To be fair i think he was only conservative on his last trick.

Conservative and his score is still 4 points higher than everyone else, that's insane.

Great part about that, that was White being conservative..

Being they just take the best run out of two, it doesn't matter what Shaun does in his second run - unless of course someone tops him.

Shaun White just blew everyone out of the water on his first run.  Unless he falls doing a trick on his second run, it's a race for the silver.

Wow Shaun White Freakin wow!

Nice runs by Shani and Chad Hedrick. USA! USA!

Davis with the Gold. Nice run.

 goalie got booty bumped but i guess thats legal

 Sweden's Mattias Ohlund scores on PP 1-0

 seriously. last nights coverage was near unwatchable. more talk, "stories" and commercials than actual event. at least there is hockey on CNBC right now. both teams look sharp

Finally, some live speedskating...

*NBC shows one pair, then a commercial*

*Bleep* you, NBC.

Fail

I don't believe it. As much as I love watching this sport, it's getting sickening to watch the US.

 he missed again.... wow

Shuster threw that rock perfectly (I have to admit that, even though he is a huge Brett Favre fan) it was his sweepers who didn't get the rock where it shoulda been, not John.
But yes, this is unfortunately going to be  a test for them, keep cool and calm and just play the game.

For as great as they played to get their 6 points, the way they played their first two matches, I don't see them getting any easy point even with the hammer here.

WOW sweeping error for the US and off to an extra end
US keeps the Hammer though, get's last rock

 oh boy.... i watched them lose to norway this morning, and it was heartbreaking

Schuster, again..

 oh no, he didnt put enough on it i think!

From down 0-4 after two ends, to come back like this is extraordinary. Almost guaranteeing a win or at least an extra end being up 6-4 in the 9th right now.

Yo

From down 4-0 to tied 4-4 going to the 7th end. Great comeback here for the US men.

She had a nasty crash going wide on a turn and that area didn't have a gate or anything - so she flew into a ditch, hitting a tree and hurting her back. It was a pretty nasty crash, one I'm sure you'll find online somewhere.

 Both teams didn't take advantage of mistakes by their opponents.

I got home from work just in time for the end of the cross country. What was up with that Slovenian woman who went to the hospital earlier in the day, but still came back to win bronze?

Yea, Schuster is having one of those terrible meltdowns that isn't going to get much coverage because "it's curling", but it really is awful for him.

The men are curling terribly. This is no good at all.

Not a good start at all for the US team here against the Swiss - have the benefit of the hammer in the 2nd end, and still drops a point. 3-0 Swiss.

Great finish to the mens X country - now time for the men's curling and a hopeful US win.

YAAAAAAAH!!!! USA! USA! USA!

GOLD!

Just saw the wipeout by the #1 skier before qualifications, yikes.

Vonn is first, and Julia Mancuso is second.  Canadian threat Emily Brydon didn't have a good run and is back around 11th. (sorry, have to mention my Canadians too   Go Canada!!)

Anything on Lindsey Vonn yet? How is she doing?

Canada has to make one shot  - a take out to win, 7-6...

And Cheryl Barnard DOES it, of course

And there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with your mom's age

Canada as well, in the 8th, with Japan lying 3

But Cheryl Barnard gets the draw for 1 single point  tied game

She's gorgeous. Also, she's my mom's age. Eh... whatever.

US unable to steal again in the 8th, Germany takes two points and a 6-3 lead.

wow, I still refuse to tune into anything but Hockey...Men's Hockey

Canada as well, in the 8th, with Japan lying 3

But Cheryl Barnard gets the draw for 1 single point  tied game

Saw Barnard's point, very nice.

Canada as well, in the 8th, with Japan lying 3

But Cheryl Barnard gets the draw for 1 single point  tied game

US got away with it, stealing one in the 7th, trying to do the same thing here in the 8th and tie it up.

Canada as well, in the 8th, with Japan lying 3

But Cheryl Barnard gets the draw for 1 single point  tied game

US in some trouble in the 7th end, and down 4-2.

Canada did capitalize, but with the Hammer in the 6th, Japan has retaken the lead 5-4

I've sent you a private message to explain this, rather than posting in a Live Thread

I can't add a photo.  I do not have one. And I do not know how to put it in the computer.     ee

I don't understand all of the art of curling but it is interesting.  The USA could have done a lot better than they did.  I don't have a lot of time to watch right now as I'm in college online.  Ireally enjoy someone keeping up for me.  ee

The Canadian women's team is playing the Japanese team, and was losing 3-2, but the Japanese team just made an error on a peel and sent the rock right thru the rings - Canada just needs to capitalize on the opportunity.

Oh, and before I forget.....GO CANADA!!!!

I just saw the last throw in the mens curling match from last night, heartbreaking to say the least.
