Crash Monday at the Olympics

A few of the crashes looked pretty impressive, but from what I've heard I don't think anyone has been seriously hurt... which amazes me really. Did anyone else catch the Canadian woman who wiped out in the luge? At that speed you'd think the athlete would be banged into lunchmeat, but apparently she's okay.

The female skier who was carried away is okay too I heard. I don't know if she'll ski in this competition again though. Haven't heard anything further about it.

I certainly don't hope for crashes, but damn.... so many of them today.

You can't get me to watch Football, Baseball, or Basketball, but I LOVE the olympics...

Believe it or not, I used to speed skate when I was a kid... It got to a point where we either had to move to Lake Placid or Wisconsin to be near an oval, as they were the only ones in the US at the time, but it wasn't practical for the family... If I had continued though, I would have gone with long track. Short track is too much like roller derby and has evolved into an extremely dangerous game. I had a bad crash once when going around someone to pass them. It might be fun to watch, but it ain't fun to experience crashing into the boards head first...
