Most Lugers are having trouble on these tracks. Quite a few flew off or hit a pole during practice.

I just want to say this about Canada. We are one of the most welcoming and nicest nation . I am proud to be Canadian, just as I am to be Bangladeshi.

When the Georgian team came in, that was a touching moment. They all took their hats off, and they got a standing ovation. Must be tough for them to be there, hours after there friend died.

Just watched the luging practise recorded earlier...makes one wonder should this be taken off given two deaths came from exact same sport. One of the most dangerous sport ever.

I don't think they could have picked a better person to light the outer torch. Wayne Gretzky is the father of hockey, that's what he is.

I'll go as far as saying that the gold medal in hockey is all that matters. A silver medal in hockey and nothing else will matter.

I"m so excited for curling. Watching men brushing the ice with a broom in front of an oversized hockey puck is one of the greatest thing I have seen.

Are you really?!
I love to play curling. When I was in Winnipeg, I used to play every week. Playing curling is a great fun. It looks very easy to play but not.

Obayed bhai is in Vancouver. I'm hoping some of our members have been able to make it there. Please share your experiences, photos, videos, or anything else you have for the Vancouver Winter Olympics 2010.

The Whistler one is the fasted one in the world. Nodar was at 144 KM when he hit the poll.
May Allah rest his soul in peace.

Russia is too strong in Hockey.
Watched part of the openning ceremony. Very very high tech.
My best part was the whales and Salmon show. Amazing.

Russians have great firepower. Not sure about their defense though.
Canada is the strongest team in every position. Its on paper though. We shall see.
Swedes are very strong as well.

The opening ceremony was spell bound.
I was glued to the tv screen.
Go Canaucks Go.
Now I will be much happier with more gold and silvers, specially with a 'pedani' to the fatso Yankees in Ice Hockey.

Luge is so dangerous. When I first heard tthe news, I thought he was just injured, wont be dead. But its a really sad news. And georgia only had 9 athletes, and now they have 8
The minute of silence was touching. Hopefully some luger will dedicate their gold to him
And Curling is awesome
And hockey = sure gold for Canada, otherwise there will be some assassinations
