Winter Olympics - Quality isn't it?!

I'm loving Vancouver 2010!

The sports that go on are just amazing - moguls (flying down a slope going over bumps and then doing massive jumps), ski cross (four skiers zooming round a track - bit like the first lap of an F1 race, but with jumps), airels (what looks like gymnastics on skis), and then ski jumping which is surely the most graceful sport in the world.

Check these videos out:

USA goal - or is it - puck enters goal on 0.1/0.0 seconds...

Stunning skills from USA's ice hockey team. The commentators got pretty excited too!

I'm loving the action from Vancouver as well! I don't know why it is but as soon as the olympics are on I can't get enough of watching sport. Bring on 2012!!
Keep up the blogging Sam, it's good to see you are surviving the northern wilderness. Will you be visiting us soon down south? If you're coming very soon then bring a boat with you, it's very damp. : )
