He was third with Canadian Jan Hudec after gold medal Kietil Jansrud of Norway and "dark horse" Andrew Weibrecht. also USA, silver. At 36 Miller is the oldest skier to gain an Olympic medal. Bravo Bode! Tullio ID: 1478532 ·

I see we lost to Canada (again). Although I don't really care about hockey, I found it interesting that every women's gold medal game except one has been between USA and Canada, since it was added to the Olympics in 1998.

It was Canada vs Sweden on CNBC HD, when it was on the score was 4-3, Canada, I think Canada won, as to that game being for the gold medal, that I don't know.

However, men's hockey in the Olympics was the same three countries for 6 Olympics after it started, women's hockey just got a fourth team in the medals (Switzerland) after only 4 or 5 Olympics. My first thought watching the Swiss women receive their bronze medals was "they all look like they are 14 or 15". This could be a team to watch in the future. And I agree with Celt Tooth. They have pro players in hockey now, but a lot of the refs are still amateurs. ID: 1479960 ·

Though after Sochi the NHL has said they will not commit to the Winter Olympics anymore cause it interrupts their season.

If I made ice like that I would fire myself from the ice making job.... ID: 1480343 ·
