No more figure skating who cares!!
NO MORE CURLING!!! wHAT A BORE. aNYBODY OUT THERE UNDERSTAND IT. ANYBODY OUT THERE WHO CARES?
I love figure skating!
Curling is a great old Scottish sport. Not too difficult to figure out if you've ever played shuffleboard.
I love to watch figure skating, and I just learned the rules for curling - a great deal of skill is needed for both sports.

Good luck and all best wishes to Evan tonight!!
Does this guy have a real job or are we talking about a ski bum…lol? Seriously though, He currently does what no other PERSON in the world can do on a board. I guess that's why he won the GOLD!.... AGAIN! I never really understood much about this sport but I’ve tried snowboarding a bit and its seriously awesome, and seeing Shaun doing those crazy moves on the half tube, it’s hard not to be inspired …A few of the things I learned were here… http://ketiva.com/Sports/shaun_white.html
