[Frostmarrow]

I'm looking forward to meeting the Canadians again in the Olympic Finals! Actually, I'm stunned. The Canadian team is fantastic yet Sweden won a decisive victory.

That is surprising! Nevertheless, congrats to Sweden!

Not really that be a suprise, I think Sweden is favored to gold this year.
Sweden won the gold in 94, Canada was silver that year.
Sweden has done better then Canada in hockey like every modern Olympics.

Woohoo! Go Sweden! Congratulations from Denmark!

Wow!

That's pretty awesome! Isn't hockey a prestige sport during OS or something?

(I only enjoy curling, heh)

Yeah but a three goal margin means that Sweden is not just a victor, but decidedly a victor. That is a surprise, to me at least. I expected a closer game with a final score of 1-2 or 1-3 (maybe even an upset by one goal.

I wasn't surprised.

Curling? You're kidding me, Psionicist?

Well, since curling is about the only winter games' sport Denmark is participating in (besides women's eh "pukkelpist" - but our hockey team ALMOST qualified instead of France) so, there's been a lot of curling on the Danish channels. Apparently the women aren't doing too bad (they won silver in Nagano), but the men aren't playing up to their usual standard.

Curling is such a weird sport. But then isn't Bridge a demonstration sport for these games?

I LOVE watching curling! I enjoy it very much for being a sport. It was a shame USA beat us with 10-5!

To tell the truth, I only watch The Simpsons, Futurama, Jeopardy and curling on TV

Curling rocks! (whee! puns are fun!) Besides, we need to have as many winter sports as possible so that Canada can find some to excel at.
