2006 Winter Olympics

<p>Luge, skeleton, and speed skating (both short and long)</p>

<p>Good choice in sports, kman...exact same favorites as me :)</p>

<p>Kwan</a> May Withdraw</p>

<p>"Physically, if I'm not able to skate, I would give my spot up," she said.</p>

<p>Hm. I wonder how likely that will happen.</p>

<p>Figure Skating all the way!!</p>

<p>I think she should withdraw. Realistically, the only reason she came back was for gold and right now if she can't land a triple, she can't be competitive for golkd (esp. since she already struggles with the new skating system). I'm rooting for Sasha Cohen and I hope Kimmie Meisner does well too.</p>

<p>i wished emily hughes could've been in it. i feel so bad 4 her, being replaced by michelle kwan. my town luvs emily hughes, which i could tell u y, but that would give away my privacy.</p>

<p>Sasha Cohen! Yay. =)</p>

<p>Pairs figure skating ... and skiing of all types! (did anyone notice how pretty all the female skiiers are? wow! :O)</p>

<p>Honestly, I don't understand why luge is in the Olympics. I mean, you just sit on a sled, steer, go really fast and hope you don't die. :P</p>

<p>so she did withdraw after all..</p>

<p>Yup! and because of the 2 + feet of snow, hughes can't get there today.... maybe she'll make it tomorrow</p>

<p>Gah, the only reason I was going to watch the Olympics was because of Kwan. But now that she's out, I don't really care about it anymore.</p>

<p>ok now im feeling bad 4 her....
its terrible how she was such a prodigy and a legend and never got the gold...while ppl like sarah hughes and tara lipinski will b like, practically 4gotten.</p>

<p>yeah i feel for michelle kwan too. everyone keeps saying "she won't win the gold medal this year; shes too old" but if she really keeps her head up and tries and does her best she has a fair chance at it.</p>

<p>Yeah, I feel bad for michelle kwan. She's won basically everything except for a gold at the olympics :(. Is she retiring after this (would 29 be too old for the next olympics?)?</p>

<p>I believe it has been said that this is her last chance, due to her age.</p>

<p>omg she withdrew. :(</p>

<p>Snowboarding!!!!</p>

Me and my dormmates thought it would have been cool if the ferrari had made the five rings with skid marks... but it t'was good.

</p>

<p>Me too!</p>

<p>The whole 80's music thing at the opening ceremony was... unique.</p>

<p>I personally was never a michelle fan but I am sad she was not able to compete. I think , had she been healthy, she could have one gold. But she hasn't been healthy for a while and think she made a good decision.</p>

<p>i love watching the luge and pairs figure skating. i'm going to miss seeing michelle kwan in the singles though!! :(</p>

<p>I wonder how well Bode Miller will do. It seems like he either does fantastic or crashes and burns...or doesn't finish at all.</p>
