Here's two cool pics of the snowboarding competition and the gold medal winner, Shaun White of the US!
Plus he has a nickname that's sounds cool in both english and italian: "The Flying Tomato" or "Il Pomodoro Volante" mostly because of his red hair.

I see Great Brtain is on the medals table too
The Dutch are always good as speedskating, specially the men.
But when the Olympic year is there, there are aways the Americans:
So far they won:
500 m
1,000 m
5,000 m
Two more distances to go:
1,500 m and 10,000 m
So two more chances on medals (by the men)
Shani Davis, who won today the 1,000 m:
He was the favorite to win |

It is fun watching as it is broadcasted in the evening here
Today no medals for the Netherlands as there is no speedskating
Th English did get their medal at ..Women's Skeleton.
They used to have good figure skaters/dancers
What kind of skiing so you like to watch most ?
I think you ski yourself too, snowboarding too ?
