Subject: RE: BS: Canadian Women Hockey, Gold Medal !!!!!
Well Guys, I ain't all choked up over it myself, but to an untrained eye, last night Sarah Hughes skated enthusiastically, very gracefully and athletically, and she didn't fuck up. The same can't be said for the others. Now however it is they figure it...and it's about screwier than hell...it looked to me like the right person got the right medal.
Let's talk Skeleton though......Time on the track...period. That's a sport. One of the best stories to come out of this Olympics is Jim Shea. Great attitude about his sport and the Olympic "Ideal" in general......Third generation Olympian, grandfather says oath for athletes 70 years before he gives the oath for athletes, Granddad wins gold medal, he wins gold medal, Granddad tragically killed a few weeks before the games, Dad was an Olympic competitor and on hand at the games, the two of them are part of the torch passing in the opening ceremonies....and on and on. Now can't you just see the "Wheaties" box........
