Just over and was tight until Sweden made one mistake in the 9th end, allowing Canada to earn a commanding lead.
You wouldn't have posted this if they lost. Curling *is* boring as hell.

Downhill BMX racing is a natural for the summer games. They can do it
at the ski venues. The same boys who are nuts on snow boards are nuts
on mountain bikes in the summer.


Yup, and why not freestyle motocross? Have you seen ads for "Nitro
Circus"? Do a google, Jessi went a couple weeks ago.

Now there's a great idea. Get smoke belching polluting, noisy kiddie bike racing into the Olympics.
What would be next... Nascar racing?
....and what do mean about giving us "another gimmie".
Not sure if you understand how the Olympics works but athletes have to beat the best the world has to offer in order to earn a gold medal.

Don, what is 'belching, polluting, noisy' about BMX racing?

Do you have any idea what you're talking about?

Quick...name all the motorized sports in the summer or winter Olympics.
Go ahead, list them.

Why would anyone want the racket, noise and smells of motorbike racing
at the Olympics? Blech.
