Ski jumping rocked by ‘penis-gate’ claims athletes manipulated genitals for aerodynamic edge
The alleged trick involves artificially enlarging the genital area before official measurements by using substances such as hyaluronic acid.

I went to curling at the Torino Olympics and it was crazy. Everybody hammered in the stands! The guys throwing the rock were treated like superstars. It was a blast.
Curling is one of the few sports that people really get into this time of year. A lot of curling clubs have popped up here in the states in the recent years.

First postponement of the women's hockey tournament:
Finland has more than a dozen players currently in quarantine due to a norovirus outbreak going through the team and only had 10 players able to participate in the pregame skate.

I’d take time off work and stay home and watch curling! If it was on every weekend I probably wouldn’t care. But once every four years, I can’t stop watching it for reasons beyond comprehension!

NBC to air the opening ceremony live today at 1:00 PM CT with the re-air at 7:00 PM.
I enjoyed the opening ceremony.
My favorite part was having a Parade of Nations done at all of the cities in northern Italy that are hosting different parts of these Olympics. The venues are spread out far enough that it makes sense to do it the way they did.

Something to remember with the women's hockey tournament is that everyone in the U.S.'s group automatically qualify for the quarterfinals. Those 5 plus the top 3 from Group B go through.

Olympics yet again!
My first on tv was 1960 Rome. Guy named Cassius Clay, among others. So much fun over the years. Always look forward to the games. I prefer Olympics to elections every four years.
And I always remember a funny quote of Chicago Tribune great sportswriter Bob Verdi about U.S. performance in the winter games way back:
"First in war, first in peace and 33rd in the luge."
Some things never change, but we're getting better in the luge.
Wish I had my good old trusty Flexible Flyer for one more run.

For those of you with Peacock, they have brought back Gold Zone. Think of it as the Redzone channel but with Olympics sports.
And yes, Scott Hanson is part of the coverage.

Canada wants to know how that is their problem. Play or forfeit eh?
Well since it was early enough in the tournament, they do have a day built in where they can make it up. That being said, both teams could potentially have to play in the quarterfinals the next day.
