So amongst many news apps I have on my phone I have news.com and my question is why are after two days are they on the Olympics Negative Train?

This designated Olympics skating channel is awesome.

I'm too scared of busting my ankles to get into tricks myself, but geez it makes for good TV.

Bloke at work asked me the other day if I was watching any of the Olympics, or any good at any events ... I told him that I had once come first in a threesome :-D

Canada set the tone and the refs allowed it. It was a more physical game than would usually be allowed but that’s what you get under FIBA rules with refs from all over the world.

Furthermore, from the Aussie coach post game:

What was more brutal was our offense. Can we get some ball movement and some cutting action.
Every time we did that we scored. So frustrating, too much dribbling.
