Russia is one of my favorite , its obvious that they will be competing for the  gold medal at least . I would put Finland on 2 nd place and Belarus on 3rd . Belarus is very strong and potential . So called "dark horse"  . You never know what to expect from them , despite recent loss to Sweden . Its because Belarus ruled by dictator like in Soviet Union times .  Lukashenko said " You have to get a medal  " .

I think its really awesome, since so many other American people have gotten themselves injured or just didn't do as well. People like Bode Miller and the speed skater Ohno. At least the US dominates in snowboarding!

Both are absolutely awesome!\n\nI've been snowboarding for twenty years but I love to ski every now and then (I get about 100 days a year on the mountain and I spend 10 or 12 on skis). \n\nOn hard snow, skis are much better than a snowboard. A snowboard isn't exactly bad on hard snow but I can rail my turns so much better on my skis than on my board when it's icy. \n\nIn powder there is no contest, snowboard all the way. Much more fluid and graceful and most skiers can't keep up with me if I really want to run in deep snow.\n\nAnd I have to say when it all comes down to it, if you are a speed freak then you need to ditch the snowboard because skis are much, much faster than boards. On my board I can hang with all my skier friends, especially in deep snow, but if they want to go it's all I can do to just keep up and I ride really, really fast.\n\nThe Olympics is definately not the venue for Snowboarding and it's a bad place to compare Skiing and Snowboarding. You should see how big the skiers go in the Halfpipe or how much faster they are on the Snowcross course. It's really amazing to watch.\n\nDon't get me wrong, snowboarding is in my blood and I'm a snowboarder till I die but skiing is pretty cool too.\n\nEDIT: In reply to Golfguy. Snowboarders can and do ride moguls, in fact I charge moguls hard and I love them. They are a bit more challenging on a board but still totally fun and doable.\n\nAs for snowboarders pushing off the powder and making it icy, that is just ridiculous. It's ignorant statements like that that have given snowboarders such a bad rap. I NEVER "push" off the powder. I carve the powder as well as the best skiers and better than most. Yes, occasionally you see idiots, in over their head, sliding sideways down the hill because they don't know what they are doing. It's just as likely to happen with a guy on skis as it is with a guy on a board. You need to try snowboarding and see what it's all about before making misinformed comments like that.

I'll probably not watch it at all.  Most of the coverage I'm just not interested in.  Skiing?  Nah.  Cross country?  Nah.  Now, the speed-skating is interesting and could hold my attention for a bit, but other than that... hockey would be the only one, as I like to watch hockey, but I'd probably end up doing other things.\n\nThat isn't to say that I wouldn't read about the Olympic coverage and root for Team USA!

I think that there will be a tight race between the USA,, Canada, Russia and probably Germany or something like that. However, my bets are on the USA, considering that we always have one of the largest amount of athletes participating in the Olympics than any other country.
