With only the snowboard slalom events still to be completed, you have to admit that if it's riding on a snowboard the chances are that it's an American.\n\nThe USA won both halfpipe events (and also took the silver medal as well) and would have also had a clean sweep in the new snowboard cross event if the women's leader in the final hadn't attempted a trick over the last ramp and crashed. Still generally speaking it's been the US's Olympics on snowboards.\n\nMedal Table (Snowboarding)\nUnited States: 3 golds, 3 silvers, 0 bronze\nSwitzerland: 1 gold\nSlovakia: 1 silver\nFinland: 1 bronze\nFrance: 1 bronze\nNorway: 1 bronze\nCanada: 1 bronze

absolutely right!\n\ntill now...NO SURPRISES AT ALL...which to be honest...i think it's better :)!\n\nmost coaches are more cautious than ever...and they tend to secure the game...and i don't blame them...many big teams are still living the shocking nightmares of their eliminations in the past tournaments...Italy, Portugal, England, Argentina and Netherlands!\n\nbut i believe the BEST IS YET TO COME...i mean come on...those teams are playing for the WORLD CUP...not just for an honoring participation in WORLD CUP if you know what i mean...big guys are running towards the gold amigo...and to get the GOLD...you need patience, mentality, tactics, plans, good players and A BIT OF LUCK...!\n\ni love the GOALS so far!\n\ni think the refs are performing an OK job till now!

Olympic long jump skier Eddie "the Eagle" he inspired a nation to watch a sport in the Winter in a country with no snow...those Jamaican bobsledders were awesome too!!!

They have a team of about 40.  Some of the sports include snowboarding, skating and skiing.

I can't say that there was one moment in the whole Winter Games that I liked the most. Watching athletes' reactions as soon as they learn they've won the gold is pretty exciting. Especially seeing Shizuka Arakawa win Japan's first medal. Even Lindsey Kildow's crash inspired something. Just watching the Olympics is my favorite part.

I think the winter olympics were pretty good, not the best I've seen, but still very interesting seeing new countries winning medals. What I was a little disappointed about was the performance of Bode Miller. He was portrayed to be very good by the media, but then screwed up in most of his events.

12 mins by Byron Moreno, he of Italy v Korea 2002 fame. He was officiating a game where the home team was losing 1-2 at the end of normal time. He let the game go on without indicating how much time he was adding. \nThe hosts eventually took a 3-2 lead after about 12 mins of injury, whereupon, Mr Moreno deemed it fit, to call a halt to proceedings.\n\nHe susbsequently retired after that game, at the ripe old age of 32!

Their were a couple who thought the World Cup was their  own personal stage.  Unfortunately that happens in all sports.  However for the most part the officiating was pretty good.  Remember, that's a difficult job.  The entire world is watching and everyone is speaking different languages.

If I were a Dutch medic, I'd be checking all the Dutch players for inner ear problems. They were just falling down for no apparent reason! But both sides were "at it". Everyone seems to be blaming the referee for the fiasco, but I would defy anyone to referee a match like that. I think one of the English commentators had the right of it when he opined that if the match went to extra time, there wouldn't be any players left by the end. The dirtiest, filthiest, most unsporting disgrace of a match ever played. Thoroughly entertaining! I want a rematch.

That's not the sort of information that is usually available at a snap. The only thing I can suggest is that you contact people living in past Winter Olympic host cities who were aged between 5 and 13 when the Games where hosted there and ask what influence it had on them.

I love snowboarding, but I disagree with you on this. \nSnowboarding has only been in the winter olympics since 98!
