His goal was 11th?

So with all the Olympic bloging that is going on I must ask if any one else caught the men's freestyle jumping last night (squeezed in between all those spandex pants and fluff skirts)? Did you see the Chinese man win gold?!? His coach had said going in to the competition that his hope was for 11th or 12th place. Is jumping that volatile? Or did the coach just not know the true potential of his athlete?

Han, too bad SI.com couldn't find a cooler pic...

On another note I am incredibly happy that the Italian won gold in the men's 1500 speedskating. Americans that feel the need to bicker and talk smack that much belong in the wwf not the Olympics.

Oh, and with all the talk of nice looking skaters, did anyone see the model/skater from Finland... i thought she was pretty cute...

it's about time my people got some gold medals in these winter olympics basically invented for the white man (europeans and their descendants).
