Orchid, I caught parts of the luge events on TV. The speed and the position of the athletes on their way through the course was hair-raising. They also showed the spiked gloves which the athletes use to help propel themselves from the starting line.

I enjoyed a delayed telecast of the figure skating competition, which is my most favourite event. We're hours behind live coverage so I'm trying to catch up.

How very odd that the northeastern states in the US had a lot of snow and Vancouver did'nt get a fair share of that.
