It did and many of us thought the woman was in bad shape. But she took a second, told her partner to help her up and finished the routine... to a standing ovation. The medicos found a deep bone bruise and she couldn't continue well enough in the next part of the skate comp. Very heroic performer.  |

| Joh, when they spoke of the "hurting" they were talking about the bobsled crashes....unless that's what you're talking about, and I'm just not aware that "skate" is part of the bobsled vocab. |

Eye, twould seem I missed that. A couple here and a couple there but they all fell hard and it hurt.
Nearly as Olympian, however is the exploit of an intrepid Russian comrade of yours, Elena, who toured Chernobyl on her motorcycle (among other things!!). It's one of the jems of the web: www.Angelfire.com/extreme4/kiddofspeed/ and look for the "Ghost town" link.  |

Ahhh, just hockey? Well I admit I liked the Oly Hockey more (was that a joke? ) because the refs knew when to stop a fight, as opposed to the pro games, which I don't enjoy much. (Promotes gratuitus violence in sport and with kids who idolize it.) If I want boxing I'll look for the ropes around the ring. |
