I never thought I'd say this about a figure skater, but that Russian dude Plushenko was pretty badass. He called out other skaters' masculinity for not attempting the quad and went ahead to win gold.

Ummmm no he didn't. Plushenko got silver. Lysacek took the gold.
USA! USA! USA!
BTW, do you realize this is the first time Plushenko has finished 2nd in the last 6 years, and only the third since Yagudin retired in 2002? Despite Lysacek being the reigning world champion (a competition Plushenko doesn't attend), this was a huge upset.
Wow, that Johnny Weir guy, can you say, "Flaaaaaaaammmmmmming!"
Shaun White is the shit.Shaun White was dominant. He's got a grip on that sport like Team USA and Canada do on women's hockey.

Curling is a surprisingly interesting sport.
That isn't sad. Quit complaining about everything.Dude wins a snowboarding gold, and he's "the shit".
Chick wins two skiing silvers, and all we care about is that she's a hottie.
Sad...

You're complaining again.I make one salient observation, and Ronan thinks I'm complaining about everything.

In Plushenko's mind (and website), he's the platinum medal winner
Evgeni Plushenko's long, delusional journey continues. Just days after the silver medalist for men's figure skating denied that Evan Lysacek is the true champion of men's figure skating, he has apparently awarded himself a platinum medal. From his official website:
It reads, "Silver of Salt Lake, Gold of Torino, Platinum of Vancouver." What's impressive here is that not only has Plushenko's website team fabricated an Olympic medal, it designed a platinum medal, too. Bravo. That's commitment to a delusion.
Previously, Plushenko ripped gold medalist Evan Lysacek for not attempting a quad jump, and even Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin weighed in on the controversy, saying Plushenko "performed the most accomplished program on the Vancouver ice." Lysacek responded to the criticism with class, but Plushenko clearly hasn't come to grips with the fact that the gold medal eluded him in Vancouver.

Coach sends Kramer on embarrassing wrong turn
RICHMOND, British Columbia – Sven Kramer peeled off his racing glasses and hurled them onto the infield, just as he had thrown away a Winter Olympic gold medal and nearly half a million dollars a couple of minutes earlier.
“What did you do?” he screamed in Dutch as he skated past coach Gerard Kemkers, who stood with his head in his hands, unable to comprehend the biggest moment of sporting stupidity that we will see at these Games.
Olympic history is littered with athletes who have blown a shot at glory through lack of preparation, failure to handle pressure, or plain bad luck. For Dutch speedskater Kramer, his chance to enter the history books crashed around his ears because of a split-second mental meltdown, the most basic of sporting errors.
“It sucks,” Kramer said. “I can’t believe it. I don’t usually want to blame anyone else, but this time I can’t do anything else.”
With eight laps to go in the men’s 10,000 meters, a lung-bursting 25-lap slog that is sometimes tedious but a feat of titanic endurance nonetheless, Kramer had his second gold of the Games all wrapped up. Cruising along the back straight, he had, at least in skating terms, time to stop for a cup of tea and a chat with coach Kemkers before clinching his spot atop the podium.
But then a single point of Kemkers’ finger and a cry of “inside lane” directed the skater to the inner course when he should have switched to the outer, providing one of the most surreal moments of the past nine days.
“It is the worst moment of my career,” said Kemkers, who was the United States’ speedskating coach and was based in Milwaukee from 1994 to 1998. “My world collapsed.”
Perhaps Kramer and Kempers can find solace by talking to Lindsey Jacobellis, the American snowboard-cross racer who flung away victory by showboating toward the end of her event four years ago.
Whereas Kramer should and to an extent still will go down as one of the stars of Vancouver, he has forever etched his name onto the list of greatest sporting screw-ups.
