Olympics

So this morning will be the men's 10km sprint in the biathlon. There are 2 Americans taking part and this is a medal event. In the sprint the athletes start and do 3 laps around a 3.3 km track. They stop 2 times to shoot 5 metal targets, once standing and once prone. Standing the tracks are the size of grapefruits an prone they are the size of golfballs. Missing a target results in taking another lap around the track.

Also on 16 Feb the US men's curling team takes on Germany in the 1st session. The women's team takes on Japan.

For ice hockey the US women take on China today and the men take on Switzerland on the 16. Both of these are preliminary games.

Finally...I like the 2010 USA hockey jersey. I prefer the away one more (the blue one) Only problem is they seem to be sold out everywhere.
