Oops! I forget to mention it. :blush:

Italy

Yea, I knew it was Italy. I just wanted to see if anyone else knew! :wave:

Too bad the U.S. couldn't have tied Germany on the medal count! Oh well, the U.S. still did way better than anyone thought they would.

I have to admit I will miss the Olympics a little too. I got much more into them than I usually do, especially considering they were the winter games. I usually prefer summer. However, I will be glad to be seeing some of my fav TV shows back now.

It's TORINO, guys.

The russian athlete was actually taking a drug given to people
with chronic kidney failure to help prevent anemia. Personally,
I think it is unfair that the olypmic commitee did not care that
he had a medical problem and was taking medication for it.

If that is true, I say that is DAMN unfair! I mean 16 medals, but still... if he's got a medical problem!!!!!!

Yea, It is Torino, cause thats how they spelled it in the closing ceremonies, but I have a friend from Italy, and that's how she pronounces it. So I guess it can be pronounced either way.
