And the men’s downhill got delayed by weather, which seems to happen a lot, but still sucks.

After spending all day hyping it, Mikaela Shiffrin goes down a few seconds into her first giant slalom run, so NBC switches to ice dancing. Yawn.

Gotta admit, the Russian 15 year old figure skater is pretty good. Girl was nailing quads!

If all goes as expected they’ll meet again in the gold medal game.

US-Canada women for the hockey gold tonight. Live on NBC, 11:10pm ET (free plug)

With the US and Canadian men both knocked out of the tournament today, this is the battle for North American hockey supremacy. Canada women look unstoppable, but..... that's why we play.

The torch is out and the Olympics are over.

If you watch any shows on NBC they will now be safely returned to you, unharmed.
