One thing you can count on at the Olympics is that your expectations are often turned upside down. If you missed the look on the Czech snowboarder's face when she won the Super-G skiing race, it was priceless. I didn't type that wrong. She's a world-champion snowboarder who also just happens to compete on the world-cup level in skiing, and she won the race against the top alpine specialists ... on borrowed skis. NBC was so sure all the medal contenders had come down the mountain that they had declared an Austrian the winner and cut away to figure skating.
I have to stop here and give a shout-out to the men's Norwegian curling team's pants, which have their own facebook page (I can't make this stuff up). I'm not sure how I missed them 4 years ago, but when I noticed what they were wearing on Friday and told my daughter to google it, we couldn't believe the variety of results. Apparently the team members each brought 12 different pairs with them (a different one for each potential match).
I'm looking forward to the final week of competition and seeing what will come next. Here's your own chance to visit South Korea:
