Firstly, I would like to speak about yesterday's mixed doubles curling match between South Korea and USA. The match was absolutely fantastic, I enjoyed every minute of it. Jang Hye-ji and Lee Ki-jeong just played incredibly, while the Hamiltons made fools out of themselves on the ice. I know I'm supposed to be rooting for my flag <- but I was rooting for SK from the start.

LOL, Team USA has a 1:4 win/loss for mixed doubles curling and won't be heading to the semis. Sorry, Hamiltons, you have four years to get better. I'm watching the USA vs Norway and I'm excited.
After seeing these matches, I don't have high hopes for both the men's and women's teams (because the Hamiltons will plat in both of those), but we'll see.

Wow, I guess having the stress off their backs really helped team USA. Norway conceded to them, the score ending up 10-3.
Good job.
Good job.

Holy shit that was intense!
Congratulations, Red Gerard! The first US athlete to bring home a gold medal in snowboarding.
He really earned it, so many others messed up on the second jump.

Well, tomorrow, Sunday 25 February, marks the end of this year's Winter Olympics; here are my final impressions of this year's Games:
Lim Hyo-jun did an amazing job winning the host nation's first gold medal of the Games early on in the Men's 1500m short track competition. Probably the most exciting short track match these entire Games, in my opinion.
I was very saddened when the Women's South Korea curling team lost their gold medal match. Sweden played very well, congratulations!
Dahlmeier brought pride and joy to Germany as she won the Women's 7.5k Sprint Biathlon competition almost effortlessly.
Fourcade was excellent, as to be expected, in the Biathlon 15k Mass Start. He almost lost, though; he won by half a boot!
Diggins made the US proud when she pushed the final few meters at the Women's Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint.
The US Mixed Doubles curling team was not up to par, but Hamilton went on to win the gold medal for the US men's team.
Oh yeah, Lindsey Vonn and Mikaela Shiffrin did well too, but I didn't really follow alpine skiing too closely this year. Sorry!
