Olympics musings

There have been several funny moments in the last couple of days of interviews. First, the guy who won the men's snowcross, who is 33 years old, was aksed if he expected to compete in the next Olympics. He said yes, that's the plan. The interviewer asked, "Even at 37 years old?" and he replied, "Hey, it's winter." What a great attitude. Hey, it's winter. What else am I going to do?

Two things from Shaun White last night. He's smart and has a sharp wit on top of being a goofball. He knew he had won before he took his second run on the halfpipe, and he asked his coach what he should do. The coach said, "Anything you want," and White replied, "Should I just go right down the middle?" The coach stared at him for a moment and said, "No." Then later, as an NBC reporter was introducing her interview with him, he stood behind her, and jumped around and made faces and then as soon as she turned to him he got perfectly serious, though he shot a glance at the camera with a slight grin.
Here's a link- the interview is at around 6:05

Finally, Bob Costas interviewed Steven Colbert and you might as well just watch that. Make sure you watch all the way to the end.

And she's a great skier, but anyone else tired of hearing the name Lindsey Vonn yet, or even worse, Lindsey Vonn's shin? It's way more fun to say Lindsey Jacobellis.
