    bull****. hitting a rock in downhill doesn't allow you to end the race, your ski would just break up and slow you down to 2, 3 seconds delay. in giant slalom, I would understand, but in downhill it's all crap by someone trying to justify himself for a poor performance
    I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

        It's not Bode himself that's using the rock as an excuse, is it? He sounded reasonable and sportsmanlike in the interview I saw...

        The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.

          It's other people. Bode said he did his best and came up short... oh well, give me more money Nike, thank you

            Yeah, but Lane Meier had more inspiration for victory:

                    • Yeah, the rock excuse just sounds lame. Though that was great in the downhill when everyone thought the Austrian won it and then the Frenchie shocks everyone!

                        The only time they are showing curling so that people who actually have a normal workweek can see it is during the weekends!! Bastards

                        edit: WAIT! CNBC is showing it during the next few evenings so I can catch a half hour or more! Sweet!

                        • amazing, watching a chinese couple skating and she tried a quadruple something or other and went BOOM smashing a knee into the ice. She got up and hobbled off and they came back to finish their performance. Thats what the Olympics are all about, triumph over adversity.

                          • sheesh, they still got the silver after that? I mean, it was really amazing to see her get up from that and resume the performance and finish, but c'mon. Anyway, China takes 2-4th and the Russkies won the gold.

                            Btw, the Russkies had to overcome a tragedy too. In a previous tournament the Russian woman suffered a severe concussion when her partner dropped her from 8-9 ft in the air and she landed on her head. OUCH! You could see he hasn't regained his confidence from that, he was really tentative holding her up with one hand.

                            • Well, they were loved by the judges beforehand so that only helped them by gutting it out. At least they didn't fall on a routine jump. In that case, they wouldn't have gotten it.

                                Me too. Those snowboarders look like "pipe half-full" types if you know what I mean.
