Looking forward to them, as well as hoping the games go without any security issues.

I love the Olympics. I am really concerned for our people and all who will be there. I know this is harsh, but I would rather see us (USA) not go. That's not going to happen. All I can do is pray, hope and vibe. Of course, I will be watching and pulling for our USA!!

[CameronBornAndBred]

I'm also pulling once again for the Jamaican bobsled team, now that they have the cash to go.

[Lavabe]

I'm hoping that the Bo-Dyn Project bobsleds do wonders. I'm also hoping that Lolo wins a medal.

Hockey, bobsleds, and skis!!

My dirty little Olympic secret: I do love me some curling.

I watch it, too! Of course, I try to watch some of every sport during the Olympics. I used to play indoor soccer with someone that was as good (bad ?) about watching the Olympics as I was. We drove the team nuts talking about Georg Hackl (the flying sausage). Since he was medaled in 5 consecutive Olympics - we got to talk about him a lot.

I know exactly who you mean.

I'm sure you also discussed Eddie the Eagle...

Not as much - since he never medaled and he may have been before I joined that particular soccer team.

Okay, in terms of Olympic sport fashion, you got to love the artist's work on Katie Uhlaender's helmet for skeleton racing:

Paging CathyCA: Is Ralph Lauren designing Christmas sweaters or uniforms for the US Olympic team?

[IowaDevil]

The good news is we will likely win the Ugly Sweater Contest!

[lawgrad91]

But probably not the Ugly Outfit Contest. The Norwegian curling team has a corner on that market.

They'll look good for the opening ceremonies. After that, they'll look like ugly Christmas sweaters. I like them. They are sturdy and well-constructed, and with RL colors, which just happen to be red, white and blue. Ordinarily, you wouldn't find this type of sweater in a RL collection, but for the opening ceremonies, they'll be fine. Also, they are made in the USA.

[CathyCA]

I love the Germans' uniforms. Their design is brilliant!

Curling is freakin' awesome. I've played countless times (I really need to join a curling club) and watch it on TV all the time (it is on regularly here).

I need to update my Olympic wardrobe. I have one Olympuc sweatshirt. A CANADIAN Olympic sweatshirt that I picked up in Vancouver in 2010.

[CameronBornAndBred]

Hmmm...I wonder what kind of fish you could catch in Sochi if you were actually allowed to try...

Opening Ceremonies: SOLID opening (with a minor glitch)!! Good classical music. Awesome stage!

[Lavabe]

Nice... the athletes are literally coming out of their countries (there's a superimposed map of their countries aimed right at the entrance). But CATHY... check out the headwear of the women bearing the name of each country ... BIZARRO!!
