Let's see what happens...

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!!

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

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?

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

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.

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.

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!

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!!
