Do they let you take a picture with it or touch it?
Seems odd to me that the Stanley Cup would be at an Olympic event. I guess another thing to go see amongst all the glitter and glamour.

all three Canadians through to the quarter finals in edit: not snowboarding, ski cross
Davey Barr just went through to the semis.
Shitty thing is the other two are in the same heat. Only top two go on, so unless it's a 1-2 finish one will be out.

DelBosco, a Canadian makes it through to the semis. Other Canadian took third and is out. So, two Canadians still in it.
I'm putting this up for those who are too busy kissing (jizzing on) the Stanley Cup to look at the scoreboards. LOL

Davey Barr is out....... he was the underdog, so getting this far was good for him.

Del Bosco makes it through. He fucked up early in the race, but made a comeback. He's into the finals.
Finals = Gold, silver, bronze, and one no show.
It's good odds.
Story of this guy: Skiing for US. Gets booted off team for Vansterdamning (pot and alcohol abuse). Sister sends him to detox to get his shit together. He now skiis for Canada (because we love pot smokers, lol).

HOLY FUCK!!!!!!!
Del Bosco was in third place, but fell for no apparent reason and lost.
Tragic..............
Would have finished off his story on a high note if he had placed.
Ranked number 2 in the world, but couldn't do it here. That's why the Olympics are what they are, I guess.

I think we need better psychologists........ a lot of athletes are choking. So much pressure on these guys. They need to hold it together. They have what it takes. The skills and abilities are there. Oh well.

it looks like Bosco tried to get on the inside because he wanted better than a Bronze, i salute him for trying but it was too risky on his part

You guys do have to realized that most of our athletes fund themselves compared to other nations (which are mostly funded by governments and sponsors). I'm pretty happy if they get top 5.

i'd say thats more than a large majority of nations have combined
passed years thats been an excuse but the majority of top tier athletes we have this games have been funded well

$100 millions have been spent, so let's just hope for the best performance out of those canadians even though they may not win medals.

Canada has put more into athlete development for these games than any other country short of China actually farming athletes.
that being said, alot of our just outside the medals athletes are pretty young. i think 2014 will be a good Olympics

Problem is, the political powers in this country consistently operate in the we-want-results-now-or-it's-a-loss realm - they throw a bunch of money at something, and if it doesn't pay out instantly, figured it's a bad idea and shut it down (well, not always... if only that thinking had been applied to the long-gun registry).
Some athletes have to work for a decade before they manage to medal, so let's just hope whoever is charge of the program realizes that and keeps the money coming.
