        A lot being made of the conditions in that area, and snowboarder Shaun White backed out because of that reason...one of the American figure skaters didn't do very well and when he was interviewed afterwards, the interviewer tried to goad him into blaming the conditions in Sochi for his poor performance...He wisely took the high road and steered clear of that...but you could see in his facial expressions and hesitations he wanted to 'go there'

                Can't wait to see The Opening Ceremonies! Saw a few previews. Looks like it's going to be very cool!

                  Am watching the opening ceremonies! Very Cool! The young flying girl's schoolmates should be very proud of her! She wants to come back as an athlete. I think she's doing a pretty good job of that right now! The 5th ring opening up didn't bother me...it made think that it was holding to it's flower form in honor of the flower of all 5 rings.

                    Why are some USA athletes not participating in this?

                      You're right that some aren't...but I want to correct myself regarding Shaun White...He only bowed out of one event...he's still going to compete in other events in Sochi (some of his teammates are upset with him, however - due to not giving other American competitors a chance at that spot)...Regarding your question, I'm guessing they were spooked away by threats of terrorism

                        Why don't you guys start a sochi political thread somewhere in an alternate universe??? Some of us don't like to be bored or bummed out with politics!

                              I loved the tall light horses moving through the air...and the ladies twirling in blue strings of light like jellyfishes...they reminded me of a poem I wrote while watching women olympic skaters once... Lonely Boys And Twirly Girls With magical love those lovely girls in colors twirl in colors twirl with graced and graceful symmetries they bring the watchers to their feet oh life complete oh life complete to have one of them share your seat oh lovely comely darling girl come skate around my empty world with people's hearts together hemmed we'll watch the woe of this world end and carry on the loving way with understanding now today oh future come oh future come bring us home and make us one fill my life my lonely fate with harmony and figure eights

                                  There are lots of 'real' worlds. The real world of international athletes gathering together to compete in peace with mutual respect is one of them. And, is what the olympics are all about. We get politics 24/7 on the news.

                                    And we get it at the olympics too. Sad but true. Why else was Obama on right at the beginning last night? But why argue over this? In one ear out the other...doesn't matter. I bet the US does well with the snowboarding events. Can't wait to see some.

                                      And, the same with Matt and Meredith! Started off with the athletes and olympics being discussed and then right into negative politics, as if the games are just a fantasy of a 'perfect' world! WHERE DO WE GET THESE DELUDED PEOPLE WHOSE PERCEPTIONS ONLY CONTRIBUTE TO THE PROBLEM? THEY ACT LIKE BAD NEWS IS THE ONLY NEWS ON EARTH!

                                            ^ There is so much going on...it's hard to catch all of it. That' great! I did catch one of the snowboarders yesterday with a shoulder cam taking video as he went down the course. That was really cool! I love the strength and grace they display!
