So if the USA has no one in, we have someone to cheer for. Does anyone else do this?

Yep! When the US is not playing, I cheer for Poland, Italy, Lithuania, Britain, Australia, and Denmark. There's a couple more I know I am forgetting.

Not me. No snow today -- just miserable rain.

Canada is my "backup America" during the Olympics; if there isn't a snowball's chance in hell that the U.S. will medal in an event I root for the Canadian team. I think many Americans do this, which is why there was a big stink over the SLC pairs competition. S&P were the "backup Americans."

You may want to check with the moderators first about starting another Olympic related thread...we just got our women's hockey thread closed and re-directed back to here. Just a heads up.

USA women's hockey team shut out the Swiss 6-0. I was amazed at the number of Americans in the stands.

I was desperately wishing that the crowd or the athletes would break into a rousing dance to go with YMCA!
