I was unaware that there was cash prize money connected to Olympic medals.

Olympians get prize money now? I knew they were allowed to be "professionals" but I didn't know that the were given money for winning.
Ol Avey Bundridge(sp?) must be spinning in his grave.

When I read about this I thought, how neat if the athletes competed to help others, in other words, all proceeds from winning would go directly to helping others, like those in the Darfur region. I wonder if the Olympics would hold a different meaning for those competing as well as other countries.

The Flying Tomato guy (snowboarder) was a little choked up getting his gold medal too, when they began to play the Stars and Stripes.

You have that right. Have been following him for years. Everyone here in North Carolina is so very proud of him.

This guy is a class act! Absolutely. When kid's today are looking for role models, you can't do much better than Joey Cheek.
Screw China. We need to make our voices heard all the way from The White House to The Chinese Embassy.
Beneath all the paint and glitter, the Chicoms still cannot hide the true evil nature of their soulless regime.
