Apolo Anton OhYes!...Wait, it's Ohno, isn't it? Yeah, it's Ohno

If you're watching the Olympics we sincerely hope you're at least tuning in to the CBC and not NBC. We accidentally saw some of the men's halfpipe competition on the Costas chanel and it was, like, so rad. The camera angles were so funky fresh that it was impossible to get any sense of how a competitor was actually riding. Ok, most people don't know what a good ice dancing routine looks like either, but you don't film them with an under-ice cam do you? We're willing to bet more viewers are knowledgable about the finer points of snowboarding than they are about ice dancing. It's the Olympics, not a bunch of bras hitting a kicker in the back country and filming each other puking and bouncing off rocks. Please, NBC, leave the camera theatrics to the videos. Alternately, please do something, anything, to make ice dancing watchable. If you have to show entire routines via so-and-so's skate-cam, we're down.

Local hottie Apolo Ohno bombed out of the short-track speed skating 1500 after someone hip checked his face. It was obvious that all the other riders know that he hates contact and that a few touches would force a mistake. It worked and the final happened without him. NBC made a big deal about the fact that when the athletes were called to the line for the loser round Ohno was nowhere to be found. He ran out of the dressing room, jumped onto the ice hockey style, and had his ass kicked in that race as well.

The Seattle Times has the scoop on a bunch of other local types coming in 185th in the Giant Toboggan yesterday if you're looking for reporting on a loved one or something.
