The Yahoo Olympics is a very nice way to catchup on the stories and results.
Julia Mancuso talks about her exuberance after winning the silver medal in the super combined.
Watching the Olympics on DVR helps. I prefer the coverage in other countries, EuroSport shows the entire competition and avoids the personal stories. My recommendation is to record the events and read up on them and watch the following day.
Update: Metal squabble highlights how everything is now personal for the athletes, what it means to them, their sacrifices. Maybe it is part of the trend to un-nationalize the games, but it sounds to me more like privileged people whining, as opposed to classy heroes. My guess is it has always been this way, but in the past people at least pretended to be humble. Better to watch and marvel at the performances and read and see less of the reactions and media spin after the event.
Maybe we need a little more wisdom these days. A public scolding of this me-ism trend may be needed.
