I understand why they are doing such a big presentation by the Native American's because it is a big part of every culture in North America...but I'm getting sick of watching them dance around and look ridiculous.

Yes that's true, I think that they are just trying to take pressure off of her so even if she does fail than "she was injured"

i'm always stoked when the person carrying the flag is labeled as 'freestyle skiing'

no matter the flag

and when they said she wasn't here because of bruised shins i laughed

and i might be wrong but so far italy's in the lead with 109 athletes...
