My total as shown agrees with my own tally.
Thanks for filling in as scorekeeper.

I think that I have 259 points. It was a bit of a slow day for my team.

Monday night shows:

Meantime, thank you for doing this, McG.

Thanks for doing the stats, McG! My totals look correct.

It looks like Wheel has me covered with Belarus over Great Britain, thanks to Darya Domracheva's domination of the biathlon. Still hoping for Great Britain to win golds in both men's and women's curling and to find some other events where they can pick up some medals.

Well, I expertly hit "refresh" on an excel sheet a fellow expert wrote. I will take credit for the awesome copy and paste though...

Does anyone actually enjoy the sledding? Much too boring!

I don't mind it. I don't really get Hockey though. Team sports are always a bit beyond me.

I was so happy for Norway this morning when they got gold and silver in Large Hill Nordic Combined. They really needed that.

BTW, why no Nordic Combined for women athletes? Seems to me like there should be.

I like the competitive sports more than the judged sports. I like where each athlete races against a goal, whether that is against the clock, against another team or against themselves. I do not care much for ice dancing or that ilk.

It's positively tittilating in comparison to curling.

Urrgh, ice dancing. But I truly hate the summer 'sport', synchronized swimming.
Hate hate hate.

I have five days remaining between me and my dirt crown for last place! Can I hold onto my coveted spot? Only time will tell!

Allegations of collusion between Russian and American figure skating judges to divvy up the gold medals in team, pairs, and ice dance events:
