In Ice skating- Adelina Sotnikova won Gold and she was best!!!!! She was amazing but there is alot of complaining about the scoring from some of the other performers.

Spoiler alert (Kind Of) US takes gold; great performance by an 18 year old.

The Medals race is very close. The Dutch has 19 medals in speedskating and 22 overall. Norway has the most Gold Medals. The US and Russia tied for most overall. I watched Russia lose to Finland in Hockey. I remembered reading somewhere where Russia's idea of a successful Olympics was winning Gold in Men's Hockey. They better change their mission statement. It's the gold's that count. Britain have a chance of winning gold in the women's curling.Personally I don't care two hoots but each to their own. Sooner watch a good footie (Soccer) match any day, or rugby, or cricket or golf even darts!!Now there's a sport!! The world cup is coming! Rather watch the Cup. Who do you think takes it. Brazil on home soil is going to be tough to beat but not impossible. this is for the olympics, thank you
