I'm really looking forward to watching Shawn White this evening.  Given his recent history with injuries and everything, I think this is the first time in at least 8 years that there's any doubt he'll take the gold.  There was talk about him debuting a new trick tonight for the first time in competition.  The same trick that hospitalized him 2 years ago.

Can't wait, favorite event in the olympics.

if NBC is true to form they will talk about it all night and show it 15 minutes before the end of the coverage

That's one hell of a story.  I love Mike Wise.  I really miss him on the radio.

cool story
last week there was a story in the Boston Globe saying what a selfish ass White was for backing out of the slopeside (the decision made perfect sense to me - concentrate on what's important, give someone else a chance to compete).
I guess that author never met him.

Thanks for sharing RJ, SW rocks IMO.
Too bad he wasn't able to pull another gold.

Nice story. Reminds us that sports is just sports -- winning and losing isn't the most important thing.
