Olympic Digest 2/14/2010

We spent most of the day watching the games , men's biathlon in the morning and women's speed skating in the afternoon. We were hoping for medals in the women's and Kristina Groves did win a Bronze. I like watching this event and am amazed at the strength and endurance of the participants. It was exciting to watch.
Then we watched the men's Biathlon this morning. I had never seen that one but found it be fun to watch. They had to do a skiing event then stop and shoot their rifles at five targets, for each missed target they had to ski another penalty round. One participant missed three rounds-he was pretty tired.:>)) The shooting events were one prone and one standing. Good show.
We are all fascinated by twins and our Hockey player forwards identical twins Daniel and Henrik Sedin are a great example of twin watching. But I found another set of identical hockey playing twins, U.S. forwards on the Women's Hockey team Jocelyn and Monique Lamoureux. The women say they know each other so well they are able to read each other's minds it seems. When Daniel and Henrik play hockey you can see that they know what the other is going to do. it is truly fascinating.
