today i started getting a bit cocky about my knowledge of olympic sports. over a week into the winter games, i began assuming that i'd seen enough of these sports now to make insightful observations and worthwhile points while watching them. this led to my saying things like "what are they doing playing mike richards playing on this line?!" during canada's men's hockey game, or "ooh, he took a pretty poor line there" while watching two-man bobsleigh. this continued on until, in the midst of my observations about women's curling, one player made a shot that i didn't understand or even realize was legal. i figured it was time to call it a day at that point.
