I don't normally get worked up about things that sports figures do; after all, they're entertainers of a sort. But this makes me angry. Let me get this straight. Kwan was injured and couldn't compete in the qualifying tournament for the Olympics. But, she had a special workout designed to prove to US Olympic officials that she was over the injury. She did well enough that she was put on the three-woman team, at the expense of third-place finisher Emily Hughes, younger sister of Salt Lake City golden girl Sarah. Michelle got her Opening Ceremonies and now she's still injured enough that she might have to withdraw from competition. It looks like EH would get her chance, but who knows if she's kept up her training and all the rest.

I just can't bring myself to work up much admiration for snowboarders getting Olympic medals. What's next, Olympic Freestyle Graffiti? The Downhill Hooligan?
It's even worse that they are all so damn young too. Since when does some kid who isn't old enough to shave work up the courage to ski down a honking big ramp and fly 100 meters down the hill?
The World is going to hell in a handbasket.
