While we still don't know how many hours of Olympic coverage NBC and it's affiliates will air, there are new announcements from NBC's Olympic Sport's channel, Universal Sports. Throughout the two weeks of the Vancouver Olympics, the sports channel will air 5 hours of Olympic coverage from 10 am to 3 pm daily, showing news, highlights, previews and medal ceremonies. They will also have a 24 hour news ticker. I am so not going to have enough room on my dvr.
Alpine skier, Lindsey Vonn lost her lead in the World Cup standings this weekend after missing a gate in a slalom event and failing to finish the race. Vonn is still recovering from an injured arm.
39 of the 2985 athletes who participated in the 2006 Winter Olympics were representing Latin America and the Caribbean. The majority (2069 athletes) came from European countries.
In 2006, Canadian Duff Gibson became the oldest individual Winter Olympic Champion at the age of 39 when he won the skeleton event in Turino, Italy.
