What the heck does the population of India have to do with the global popularity of cricket? I guess table tennis must be massive because of the population of china. Good call.

Sadly Hockey is the worst performing North American game, hence why so many franchises struggle in the US.

I was dissapointed by the lack of people in the bar tonight. Infact I watched the game and my two best Canadian freinds couldn't make it for apparently good reasons.

Canadian sports passion is just not the same. Full stop.
Moscow was awake for the game. lol, yes, your bar experience must tell it all. However you are wrong on the worst performing sports in NA. They include soccer, cricket, field hockey, rugby, darts, etc.

Tough break for the GB "ladies two man bobsled." Hope they're OK.

Canada had a good day today - CRUSHED Russia, who were bragging they were going to dominate, won gold and silver in bobsled, silver in short track pursuit and Clara Hughes, who must be the most humble person alive, won bronze at age 38 (long track 3000m).

On a sort of less related note, If David Beckham just cleared up once and for all whether Posh Spice takes it up the back alley, then he wouldn't have to go around confronting fans whom he claims are insulting his wife.

Beckham earns more than the top 3 NHL Players put togethar. He could buy the franchise Sidney Crosby played for if he wanted.

Where is Wayne Gretzky these days??? Not gambling on this Olympics???

Iced Hockey is the poor relation of Field Hockey. Like Beach Football is to Football. That's why it's in the Winter Olympics- so nobody can see it.

Didn't you watch the Ali G interview? She claims that she doesn't!

Yeah man, like Sidney Crosby is known all around the world, in China and stuff, like Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan, in fact he's known more than even Jordan or Pele or anyone of those sissies.

I'd take his anonymity - if it came with his bank account!

I'd even take Posh if it came with Beck's bank account! Forget the kids though!

$42 million. If Hockey is supposedly bigger than Rugby and Cricket then why doesn't Crosby earn a quarter as much?????????

Shouldn't that be two-women bobsled?

Will they ever go to mixed doubles?
