I love watching most sports and have enjoyed the Winter Olympics. I wonder if I am the only one disturbed however by how important chance seems to be in many winter events. I am particularly thinking about short track skating and snowboard cross. The Olympics should be about being the best,not the luckiest.

There's nothing wrong with trying your hardest and not winning the gold. In fact, I always wonder why people think a silver or bronze medal is a "loss."
But, geez, Miller's attitude stinks. If he wants out of the lime light, then he should return all of his endorsement money and go be a ski instructor. He acts like he doesn't even want to be at the Olympics. Last time I checked, participation was voluntary.
