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.

Before you rip on Bode too much take his childhood into account. He grew up in a cabin with no electricity or running water with totally hippie parents. Material possession (medals included) aren't important in that culture.
Give me a break! The guy grew up in a cabin is the reason for his odd behavior? He's an elite athlete in his sport. He obviously loves competition and the perks he gets from being at the elite level. He doesn't seem to mind flying all over the world, partying his ass off and enjoying the good life but yet we should say he doesn't do as well as we would like because he grew up in a cabin.
