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.

Actually I'll disagree with this. Bode is horribly inconsistent. The dude is a loose cannon. He might blow everyone else off the course or he might hook the first gate. You just never know with the guy. Of course this makes him exciting, but also frustrating to watch.
The material thing doesn't really hold much wtaer, IMO. I just don't see an Olympic medal as a "material possession." The athletes aren't there working their butts off because they think the medals are pretty. :)
