Earlier this week, Dutch speed skater Sven Kramer was a lock for gold in the 10,000m. But in the middle of his race, Kramer switched into the wrong lane based on his coach's advice. The miscue got Kramer was disqualified. His coach admitted the mistake. but Kramer is already looking past it, vowing to keep his coach.
Put yourself in Kramer's shoes. Do you imagine yourself making the same decision to forgive your coach? Do you say 'accidents happen'? Or, given that you should really have two gold medals from Vancouver, is this too big of a mistake to forgive?

Two-time gold medalist. Snowboarding pioneer. Self-made worldwide brand.
Lots of descriptions apply to Shaun White. But according to White, one name's got to go.

Curling has captured the attention of Olympic fans, and part of the appeal stems from some of the quirkiness associated with the sport.
Chief among these quirks is the screaming. After a curler releases a stone, their job is to instruct the sweeper if they should start sweeping or just let the stone travel unaided toward the house. This message is usually delivered in violent and repeated screams that can be difficult for viewers to understand. Naturally, we are fascinated by what they are saying.
We want you to let us know what you think they're saying.

alongside another speed skating legend, Bonnie Blair.
Ohno's silver
in the 1500m means he now has a total of six Winter Olympic medals to
call his own. That number ties him with Blair for the title of ‘most
decorated American Winter Olympian of all-time.'

What did you think of the Vancouver Opening Ceremony?
The Opening Ceremony at BC Place was Canada's reintroduction to the world, as it is the first time the nation has hosted the Olympics since 1988.
