Fun on Friday- The Winter Olympics (Week 2)

I wonder about those countries that only send one athlete to the Winter Games (Albania's lone athlete is an alpine skier; Bermuda sent one cross-country skier; Jamaica's only participant is a freestyle skier; while Chinese Taipei's single athlete is a luger). In each of these countries, do they only send one athlete due to funding issues? Did the freestyle skier from Jamaica have to win a "national championship"? Has the cross-country skier from Bermuda ever skied on snow? Is the luger from Chinese Taipei really the best luger in the country or is he just a rich kid whose family bought him a sled so he could be an Olympian?

All the figure skating must bring in major TV ratings. But it sure would be nice to see some hockey in prime time.

Vancouver looks like a beautiful city but it has certainly had some awkward weather over the past two weeks- snow had to be trucked in prior to the Games; lots of fog caused competition delays; no snow was then followed by snowstorms which caused delays; then rain melted the existing snow; and Vancouver has experienced 45 degree temperatures throughout the Games (or warmer than it's been in Knoxville).
