Top-10 (or more) Olympic Moments/Memories
Ted Ligety winning gold in the Combined, and coming back from a 3-second deficit in the process.
Julia Mancuso upsetting the GS status quo with her remarkable skiing performance through a blizzard to win gold.
The Canadian arealist who lost both his skis as he left the jump and yet still completed his routine and almost landed it cleanly on "two feet!"
Kjetil Aamodt defending his Gold medal in Super-G, and winning the most fickle Alpine event for the third time in his five Olympics.
The Chinese figure skating pair who rebounded from what should have been a knee and pelvis- shattering fall to take silver.
The crowd's deathly silence after Giorgio Rocca fell in the first run of slalom.
The sound of Thomas Morgenstern's feather-weight skis slapping the snow as they touched down near the 140 meter line in the Large Hill Ski Jumping competition.
Live Curling.
The fact that Antoine Deneriaz pre-ordered champagne for himself in anticipation of victory after he won the final Downhill training run despite sliding his skis sideways twice before the finish line.
Shaun White's Stars and Stripes bandana that he wore around his face while he competed.
Attending a men's hockey game, and observing the pride with which the Swedes played for their country.
Listening through the awkward silence for Canadian figure skater Emmanuel Sandhu's response when Schlopy asked him if other guys "shoe-jumped," after we watched him work through some of his routine in the Olympic Village's weight room.
