1992 and 1994 Olympics?

I'm watching the US hockey game right now and got thinking back to how the "miracle on ice" happened in 1980 which if an Olympics were to occur every four years, would not equate to having the Olympics in 2010.

Upon doing some research, I found that there were a Winter games in 1992 and 1994 and then carried on with 1998.

Why the hell was there a Winter Olympics twice in a four year period?

They changed it so they wouldn't be the same year as the Summer Olympics.

That makes sense.

How is the US team looking?

They should beat the Swiss pretty easily.

See the line on the Canadian game against Norway tonite lol -10000

hahahaha.

The US looked good - the puck was in the Swiss zone basically the entire game, to the point where I actually felt bad for Hiller.

Miller played well but the Swiss had several chances to put it by him.

3-1 final score.

Is that seriously the line for the Canadians tonight?

Unbelievable.

So a dollar wins like 10,000 grand on the Norway side?

Haha - not happening.

Well you could put 10k on the canadians for 100 hahahah.

The US controlled most of the play yesterday but they looked real sloppy. Missing passes, falling down, fumbling the puck...

That said, I think olympics hockey should be live on TV everytime I hop on a cardio machine. 45 minutes on the elliptical yesterday flew by. Another game is on this afternoon.

Finland vs Slovakia or some shit.

The primetime coverage on NBC is awful. Too much human interest background crap, and too much figure skating. There are several other NBC-owned channels that show live events during the day. The USA network has the daytime hockey on. MSNBC had the Team Canada game last night.

So, stay away from NBC and you can see some good stuff here.

I was home Monday afternoon and xc skiing was on. That looks hard.

I can live a little happier. They are waking up, and destroyed the Russians last night. Play Slovakia Tomorrow night. Could be leading to a rematch with the US from the 2002 gold medal game.
