Both the American men and women's performance was nothing short of amazing!

Appearently everyone else in the arena knew it was over for him except Kramer and the American commentators. NBC was showing the jumping in the Nordic Combined. After that finished, they went to Kramer skating. They went to speedskating almost right when he made this erorr. The commentators thought he did the right thing by staying where he was and not entering the other lane. Then when they showed the South Korean basically celebrating, the commentators said something along the lines, "He knows that the gold is slipping away from him (Referring to the South Korean)."

USA! USA! USA!

Most Americans who cared did already know. It was on the frontpage of Yahoo and the top story on NBCOlympics.com. Also during the NBC Evening News they showed it. (They put up a graphic and played music, so that way, viewers that didn't want to be spoiled could look away.) ESPN also frequently reported the result. Which is what makes the NBC tape delays pointless.

I know that most of the world consider it to be based off of golds, which is why I was shocked when the official website suddenly had it listed in total medals. As of now, the US has the most total medals and gold medals.

The Americans have now won 12 total medals and 4 gold medals! That is nearly half of what the US got 4 years ago already (25 total and 9 gold). I think the Yanks can finally win the medal table for the first time since '32 at the winter games!

There is a German/Canadian rivalry? The Americans stole what Canada thought would be their first gold (Women's Moguls) and Canada's second gold was won in an event that the Americans thought was a sure bet for Lindsey Jacobellis. As for the race for the total medals, it looks to be an exciting race to the finish. The US is in first by total medals with 10, Germany with 9, France with 7, and Canada/Norway with 5. In terms of gold medals, Germany, US, South Korea, and Switzerland have the most with 3. Canada, Sweden, and France are also right behind with 2. I think tonight should hopefully be a good night for the Americans.

They just showed the event on NBC in America. I do have to say, I am shocked that the French guy got 6th! (Note I know nothing about Moguls). I thought the Canadian deserved gold, then France, then Australia, then USA. Of course, I'm fine with the Americans gaining a medal .

CONGRATULATIONS CANADA!!!!! Americans managed to get bronze. Good Job Australia with the first medal!

Seriously!? Both of them!? I see the final remaining American just went into second. Can Canada finally get their first gold? Will the Canadian representing Australia get it? Or will France snatch it? Can the American hold on for a medal. So much suspense lol.

NBC is airing figure skating and CNBC is airing hockey, so the moguls are being tape delayed. I am following the results on Vancouver2010.com and it says for two of the Americans RNS (Race Not Scored). Why is that?!

I just don't want Fox to host. I kind of hope ABC/ESPN win, since they would show the events live. Let's take a look at the channel possibilities. NBC Universal: We know they have done a pretty good job, but I want the events live in Sochi. They have NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, USA, Telemundo, Oxygen, and Universal HD. They could potentially return Bravo and extend to Sci Fi and The Weather Channel. However working strongly against them is despite being at the top of the game in the cable race, NBC has given up it's third hour of programming essentially for three hours of talk shows and will fall far behind CBS, ABC, and Fox in the first half of 2009 and the downward spiral is likely to continue. Disney (ABC/ESPN): It is a sport network and has many networks to work with. ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN News, ESPN Classic, ESPN U, ABC Family, Disney Channel, Disney DX, and Soap Net. Obviously Disney Channel and Disney DX is geared towards younger viewers, but when Fox owned family channel they used to help Fox air the MLB playoffs. So they have numerous channels and ABC/Soap Net is clearly geared towards females, so come up with sob stories and than sports fans know how to find the ESPNs, so I think they would likely be best. CBS/Time Warner: CBS is TVs#1 channel and Time Warner will have many channels to work with. The channels they would have to work with are CBS, CW, Showtime, CBS College Sports, TBS, TNT, CNN, CNN Headline News, Tuner Classic Movie, Cartoon Network, and truTV. They could work very well together. Fox: Fox has butchered the superbowl, the world series, and the BCS series in the past. I really do not want them to get it, but they do have the assets necessary. Those assets are Fox, MyNetworkTV, Fox Sports, Fox News, Fox Business, Fox Movies, Fox Reality, Fox Soccer, FX, and Speed Channel. So I'm fine with either ABC, CBS, or NBC, but not Fox. I'm also of course hoping for a Chicago victorious bid for 2016.

NBC's primetime coverage (8pm ET-11pmET) averaged 25.06 million on Saturday. On Sunday, it averaged 32.63 million. NBC also said that through the NBC Universal channels that 114 million had tuned in for five minutes (Atlanta had the most before with 110 million). Plus, networks usually say people who have tuned in through out the show's run, not the average of the program. For instance, America's Got Talents, is being advertised as seen by "over 70 million", but it only averages about 14 million each week.

I'm pretty sure swimming has been the only medal events they have aired live so far. The cable channels will start to air live medal events, once more medals are up for grabs.

USA is beating China 49-37 at halftime.
