Ready for the games

My boys have been playing the video game "Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games." So they are expressing interest in watching the real thing.
We'll see how that goes. I mean, once you've seen Dr. Eggman or Luigi curling, it's hard to go back to boring Canadians or Norwegians going for the gold.
The United States will become the country with the second-most Winter Olympic medals, probably by Sunday. The U.S. has won 216 medals since the games began, just behind the Soviet Union's 217. And the Soviets aren't winning any more medals.
