Anyone watching? Being from Sweden, I am very excited to see so many medals for our athletes. Just saw the Swedish ladies win the gold in Curling, it was dramatic!

XC-skiing is my favorite sport to watch on tv, and hockey of course. Talking about hockey - big upset that Canada didn't make the semifinals. The Russians look very impressive. I hope to see Sweden in the finals!

I was very happy to see Sweden doing so well. I was excited for you and especially the fine musicians that come out of Sweden. With Sweden doing so well I hope the trickle down effect generates interest in other things Swedish such as music.

I'm going to see the boys from Uppsala March 11 in Denver for their only USA show before the release of the new album - Paradox Hotel. Long live Swedish music!

I saw the curling final too, first time I ever watched that sport. The hockey semi will be very interesting! I think sweden can go all the way to the finals if Forsberg and Sundin delivers that fine playing again :)

Heja Sverige!

Btw Robert, I bet you have been eating lots of Swedish food? Anything special that you really looked forward to?

SNOWBOARDING BRAH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! DOG TOWN RULEZ!

I thought they ripped off the 2nd Japanese girl on the scoring last night....(figure skating). She did really well and they put her in 3rd place. Then of course USA and Russia finished their presentations.

Did you want to know how I got a hold of Swedish fish? Answer: Kmart. 2 bags of the red ones for $3. My dentist is going to love me.

Since I'm a Red Wings fan, I'd also have to add the line of Holmstrom-Zetterberg-Samuelsson with Lidstrom and Kronwall on D.

And all three goals in the gold medal game come from the aforementioned Red Wings! Hopefully that means that there's another Stanley Cup in works!
