I understand what you mean.... this is suposse to be the olympic network... but they only care about unprofessionnel athlete during the olympics.... I really hope Ctv/rds/tsn/v will change that for the next olympics. Could be fun times to time to see events from the differents sports in the olympics such as speed skating, skeleton, moguls,etc. Maybe this way peoples will understand more the athletes that are representing us in Vancouver and the olympics... some have gr8 stories to tell like the sister of chandra crawford. But they is still time, lot's of competition are going to be show in the next few weeks... tsn/rds/ctv... take a step, show us our athletes conquer the world in quest for vancouver 2010. the road to vancouver is now... let us know what is happening and feel contected to our athletes before the games start, not just during the games. thanks Go canadian athletes and congrats to jen heil for this gold. you're the best!
