1 March 2010: The Games EndThe last week has seen some amazing athletic accomplishments in their respective sports. Unfortunately (and exactly the reason why there is a gap in coverage), Team Russia did not excell in this round of olympic competition. Russia was knocked out of the Hockey finals by Canada, who went on to win the Gold against the United States (theres one highlight!). Our medal count inched up over the last few days with members from our team earning bronze in the 4x7.5 Biathatlon, silver in the parallel giant slalom, and a silver in Snow Boarding; our countries first ever medal in that event. Comically, a member of the Men's Hockey team was asked for an interview about their performance, and he ended up breaking the RIA novosti correspondant's camera. This shows the level of disappointment felt by players, fans, and leadership. Medvedev has called this teams performance dismal, while Putin has assured all these issues will be rectified before the 2014 games in Sochi. 23 February 2010Interesting news to report in Vancouver today. Team Russia's Women's Biathalon team has won gold in the relay event. They say they are exhausted, but very excited about their success. For both men's and women's Cross Country Skiing, Team Russia has earned bronze in both catagories. For figure skating, the team of Domnina, and Shabalin have also taken bronze for their ice dance.

Disappointment mixed with some laughs.... Plushenko takes home the Silver medal, defeated by his biggest rival, US skater Lysacek. In other upsetting news, Solvakia upset Team Russia's Mens Ice Hockey team in overtime with a penalty shot. In much more interesting news, a well known American comedian, Steven Colbert, visited the Russia house in Vancouver for his wildly popular news satire, The Colbert Report. RIA Novosti has footage at the following link: en.rian.ru/video/20100219/157942018.html Mr Colbert's appearance at the Russia house indicates its vast popularity, and the extent of its influence on the global society. Mr Colbert's television episodes mostly only include the most interesting, talked about, or important culturally relevant materials. For Russia's house to be featured on his report means that millions of Americans, and countless others world wide will have a glimpse at our incredibly popular location during the 2010 Olympic games. |

Men’s Hockey - - Slovakia vs Russia 9PM Pacific Standard Time.
Another day without medals for Team Russia. Although, our hockey team demolished Lativa 8-2, we expect the following matches against Slovenia, and the Czech Republic to be more difficult. In figure skating, Evegnia Plusenko has the lead, and is expected to maintain his edge as he approaches the finals for his sport. In other news, our athletes competing in the Bi-athalon claim that their performance will overshadow their competition. We eagerly await their performance.
