Who the fuck is Wayne Gretzky?

All you Canadians look alike.

He's the dude on the video game they play in Swingers.

Personally i think the other Lindsey on USA team is cuter, but just one man's opinion.

part of me wants the US Speed skating team to flop badly, just because of that Colbert crap.

Are you living under a rock?  I thought you were Canadian?

Skiing doesn't have a very high profile, even at the Olympics.

????? One of the higher profile sports for most of us. Everything is several ranks below Hockey, though obviously.

Whilst I am not a lawyer, and don't have post graduate degrees, I think, and people who know me agree, that I'm fairly intellectual and well read. The fact that I never heard of her speaks volumes.

I wish other Canadian on here can chime in on this.

The fact that you are intellectual is the very reason you are out of touch on this.  Ski schools and ski runs all across the country are named after her.  Most Canadians know something about their winter sports even if they have never skiied in their life.  I would be interested to know how many Canadians have tried skiing.  My bet is that of the people your age or older it would be the majority.

SO, can Canada finally win a Gold medal when hosting an Olympics? Or will the streak continue....

given the number of golds we have won since 88, either you know nothing about recent olympic history or you are just trolling.

But Canada has never won a gold medal in an Olympics that was held in Canada.   

That is why I said after 88.  We have won a great many gold medals since then.  A lot more attention was spent on training and we had the facilities built for the 88 Olympics when before many althletes had to travel abroad to train.

That said, I think it's hard to determine which athlete in very different sports is deserving of being held up above all others, for women's sports at least.  For men's sport, it is easy:  Gretzky.
