Five Best Things about seeing Speed Skating at the Olympics:

5. The go super fast. And the skaters have thighs like tree trunks. Was wondering if sport would get more mainstream if there was exciting soccer-like shirt/jersey take off after heats? Just a thought.

4. Crashes are exciting too. It's like human NASCAR.Can't wait until Short Track next week.

3. The tuba band, Kleintje Pils, was completely insane. They played everything. Sweet Caroline, Check. And at one point the Oval was pumping Daft Punk. And at other times it was super Euro.

2. The Dutch. How much do these people love this sport? Except for those two super creepy orange cat people. That was just weird.

1. The guy doing the "Go to the start" and "Reaaaaady?" calls. Going to make this my ring tone. Its awesome! Download it.

Oh, and here are the results if this is something you care about.
