Now that it's over, stray thoughts...

On the Half-Pipe, why don't they get rid of that sharp, horizontal lip that runs down the top of both sides??? They could add another 60 degree incline to step it back or place some kind of cushions along there or some-such. watching that sort of painful and dangerous collision doesn't enhance my viewing experience.

They throw out the highest and lowest judge's scores everytime in some events. Figure Skating and Ice Dancing are the most popular events. If there are 8 judges scoring a preformance, the 2 highest and the 2 lowest could be tossed each time. It could be refined further by awarding a fifth score that is out of whack with the other 3 only a certain percentage of the difference. But maybe they like this sort of controversy.

I enjoyed the sledding and ice racing more than I expected. Even so, Figure Skating/Dancing, Half-Pipe Trick-Skiing/Boarding, and the Downhill Slolome Racing were the events that I'd go out of my way to see.
