What happened in Torino?

What happened to our Olympic athletes? Bodie Miller didn't even get a bronze medal. He acted like a spoiled brat on national TV, and then said that he really didn't care whether he won a medal or not. Is that the kind of athlete we want representing our country? I believe that I heard that the budget for our ski team is twenty one million. Surely for that kind of money we can get some young folks who do care!
The two female skiers who wore jewelery while skiing weren't exactly showing respect either. I noticed that none of the foreign team members acted up like Bodie and these two girls. I felt sorry for the girl who lost the gold medal when she grabbed her snow board, but such is life. She learned a lesson that she will never forget. I don't really care whether our athletes bring home medals or not. I do however care how they represent our country to the rest of the world. Of course when our presidunce acts like the gunfigter Billy The Kid what should we expect.
Most of our team members acted as they should. It was just the few bad apples who will be remembered unfortunately.
