Elana Myers Taylor (US) is one of the most decorated women in Winter Olympics history. She has six medals, and her first gold came today in the monobob. At 41 she is the oldest ever.

I think the only woman more decorated is Bonnie Blair with 5g and 1b in speed skating.

The most decorated Winter Olympic athlete of all time is Norway's Marit Bjørgen, a cross-country skier with 15 total medals (8 gold, 4 silver, 3 bronze) accumulated over five Olympic Games, solidifying her legendary status in winter sports. She surpassed fellow Norwegian biathlete Ole Einar Bjørndalen, who holds 14 medals, to claim the top spot

JH Klaebo does hold the record now with 9 golds in cc.

Bill Mazeroski - RIP

The greatest HR ever hit, 1960 WS, walk off , game 7 to beat the Yankees.......

Hall of Famer Mazeroski, whose homer won 1960 WS, passes away

Bill Mazeroski stood outside on a surprisingly chilly mid-February day a few years ago in Bradenton, Fla., making his annual Spring Training visit to see his former team at the Pirate City training complex. He could still repeat the quick, fluid movements that made him such a renowned defensive...

Hoops is heating up. One of the great nicknames with the Idaho "Vandals" hahaha. First time they made the tourney since 1990.

Kennesaw State and Cal Baptist also made it.

12 High Point over 5 Wisconsin. 83-82. Get dat poop outta here!

 

[Dude#1279435]

I still get chills watching all those buzzer beater highlights. I'll take the first week of the tourney over just about anything with exception to maybe the World Cup.

 

[Dude#1279435]

VCU down 19 comes back and beats No Carolina 82-78 hahaha. My new coin: get dat poop outta here! Gotta love it.

 

[Dude#1279435]

1 Duke over 16 Siena. 71-65. Great effort in a loss. Apparently Duke was down 11 at half.

6 Louisville over 11 So Florida. 83-79. Another good effort in a loss.

A shame the state of women's college hockey. Looks like it will be Wisconsin/OSU for the fourth year in a row. I think Wisconsin has four Olympians on the team. Hopefully OSU wins it, but Wisconsin is loaded. Clarkson is the only East team to ever win it with three titles.

Right now Wisconsin leads 3-2 after two, but for Penn St to win would take a miracle. They can't even hardly get it across Wisconsin's blue line lol.

 

[Dude#1279435]

Nothing exciting in hoops but did put a little smile on my face with Utah State beating Nova. 9 vs 8 seed.

 

[Dude#1279435]

Well hopefully I eat my words. Penn State despite being out shot is out shooting in the 3rd. Janecke is relentless for PSU and tied it.

 

[Dude#1279435]

Ah that sucked. Wisconsin wins in OT. What a bonehead play by the PSU player deciding to check from behind into the boards. Then on the PP the defensive player lets her skate in on the angle unchallenged, almost as if back tracking. Well it was a brief moment of hope. Bummer Janecke is a senior.

Not looking good for Prairie View (vs 1 Florida)
