I don't know about you all, but I have major Olympics fever. I can't seem to tear myself away from the prime time competition and yesterday completely lived up to my every hope. Five american medals in some of the most exciting events: speed skating, downhill skiing, and snowboarding half pipe. Truly awesome.
Also awesome? The NYTimes coverage of the Olympics. There have been some great interactive features, including a video series that interviewed the world's best snowboarders on things like listening to music while boarding, their first trick, training, and being a veteran.
UPDATE: The NYTimes just added another interactive feature that describes the tricks snowboarders use on the half-pipe and how Shaun White managed to win his second consecutive gold medal. Check it out here.
