Heh, I don't really care what the most memorable event for you was. Seeing how I hardly watched any of Klassen's races, I really cannot recall anything about them besides the fact that she medaled. Now, I can remember Hedrick's celebrations, Cheek's win and donation to charity of his winnings, the Davis-Hedrick fued and medal wins, Ohno, Ahn, and Lee battling for nine medals, and the Gold-Silver for men and women snowboarding. Plus, Bode's comments about not getting drunk "that much". Those are what I remember, from my perspective.

It's not *my* most memorable event, it is *the* most memorable event. Five medals tops anything else, I am sorry. Obviously if you didn't see it, you would not understand.

Ooh, speaking of memorable events, I think the US losing to Sweden in women's hockey has to be up there. I still can't believe that happened.

The most memorable event will be the one they talk about endlessly in 4 years at the next Olympics.  It could even be talked about for years to come (US-Soviet hockey game) or it could be talked about for one year and then forgotten (Lots of stories.)  My bet is the snowboarder hotdogging and falling is mentioned for years to come while the 5 medals does not last that long.

EDIT: Wanted to add that these are the 2 events my students are talking about the most for the Olympic project they have.  Third is the US Men taking bronze in curling.
