Janica Kostelic was the dominant athelete of the games and was treated by NBC as if she were a tenth place luger. If this kid was an American, she'd be at the White House having tea with W and the Mrs. today. These games were a showcase for relentless jingoism and phony patriotism. Ohno, was a swaggering kid who didn't cross the finish line first in any event and he got ten times the coverage of Janica Kostelic who got three golds and a silver. Yeah, that's the olympic spirit.
