		The best moments of this Olympics were the victories in ice hockey of Canada over the USA in the finals (3-2 for the women and 5-2 for the men).

	The Seattle Times: Olympics: Hats off to thrills of Turin
		The Turin Olympics — which wound up in grand style Sunday night with a fun-loving closing ceremony that included dancing tarot cards, a Paganini dream sequence and Avril Lavigne in Jan Brady go-go boots — were a tale of two Games.
		For every thermonuclear Olympic bust — Bode Miller's 0-for-5 performance on the slopes and classless boozing off them — there was a heart-warming boom, such as Julia Mancuso's breakthrough victory in the women's slalom, or Redmond racer Scott Macartney's steady results that didn't win medals but will forever live in his memory.
		But aside from medal celebrations at Piazza Castello, particularly when an Italian such as luge master Armin Zoeggeler won a gold medal, you never got the feeling that the people of Turin were much more in spirit with the happenings around them than they would have been for, say, a large trade convention.
