I Am Watching the Olympics (Day 3)

Well, it's just the first Monday morning, and I already feel woefully behind in following the Olympics. I haven't out little paper flag standings updated in the living room. I haven't even yet turned on NBC today. I'm sure there are a bunch of medals being awarded today, but I haven't yet checked to see what they are and when they happen. Also, I have a hangover of straggling questions from the first weekend:

-- Where's Moldova, and what again is the whole "Chinese Taipei"/"Taiwan" deal?

-- What's the deal with judo giving out two bronze medals (?!?) per event?

-- What are Claire Donahue and Lee Kiefer doing now?

-- Where is El Monte?

-- What's up with the women's soccer tournament now? What's up with the men's now that Honduras ensured that Spain can't advance?

-- What's up with Oberhof now?

-- What's up with Germany?

This out-of-control/behind-schedule feeling is pretty much what I feel along about the second Sunday of every Advent, too.
