Speaking of Olympics, have you all heard this story? Three American ice dancing siblings won't be skating for Team USA - Fourth-Place Medal - 2010 Olympics Blog - Yahoo! Sports

In a nutshell 3 siblings are all ice skaters. But they have dual citizenship in the USA and Japan, so 2 are skating partners performing for Japan. The third younger sibling is partnered with someone from Georgia, and so will be skating for that country.

There's a sobering story about a luger who crashed on a training run and has since died.
