NBC Olympics: Athlete Profiles
We  planned to sit this Olympics out. And we did -- for about 48 hours. Then, the Flying Red Tomato bested the halfpipe, the figure skater bowed out in tears, and all the bizarre events showcased by the Winter Games charmed us into submission. (Three cheers for curling!) Now we've blown our cool, and there's nothing for it but to hunker down until the last bobsled whizzes past the finish line. The Web offers a wealth of great coverage, not the least of which comes from our own Yahoo! Sports. We're also rooting for NBC's page of athlete profiles, which offers interviews, photos, trivia, and an amazing wealth of video clips. We highly recommend some of the historic footage, such as the spectacular 2002 wipeout in the men's short track 1000m race with Apolo Anton Ohno and Ahn Hyun-Soo, and Hermann Maier's 1998 gold-winning giant slalom run in Nagano.
