   Maria Albaniz

   Hola,

3. 00:07
   

   Jorge Cortez

   Hola

4. 00:08
   

   Maria Albaniz

   and welcome back to Telemundo's coverage of the Olympic Games live from Vancouver. I'm Maria Albanese.

5. 00:14
   

   Jorge Cortez

   And I'm Jorge Cortes. This is the first time Telemundo has ever covered the Winter Olympics, and we keep asking ourselves the same question. Why does anyone like the Winter Olympics? It is cold, and these sports are silly.

6. 00:26
   

   Maria Albaniz

   It is a mystery to everyone here at Telemundo.

7. 00:29
   

   Jorge Cortez

   All these sports are on snow or ice. Why would they do this? These are bad, slippery surfaces.

8. 00:36
   

   Maria Albaniz

   plus all the sports are either very strange or something you would do if you wanted to kill yourself

9. 00:41
   

   Jorge Cortez

   but as a proud member of the NBC familia we continue to broadcast this nonsense let's go live to our own Rosa Martinez at the ski jump

10. 00:50
    

    Maria Albaniz

    where are you right now

11. 00:53
    

    Rosa Martinez

    I would say that I am in hell but it is far too cold for that so I must be at a Whistler Mountain

12. 01:00
    

    Jorge Cortez

    Rosa what is your favorite memory of these games

13. 01:03
    

    Rosa Martinez

    i would say the flight here it was the last time i was warm

14. 01:09
    

    Maria Albaniz

    well your outfit is very cute

15. 01:11
    

    Rosa Martinez

    gracias for that but i feel i am slightly underdressed i uh lost some fingers

16. 01:16
    

    Jorge Cortez

    rosa uh did you see any ski jumping

17. 01:22
    

    Rosa Martinez

18. 01:26
    

    Jorge Cortez

    it looks like he's doing fine

19. 01:29
    

    Rosa Martinez

    he's going very fast

20. 01:30
    

    Maria Albaniz

21. 01:32
    

    Jorge Cortez

    Lovely. Where did the wrap go?

22. 01:34
    

    Maria Albaniz

    Dios mio! Where's the ramp? Se paso ahi! Se va a caer! Oh no! Se va a caer!

23. 01:39

    Oh! Oh!

24. 01:41
    

    Maria Albaniz

    God, he's okay. Thank goodness.

25. 01:44
    

    Jorge Cortez

    How Rosa, did this happen? Did they forget to finish building the ramp?

26. 01:54
    

    Rosa Martinez

    You will not believe this. The ramp was supposed to be like that.

27. 01:58
    

    Jorge Cortez

    Que que?

28. 01:59
    

    Rosa Martinez

    Es loco.

29. 02:00
    

    Maria Albaniz

    You either finish building a ramp or you do not build it at all.

30. 02:03
    

    Jorge Cortez

    This is the madness that happens when a country has no beaches.

31. 02:10
    

    Jorge Cortez

    joining us now is canadian olympic committee spokesman ken franzen

32. 02:14

    Ken Franzen

38. 02:36
    

    Jorge Cortez

    Jorge Cortez

    no no we already know too much thank you ken franson

43. 03:01
    

    Maria Albaniz

    Listen, I do not like these Olympic games.

44. 03:05
    

    Jorge Cortez

    We go now to our own Hector Lima at the Vancouver Olympic Center with the latest in curling action.

45. 03:10
    

    Maria Albaniz

    Hola, Hector. What is wrong? You look upset.

46. 03:12
    

    Hector Lima

    Si. I've been told that curling was like shuffleboard, a sport I like and understand.

47. 03:18
    

    Jorge Cortez

    Ah, yes, yes, shuffleboard. I know this sport. Yes, I like this. You can play in the short sleeves with the drinks, with the throws.

48. 03:23
    

    Hector Lima

    I was excited to see it, but I have some very sad news. Apparently a water main has burst and flooded the shuffleboard court.

49. 03:30
    

    Maria Albaniz

    Madre de Dios!

50. 03:32
    

    Hector Lima

    And because it's so cold, the entire floor is frozen solid. They've been forced to play shuffleboard with the rocks.

51. 03:40
    

    Jorge Cortez

    What are they doing?

52. 03:41
    

    Hector Lima

    I believe these poor men are trying to melt ice with the brooms, a-sweeping and a-sweeping, but it does no good. So sad, so very, very sad.

53. 03:51
    

    Maria Albaniz

    Well, I think we have a surprise that may cheer you up.

54. 03:55
    

    Hector Lima

    No, nothing could cheer me up.

55. 03:58
    

    Maria Albaniz

    Don't look now, Hector, but I think little Jefferson has a present for you.

56. 04:02
    

    Hector Lima

    No, Jefferson, no, go away. No, now is not the time. Olympic Shuffleboard is ruined. It's tragic.

57. 04:10
    

    Maria Albaniz

    Ay. Poor Jefferson.

58. 04:12
    

    Hector Lima

    It's very tragic. Very sad, sad news today from the Olympic Shuffleboard Center.

59. 04:16
    

    Jorge Cortez

    When we return, more freezing insanity.

60. 04:20
    

    Maria Albaniz

    I want to go home now.

61. 04:21
    

    Jorge Cortez

    Yeah, me too.
