There are more 100 athletes on Twitter at these Winter Olympics. These are some of the best tweets -- so far -- for Feb. 27:
@MikeDski Damn! My thoughts today are with my friends in Chile after this morning's massive earthquake. Mike Douglas, skier, Canada
@chadhedrick Laughing in the locker room about an athlete who forgot his underwear to an event. They had to call US Olympic Committee for assistance! Chad Hedrick, speed skater, U.S.
@SteveMesler Back on the bus with Olsen and Curt, heading to the bob track one last time...today, we finish it. Steve Mesler, bobsledder, U.S.
@cmoffat You know what I love? How during the olympics, formal attire includes a Canada hockey jersey! After last nights game I'm going formal! Chris Moffat, luge, Canada
