Photo: Wikimedia.com - public domain The 2006 Winter Olympics is full of drama and stories like every other Olympics and yet, as with every Olympics, they are endlessly new and engaging.  Stories write themselves, and photoblogs and videos overflow with energetic images. Podcasters and bloggers report directly from Torino; commentary races around the Web, full of gossip, news, and views. Pajamas Media brings us Olympic posts from its group of gold-medal bloggers, collected at its Gold Rush site. It's an efficient way to see a treasure of comments from throughout the blogspace. And Pajamas Media member, Yay Sports! Olympics, combines text with clever graphics-mangling to make fun of everyone and everything (caution: edgy humor). Technology writer Dejah does a full-personality edge-to-edge analysis of the figure skating competition.  Definitely worth having the Figure Skating Blogopen while watching the skating events.  Michael Weiss, two-time figure skating Olympian, the first American to land a quad toe loop in competition, and now a blogger, gives us the informative and classy Michael Weiss on Turin. The Ohno Zone, blogging since 2002, follows the ups and fall-downs of Apolo Anton Ohno and the US short track speed skaters.  The Ohno Zone never lacks for material about this great athlete.  The posts sparkle, and there are enough photos to make this almost a photoblog. The charming Torino 2006 Blog is written by Kyrre Anderson, a Norwegian living in Italy who works very hard at bringing the Olympics to us. His posts have the knowledge of a native; all of the concerts at the Medal Plaza in the center of Torino are listed here. "The Journey: Our Road to The Olympic Games" is an insider's group blog featuring 2006 Olympians posting about their respective sports: Emily (freestyle aerials), Cammi (ice hockey), Julia (alpine skiing), Johnny (nordic combined), Marco (alpine skiing), and Seth (snowboarding). Veteran journalist and NBC Olympics announcer Paul Robbins rounds out this unbeatable team. When you've finished looking at the print blogs, turn your attention to the multimedia and podcasting feeds presented here. The New York Times has podcasts that offer its trademark quality reporting and commentary in audio form. These podcasts make good soundtracks when you tire of the TV ads. Yahoo provides an excellent slideshow feed with nearly 500 photos. Above all, visit photojournalist John Lehmann's Filmless Photos photoblog where he posts most days from Torino. He probably has a great camera, but this guy is persona di talento. If you can pull yourself away from the TV, these Top 10 Sources are worth their weight in, well...gold.
