-Lindsey Jacob-Ellis (2-time Olympics failure. I think it's funny how they're calling her the "loveable loser" this year, because in Torino she was the poster-child for poor sportsmanship and showboating!)
-Bodie Miller
-Julia Mancuso (The tiara would be fine if she were 4 years old playing dress-up, but I think it's time for her to grow up! So embarassing!)

I like pretty much all the like athlete's you listed, with the exception of Lindsey Vonn. I mean she's ok, but it's annoying how the media focuses on her so much when there's a lot of other athlete's. I also like Meryl Davis and Charlie White, in addition to Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, both of whom performed amazingly last night in the ice dancing event. I like Evan Lysacek too, in addition to John Kerr and Sinead Kerr for their unique routine. I see nothing wrong with Bode Miller. Team USA should be grateful for Ryan Miller, who helped us win the hockey game against Canada.
I really like Apollo Ohno ... but why did you state that he whines about others cheating? It was actually the Korean speed skaters who were protesting his wins in Torino I think, saying that he cheated, when in fact he didn't, and then they were whining about him competing in Vancouver. From my perspective, Apollo Ohno has been nothing but a good sport while being slandered by Korean media.
I dislike Plushenko of Russia for bad sportsmanship after the results of the men's figure skating event. No congratulations to Lysacek at all, just whining about not getting gold while having a silver. What a jerk. Other than him, not many others that I don't like.

Evan Lysacek & Shen/Zhao from figure skating! Amazing & breathtaking showmanship on the ICE!

I like Apolo Ohno. He's actually pretty humble and I've never heard him "whine".
Hate Plushenko. I don't even need to explain.

Someone who gives it their all, plays proud, plays fair, good sportsmanship, aren't cocky when they win, doesn't rub it in peoples faces, doesn't go claiming.
Even if they loose they applaud the winner, doesn't give excuses or reason to their loses and just accepts defeat from a strong good competitor. basically isnt sore looser.

I like Simone Hauswald, (Biathlon, Germany). I don't know any of the other athletes personally, so I can't really say I dislike them.

Anyone who gives it their all, competes fairly, shows proper sportsmanship and isn't a total cretin out of contest is good by me. Anyone who fails in any of those criteria isn't.

Totally agree with you on both lists. Also did not like Hedricks and Weir.
