Oh I have more faith than 5 medals. We are not a summer sport kind of nation though. Just being there is an awesome experience for the athletes.
 
GO CANADA for sure!!

Yeah, not to be a party pooper, but the world only knows Canada in the Summer Olympics for a sprinter on steroids. Oh well look at our dudes, we make East Germany's team look tame. hahaha

I'm watching the basketball games, root for the US to lose.

You're reallly a sport dude kid eh ? lol Pollution in China, steroids in Canada, and yet no analysis or understanding whatsoever of the reasons behind those things that have nothing to do with sports.

Here in Amerika that isn't shown until prime time.
They were teasing it on tv earlier, saying it was the best they've ever seen. I have a sinking feeling Vancouver's is going to blow giant chunks, unfortunately.

I wouldn't be surprised. Chinese and Asians in general are good at that.

You are probably right. I missed today's opening ceremonies, but I hear they were pretty amazing.
The world doesn't treat the Winter Olympics the same.  They are doing them at *YAAAAWN*...BC Place too.
 
Oh well. As long as there is a pothead snowboarder REPRASENTAN BC and Canada!! Oh yeah!!

I'm not one for flashy hooplah.....but I have to say, the opening ceremonies were the most spectacular thing EVER !!!!!!!   Unbelievable !  Engineering and technological genius.....  Heart, history, precision showmanship........I can't find enough words.....most impressive.

I just saw the part where the gymnast run on the wall to loght the flame. That was impressive. I'll try to catch some replay.

The drummers (and their precision) made my jaw drop.  I also loved the 'movable boxes'.  Absolutely spectacular.
