Oh well...We can't please everyone....

Lol...As for security..Don't they have those FBI guys.....That's more than enough security to a friendly country like Canada...lol....

Hope they get to celebrate and congratulate afterwards, regardless....

Commercial break...

The 50 K race finished earlier today - it was the last event before the hockey game went into overtime. The medals for hockey were presented on the ice as many of the players had to leave right away since they have to get back to their regular competition schedules. Detroit is apparently playing in Colorado tomorrow night - with the Olympic team members on the ice. No resting on their laurels, apparently.

I wonder if its also because its a marathon race. If I remember during the summer olympics, they have the marathon ceremony award during the closing event... or am I just making that up?

Finally married... and still married... ;)

All I can say is, -I- wish I can be there... but the tickets were just so expensive!!!! My friend works for the government and had access to tickets and I could not believe the prices for the opening, closing and all the popular sports. The only sports that seemed reasonable were the cross country skiing and so forth... and that I would be happy to watch indoors :P

Finally married... and still married... ;)

Ariana Chris sang the Greek National anthem to honour Greece as the founder of the Olympic games (she is a Canadian of Greek heritage); Ben Hepner sang the Olympic Anthem, and the choir from the Russian Federation just sang the National Anthem of the Russian Federation.

How much were the tickets...just out of curiousity?

Wow, were they really that hard to get? I agree, best to stay indoors instead...

Lol..Now if it wasn't for this darn NBC American coverage...lol....

Otherwise it would feel like we were just there....

Commercial breaks (why are there so many breaks...NBC folks have go to the bathroom a lot or something?...)

How else are they going to cover the most-likely-atrocious amount of coin they had to fork over for the broadcast rights? :lol:

No idea, but it's the freakin' Olympics, so it had to be a metric f***-ton (approx 1.13 times an imperial f***-ton). ;):lol:
