Winter Games

The Olympics are here...
and so far it doesn't seem like the greatest start.


The tragic death of the 21 year old Georgian luge athlete.  My heart sank when I heard this story.  You don't expect for a tragedy to occur at such a great event that brings people from all around the world together; a time that should be for celebrating.


The 4th pillar not coming up for the torch lighting indoor. That's kind of embarrassing... The look on Steve Nash's face while waiting for the pillars to come up was priceless though.


Delay in a men's skiing event because of the snow conditions.


The 1500m men's speed skating race.  It looked like a clear win for gold, silver and bronze for the South Korean athletes until one fell and took out the other.  At least Korea got a gold medal, but so very close to taking it all.


Mogul freestyle downhill skiing (not sure if that's the proper event name).  Canada had a good chance at obtaining the first Gold on home ground, but fell slightly short of that and placed 2nd.


Women's relay should be a good race to watch since it should be very close among all 4 team finalists.


It's only the beginning, there is still more to come so it's too early to say what the final outcome will be. =)


Go Canada! Go S. Korea! =)
