Olympics (last)

[lauradi7dw]

I was pleased to hear that more different countries won medals this time than at any previous winter Olympics. I was not pleased that NBC decided to cut out parts of the athletes' march during the closing ceremony to show us re-runs of competitions. Nice to see juggling and ladder walking and other circus arts during the show. We are happy that the Vancouver winter Olympics are having an Inukshuk as their logo, and think they should figure out some way for it to be the mascot as well.
One of the NBC commentators remarked that the people they hyped in advance didn't do very well overall, and maybe they should stop selecting people that way. We can only hope.
