- It was nice to see the Canadians relax and poke a bit of fun at themselves for the torch problems during the opening ceremony. You have to be able to laugh at yourself before you have the right to laugh at anyone else!
- The Canadian hockey team was absolutely loaded! It's like the New York Yankees on ice.
- Why does the host country get to practice on some Olympic venues before the games start? Especially on the ski slopes where that gives the hosts a decided advantage. An ice rink is an ice rink but each ski slope and bobsled run is unique so, in fairness, everybody should get to see it for the first time at the same time.
- Why did Lindsay Vonn keep running into things? Although I don't think any tears need to be shed - with her celebrity and good looks my guess is she'll do OK without skiing.
- I never heard of "Platinum" medals. Maybe I should pay more attention.
All in all I enjoyed the games and the competition. Good job Vancouver.

Lindsay Vonn is overrated.
The only reason she's getting press is because of her looks, and her presence on camera (she's a media darling). There are WAY better athletes than her there - ones who don't need the media to showcase their talent, it just speaks for itself.
Lindsay hurt her shin, broke her finger, and caused Julie Mancuso (aforementioned athlete whose talent speaks for itself) to ruin her trial run because of her stupid fall. Did you see any OTHER "gold medal contenders" in such dire straits at the Olympics?
