Olympic perspective

“Rogge and other IOC officials were unanimous in their verdict that Vancouver delivered the greatest ambiance and public enthusiasm of any Winter Games since the magical 1994 Games in tiny Lillehammer, Norway. Vancouver’s joyous mood also has been compared with the 2000 Summer Games in Sydney.” from tsn.ca

“For the first time, the Winter Olympic Games are on equal footing with a Summer Olympic Games,” said Kevan Gosper, a senior IOC member from Australia. “When we look back, we can say Vancouver is where we could start comparing Winter Games with Summer Games and not just winter with winter and summer with summer.” from tsn.ca

That is amazing praise of these Vancouver Olympic Games. I had a couple friends who were in Vancouver and Whistler and they all had the same thing to say about the Olympics. That it was the greatest 2 weeks ever, partying, watching sports and cheering for Canada. I wish I could have gone, mostly just to be there when Canada won the gold in hockey.

I am very proud of Canada and to be Canadian. Well done Vancouver.
