Winter Olympics 2010!

[LuNaRtIc]

So, Opening Ceremonies are tomorrow in beautiful Vancouver! I've been really excited to watch the games this year. I'm especially looking forward to the hockey and watching Apolo Ohno in speed skating. :3 Will any of you be following the games? Or do you just tune in occasionally? Or do you completely tune out? lol

[GhaleonOne]

I'll watch some of it for sure. I got into the final days of the X Games. Honestly it's amazing watching the snowboarding and skiing events in high-definition. And I've always wanted to visit that part of Canada too.

I love the olympics! I am hoping to tune in for some figure skating and hockey. They don't show that much NHL on TV anymore in So Cal so it will be nice to get to watch a few olympic games. Ever since I first watched Cool Runnings i've checked out a little bobsledding during the games as well. (not enough to know anything about it though)

And I've always wanted to visit that part of Canada too.

Me too! Let's take a trip out there together. I don't have anyone to go with!!
And Monde, I totally get the hockey thing. Most of the channels here have been playing nothing but football since October. x_x Thank goodness for the local hockey team. Their games were the only bit of hockey I could watch for a while.

Never been a real big fan of the Olympics, but I still try to catch some it to also see Vancouver in beautiful HD quality I also would like to visit there too one day and I have visited Montreal before and, although it's on the opposite coasts of Vancouver and more predominantly French, I liked what I saw of Canada so far

I'm more of a summer olympics kind of person. That's where the judo is... ^_^

Yeah, that's what I'm wanting to see. That's half the reason I watched the X-Games.

Me and my Family are against it, Vancouver has its problems and could have put the money to much better uses. My auntie wont buy anything with that supports the Olympics and has its logo on it. Im also not looking forward to my dad yelling at the tv because everything is going to be olympic related. My family also laughs at the fact that they have to waste more money shipping in snow since we barley got any this year.
Im also not really into watching sports,the only time i watched the olympics was in the 5th grade, my teacher loved sports and so he show us stuff from it, i remember watching hockey and figuring skating, I sort of like watching figure skating but only when they do fancy stuff i dont like it when they just skate around in circles.
Also they stole all our Jam, in restaurants and stuff you couldn't get any packets of Jam, because the warehouse was empty, so we all know where it was shipped of too.
The area around Vancouver is pretty, the Okanagan is prettier

I'm looking forward to figure skating. KF

Meh, if I'm not participating, I'm not interested. I lost interest a couple of months ago, during some of their adds.

[Monde Luna]

Lunartic we used to have a minor league hockey team in town, it was awesome. I could go and get my hockey fix for $20. But the team stopped playing in 2006. :::time lapse::: Okay so I went to check out why the team stopped playing only to find that they are up and running again. =) New location new owner, i'm stoked. I'm going to have to go to a game soon!

[Sonic#]

I'll watch the skiing a lot! ^_^

And also play Epyx Winter Olympics.

[LuNaRtIc]

Let's do it yo!

I'm serious! Let's plan out a trip!! Maybe we can visit Kaiya-Sky while we're at it, haha!

I imagine it must be pretty crazy over there right now! I don't know if I could handle living in a city that was hosting the Olympics. Seems like a hectic time! A friend of mine in Vancouver joked that he was going to run away to Halifax during the games to escape all the crowds and craziness.

I will not be watching as one of the people doing the luge during trials ended up dead when he flipped the luge and went airborn into a metal pole. Nice job not padding your structures! Now they're dedicating the opening ceremony to this person. I didn't research it yet, but it's absolutely horrible.

I prefer the Summer Olympics with those sexy swimmers and gymnasts.

I live a little ways away from Vancouver so i dont have to put up with any of the Olympics stuff, but my cousin lived there, and with all the detours its an extra 30 minutes for her, and i cant imagine all the people, a few years ago i went to this other thing in Vancouver and the streets where packed it was crazy and a little scary, so i dont think i would be able to handel all those people around for the Olympics

I was just about to mention that, i saw it happen on the news a little awhile ago, the Olympics is already off to a bad start.
The Oympic opening is on the tv in the living room right now, iv watched a little bit here and there the sound was off and i was occupided with my broccoli stealing cat. My Nana is now complaining about how they sung our national anthem, the words were right but they changed to tune of it apparently

[LuNaRtIc]

Oh no!!! And just now they had technical difficulties with lighting the Olympic Flame! ;~;

Figure skating, man. That's where it's at. KF

It is very sad that Nodar died on the track. And I agree that those steel poles should be padded. However, even if they were would he still have survived crashing into it at 90-95 mph? Hopefully nobody else gets hurt on that track.

[LuNaRtIc]

It must be pretty nerve-wracking to sit at the top of that luge track before a race knowing someone died on it. I'm glad they made alterations to it. Hopefully no one else will get hurt.

On a more positive note, that 1500m short track race last night was really exciting!! I was afraid Apolo wasn't going to medal, it was really lucky those two Korean skaters wiped out just before the finish line. I'm glad Apolo and J.R. Celski both got to medal, that was awesome!

I can't remember who it was but when the media interviewed on luger (sp?) he said the track was boring now. I thought that was a rather interesting response...
