Olympics!

[degrassi]

Anyone else obsessed with the Olympics? I don't know why but I love them :biggrin2: I'm just thankful that this year they are here in Canada so I can watch the sports at normal times and not have to get up in the middle of the night to watch.

My friends think I'm a little nuts but I love them

I'm excited too...but I'm not watching as much as I'd like. I have to share the TV with my husband and he's not a fan.

But I have been too busy to watch TV. I taped the Official Opening and will have to watch it later.

The local girl Jenn Heil from Spruce Grove won Canada's first medal (silver). Spruce Grove is20 minutesoutside of Edmonton.

I'm excited for ice dancing, figure skating and ice hockey.

I was watching the speedskating last night. Apolo Ohno and J.R. Celski are from Federal Way, WA so I was watching them.

Watching Men's moguls tonight was pretty exciting. Finally won our first GOLD!!!!

Anyone know when they show the medal ceremonies? Are they going to be televised or on the internet? All I could find was this http://www.vancouver2010.com/olympic-spectator-guide/celebrations-and-ceremonies/ceremonies/ But it doesn't say if its going to be shown on TV or online.

Same here! I used to watch a lot more before I married him, lol.

I am I am!!! I've been watching everything and am sooooooo psyched ^_^ I was really mad at myself because I had been counting down for weeeeks and then fell asleep and slept right through the opening ceremony :grumpy:Lol. But I got to watch it during the night.

Yesterday, with Alex winning... Woot woot!I soooo wanted him to win and was thrilled when he did. Just to see the expression on Frederic's face (his brother who has cerebral palsy) was worth it.

Not sure when the medal ceremonies are but Alex gets his tonight. :inlove:

Hockey today... Can't wait!

Did they say if they are atleast showing Alex's medal ceremony on TV?

They didn't show Jenn Heil's but had clips after. Hopefully since Alex's is gold they will show it.

Curling starts tomorrow!

Woot! Canada won Silver in Men's Snowboardcross!:bunnydance:

 

[JadeIcing]

GO USA! 18 medals so far! I can't watch... Don't ask but am following.

 

[degrassi]

Canada is kicking some butt in curling!

I can't wait until the Canada vs US hockey game on Sunday!

 

[hartleybun]

I'm working the Curling venue...

I am supervising the media buses that shuttle media members from the curling venue to the main media centre. I'm not inside, but I'm just outside the venue!

I really hope both the men's and women's teams win gold in curling! I would love to work at a venue that we win at.

I caught the hockey game last night during my dinner break, and that was so intense!

That isneat. I curled too, but that was a long time ago. I curled in a mixed league and the mens league. But I didn't curl in the Super league where Kevin Martin was.

Do you have a picture of yourself with your uniform and id pass?

I was a volunteerdriver in the 1983 Summer Universiade in Edmonton. I got to drive VIPs and different teams around the city. I even took the Romania Gymnastics Womens team to West Edmonton Mall for the afternoon. The highlight at the gameswas, I attended the Gala Ball where Prince Charles and Lady Dianna appeared. Tragicmarred the games too,adiver struck his head on the platform during his dive and he passed away.

That is so cool!

My brother is going to Vancouver this weekend to watch one of the Hockey games. Not sure which one he got tickets to but i'm jealous none the less! Hopefully he will bring me back something neat from the Olympics

Downtown Vancouver is just crazy! So many people. My buses had to be re-routed last night because the streets where so full of people they could not drive them and the streets got shut down.

Vancouver loves hockey. Your brother should have a wonderful time a the game. I believe there is a Canada vs USA game this Sunday. Maybe he ended up with tickets for that one?

I can take some pictures of me in my suit if you want, I look like a little smurf, lol.

Yeah I don't think he got tickets to the Canada v. US game. I asked him which teams and he didn't know. But i'm sure if it was the Canada vs. US he would have known that, lol.
