Oh, and the opening ceremony was impressive, but not like China at all. China is much better.
EDIT: antonis, STFU. I agree with justis76, you wanker. (I like British terms)
Also, we asked for less snow, but not at THIS time. It's over 10C at Vancouver, right? Because they need our weather and Winterpeg Frostbiters want to rather practice here than in Vancouver. Wait, they are the Frostbiters or the Killers? I don't remember.
EDIT2: London gets the next Olympics (2012), Сочи got 2014, Rio got 2016 and the following years are being decided- 2018, 2020, 2022, 2024, and 2028. For 2018, it's being chosen between Annecy, Munich, and PyeongChang. I vote Munich.

So far Antonis' prediction isn't very accurate. Ireland wasn't on the top five, and the US is currently at 1st place. I don't remember the other top teams, but I know France is tied with Canada.

Meh. I'm neither here nor there with the Winter Olympics. I watched a bit of it last night but it's no where near as incredible or exciting as the proper Summer Olympics.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!!!!!!
The Canadian Women's Hockey team has won the gold for our national sport, hockey!
We beat the American team 2-0. I find this hilarious, because in the men's hockey game earlier this week, America beat Canada (we're not out of it yet, though!) by 2 points. It seems that Canada finally made up for those two points. Oh, and won a gold medal while they're at it.
That being said, looking at the big picture, the USA is completely dominating the Olympics, as is to be expected.
Oh boy oh boy oh boy!

YOU BETTER TAKE BACK YOUR REMARKS ABOUT CURLING RIGHT NOW, OR ELSE I'LL PERSONALLY TAKE A TRIP DOWN TO CALIFORNIA, OR CAROLINA, OR WHEREVER YOU LIVE, AND I WILL MESS YOU UP. AND WHEN I'M FINISHED WITH YOU, I'M GONNA DIP YOU IN A VAT OF MAPLE SYRUP TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY. THEN FEED YOUR REMAINS TO A MOOSE.
...Woops, looks like I got a bit carried away too. But seriously, don't diss up curling. It's kind of a big deal up in Canada, supposedly.

I had actually never heard of it before these events. I admit, it looks extremely complex. How DO they move that stone?...
By the way, who won for it?

And there isn't any stones, just over-sized pucks as far as I know. Though I can't claim to be an expert on curling.

I did some research and it turns out that they're actually made from a special stone that only comes from Scotland.
I think I'll watch the curling championships. I am now intrigued.

Anyways, did anyone watch the women's figure skating tonight?? Holy crap, how amazing were those last four skaters!? Especially Kim Yuna. I was rooting for her the whole time and oh my god, she was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. From her performance, right down to her dress; everything about her was stunning. I was getting teary eyed from watching her!!

haha, i didn't watch it, but i think i have heard about Yuna Kim before. i guess she must be pretty good then
are you Korean ? (cuz 1 Yuna Kim is Korean right ? you support her, and so it would make sense supporting your own county o Yuna Kim, and 2, your signature is Super Junior
whoooot !! =D and they're all korean exept for Hankyung, he's Chinees =P)

But anyway, all that really matters is that we beat Sweden! Gå Northug! (Kidding, I'm not that patriotic. I was happy when Björn Ferry won earlier.)

I'm not big on figure skating, but I saw the figure skating for the 1st place & third (Canadian! Woot!) place skaters.
Also, good news YG. Apparently the curling women's championship game is tonight. Canada versus...Finland? Switzerland? Sweden?
I can't remember, it was one of those countries.

wtf no it's not?
by the way, if this helps clear up anything from earlier: calling canada "snowy" doesn't apply what so ever to vancouver. if it snows 2 inches here the entire city shuts down. our having to import snow should be of no big surprise; it's definitely not a symptom of global warming. : ) the other day a news program had to explain that it was, in fact, winter here.
also: i hate the olympics.

I live in Vancouver, so I was actually surprised how much stuff people can participate in without spending any money. I think being forced to go downtown like that to check out all the venues really got me hyped for the Olympics and that's quite a feat because usually I don't watch the Olympic events at all except for maybe ice dancing. I'm really falling in love with the mascots too, they're everywhere.
Also, did everyone see this fail article?

Anyway, I know it's late, but W00T Austalia got gold in women's aerials!
EDIT: Everyone in Australia who's interested in the Olympics is going on about how it's our best Win-Pics ever. I can't help but have a giggle at that, I mean look at our standing!
