Pretty awesome event that was, 3 Canadians in the top 5. Some really exciting runs and top performances from all the Mogul Skiers. The pressure is now off our athletes, so I hope they all do their best. Glad the french kid could do that on the 2nd day and for his brother, very touching story.
Now, if CTV weren't so fucking painful with their broadcast, what is that shit song "Believe" they keep playing? So awful. Some of the on-air personality's are cringe worthy too. It's not about you, you cunts, so stop acting like anyone cares about your opinions.

Apparently the guy he beat is some type of spyware / malware peddler... http://blogs.zdnet.com/Spyware/?… as well as leaving Canada to compete for Australia because our laws frowned on what he was doing on the internet.

People are complaining about the lack of French in the opening ceremonies and the focus on Aboriginals rather than Aboriginals + the multiculturalism that exists today.
The people complaining about the French are nuts (they opened by speaking French first (!) and continued speaking it every now and then), but I do think they focused a little too much on the Aboriginals and less on what makes Canada great today. Which is a mix of everything. It needed to be more balanced.
P.S. We're not completely bilingual. It only exists in some parts of the country.
- Too much complaining from Canadians, haha. Even medal winners are not too happy about getting silver & bronze.juhls
- French and English are the official languages of the Olympics that is why they are spokeniheartfun
- I know, but some French people here are complaining there wasn't enough. I think there was.juhls
- Because there's so many Francophones in BC. Fuck off! (not you, Juhls, the complaints)Andrew_D
- Aboriginal tribes dancing to the Adams & Fertado duet was an embarrassment.inkpink
- rest of opening ceremonies was nice... oh.. except for the kilts and fiddles. *cringe.inkpink

Men's DH on now, Bode Miller just threw down the top time, Canada's Erik Guay just clocked the second fastest time. These dudes are going scary fast.

I really miss the CBC's campy Olympic coverage. I hope they do a decent job of covering men's hockey.
- inkpink0
yup CTV coverage sucks. Feels like Canadians trying to do it like American networks.
They had those morons from the MTV Aftershow doing studio interviews on the weekend. WTF?
- yikes. the coverage on nbc has actually been pretty good, though I might just hate bob costas even more than Colbert.ismith
- The one clown is Eugene Levy's son, he had a few classes with my GF at Ryerson.Andrew_D
- No clue who the twatty redhead is, but I hate her face.Andrew_D
- yeah pretty hard to mistake that guy for anyone but a Levy. They talk gossip about The Hills on MTV.inkpink
