The games are hosted in CANADA this year! I'm actually kind of surprised there isn't a thread yet (unless I really missed it).

 

But the Torch just made it's way through Toronto today, and through my community outside of Toronto.

 

I saw the torch bearers running today, and saw them exchange the torch as well. It was pretty cool :) I'm really glad I managed to see it, especially since it's the first time in my lifetime that I'm able to see it.

 

Did anyone else see it in Canada yet?

i think i know about this event. my friends are so excited to watch it.

Twin, you still post here? :stunned:

absolutely psyched for the olympics. It also means a big influx of beginners for my curling club which is struggling right now.

GOOO CANADA!!!! im so pumped!!

i saw the torch today too! it was very cool!

i really hope we win some medals seeing as the last two times we hosted we didn't (embarrassing :P)

GOO LUCK CANADA!!!! :D

Twin, you still post here? :stunned:

 

Once in a while:P Every few months or so I'll make a few posts.

 

I actually just found out that my cousin was a torch bearer! I think he was actually standing in for someone, I don't even know how he managed it. But the pictures were pretty cool.

 

Yeah I know! We definately need to win something... apparently a lot of athletes have been getting injured though. Not just Canadian ones though.:stunned:

I looooooooooove winter sports! Too bad I live in a tropical country. :dozey:

 

I love watching luge, bobsleigh and curling. And ski jumping too!

 

I'm looking forward for a better games than Torino 2006 and Salt Lake City 2002! :nice:

yayyy.....I must admit I prefer the winter games to the summer games...

...what's it with us Malaysians & a love for winter sports? hahaha :P

yeah! me too! :D

I wish we had winter :disappointed:

I hope we´ll meet Canada in hockey final cup ... and we´ll win...of course :P

I'll be watching! I'm a huge alpine skiing fan!:D

I wish we had winter :disappointed:

 

maybe in a few hundred years when the weather goes topsy turvy, we might... :disappointed:

 

...but in the meantime, pls support our Malaysian national ice hockey team!!! :D

(tho they are only actively competing regionally, as far as i know)

Prorogued. :tongue: The whole world gets to see how incompetent our government is just in time for the Olympics! :bomb:

I prefer the Winter Olympics over the Summer Olympics by a mile. I like figure skating and it's disappointing to know that Jeffrey Buttle of Canada is not participating. He was a good skater and very enjoyable to watch. So for the men's figure skating, it could go back to Pluskenko of Russia, who I feel lacks any artistry and does just jumps and the judges give it to him (they did at the last Olympics). As for the ladies' event, I say Yu Na Kim of South Korea has that, she's on fire and she's quite good. For the pair's event, I say it will come down to the German team (whose name I can not spell) and Shen and Zhao of China. I don't care for the dance competition.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STOKED!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm gonna be there and I have a lot of friends competing. this is a really exciting time

GO CANADA

is Eddie the Eagle still in it?

 

haha nope eddie the eagle won't be in it. but he did come to visit again. I bet he'll be here to see the jumping competition

As long as he's only there to watch.:rolleyes:

Anyway, owing to his lack of aerial ability, he should really have been called Eddie The Duck.:P

:lol:indeed. mind you, ducks can still fly. maybe eddie the chicken?

but he wasn't scared :thinking:

eddie the turkey. that's more fitting.

Yup. He certainly was a "turkey".:P

I'm so excited! I love the olympics! Only 9 days...
