I love the winter olympics. I just wish it didn't have to be so cold when they have them! :snowysmiley:

I'm sad about the Georgian luger who slammed into a steel pole, dying a short time later.

The Opening Ceremonies are about to begin!!!! :D

We are headed over to some lovely folks' home to watch the opening ceremonies.

I know! They said he was going about 90 mph before he hit. How devastating for his family, his team, the sport and the Olympics.

I wonder if there is a curse beginning because at the last Olympics, a civilian was killed, although it was not by an athlete. Methinks I'm a bit paranoid today. :|

Whoever wrote that intro owes me some tissue. That's all I have to say.

Andrew, Jr. 02-12-2010 10:14 PM

It was very creative. I loved the skiers, snowboarders coming down the mountain but are really just being held by wires, and such and the mountain has a video of different sports. Wayyy cool. :mountie:

The man who recited his poem about Canada...awesome!

I feel for the luger who was killed. I am surprised that the accident was shown in full. I cannot imagine being his mother, father, sibling, relative, or friend and seeing that in full. Horrible. Some things just should not be shown out of common curtesy. But that is just me.

I hate NBC..............hate them..........

Opening Ceremonies start at 730p my ass............I had to put up with an hour and a half of bullshit human interest blah blah blah before we got to see a taped version of the Opening Ceremonies. We are in the same time zone..........

I wish we could just get the events without all the commentary and stupid stories.........

I actually liked this Opening better than the Bejing opening............and guess what............as I am typing the taped version is still going on only now it's just the Olympic officials going blah blah blah........it's 1130p and the athletes and officials are really already in bed............

cara 02-13-2010 02:12 AM

Why did they delay it for viewing on NBC for 3 hours? I'm in the same time zone for goodness sake! I also agree about too much commentary. Just let us watch it, NBC.

Aside from the mechanical malfunction, I thought the entire ceremony was amazing. I wanna go play with lights now! :D

:stillheart:

WILDCAT 02-13-2010 03:27 AM

Yes, I thought it was at 7:30PM my time Toughy. The way they announced it fooled me!

*Oh well, LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!!!!:thumbsup:

Thanks Diva for this thread! I'm very happy there is one. (YOU... are a sports fan...? :cheesy: )


:thud:


(*Teasing... kind of.)

Linus 02-13-2010 07:12 AM

Well, if you don't like NBC, you could watch Canada's feed from CTV: http://www.ctvolympics.ca/tv-online-listings/index.html

I was trying to see if the CBC had a feed but can't find it. IMO, it sucks that CTV has it as they don't plan for the audience level online but perhaps that's just me.

cool clip about how each of the medals are an original design and a women's organization that was commissioned to design the victory bouquets

I love being Canadian, and I'm very proud of what a good job we did on the opening ceremonies last night :thumbsup:

I missed the ceremonies last night and noticed on CBC's website that the national anthem was done differently. A lot of comments suggested it was "awful". Was it that bad?

Leigh 02-13-2010 09:41 AM

I wouldnt say it was bad, though I guess everyone has their own opinion of how it was done ............. I had no complaints about how the anthem was sung :)
