That's really cool. What events are you specificlaly planning on seeing?

Here's our itinerary on TripIt: http://www.tripit.com/trip/public/id/71EC5A907D71

We have tickets for lots of freestyle and moguls skiing, snowboarding and hockey. Depending on how things are actually run when we get there, we may try for some day-of-event tickets to other events (speed skating, etc). The longer ski events are several hours north at Whistler, so we're not going to any of those.

There's an iPhone app for the Winter Olympics. http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/new...-app-released/

I can't wait to see the NHL exhibition game Olympic hockey game between USA and Canada on Feb 21st.

How sad.

Olympic Luge participant dies in a practice run crash.

How sad :(
-----------

The Anaheim Ducks lead the NHL in the number of Olympians.

That's just going to make it suck more if we don't make the playoffs.

I'm guessing that pole will now be padded.

I haven't clicked play, but this page has video of the crash (as well as lots of quotes from people pretty much predicting that this track would eventually kill someone).

Between that and the lack of snow/abundance of rain, they're off to a stellar start up in B.C.

Following some of the links off GD's link, I ran across this tidbit:

Canada Protects Home Advantage at Olympics

The same is true at the sliding center. Only Canadian sliders have had access for training on what is generally regarded as the most difficult track in the sport. You have to think that played a role in today's tragic death.
