Vancouver Games


Poland’s Justyna Kowalczyk wins Gold Medal in 30K cross-country

Congrats to British Columbia and Canada on a great Winter Olympics. Makes me want to go there and visit. And Canada's Olympic team started out slowly, but really came on, winning the most Gold of any country.

Sure would be nice to go back to London for the Summer Games  in 2012. We were there Christmas 2008 and had a wonderful time.

Pretty amazing story about some nasty words between Greece and Germany. All European countries are equal. However, some are more equal than others.
