I saw the video of the Luger...horrible, just horrible...Apparently, they are having snow issues, there is not enough of it (not good for the Winter games).

I loved the way they used that 'glitch' in the closing ceremony however with the clown repairman!

Great job Canada. Ya put on a show.

On behalf of *Canada* I will say thanks very much Websters! I thought that they managed to pull off a great Olympics, in spite of some of the challenges they faced!

I loved how they used the "glitch" in the closing ceremonies as well. It worked out great!

Yes, it did. It sort of gave some closure to the issue didn't it. LOL

What was the closing glitch? I hadn't heard about that one.

Well there wasn't a glitch in the closing ceremonies, but they just started out with the problem where the one leg of the cauldron would not rise, and had a Marcel Marceau type clown repairing it. It was actually the door that would not open so that the structure could come out in the opening ceremonies.
