Canada is the first Host Country, AND the first Country to win, 14 GOLD MEDALS during a Winter Olympics!!!!!!

As always, the US, Germany and Norway took many medals.

Good on every Competitor; it was a great 2 weeks and I enjoyed having everyone here!!!

Now I can park at work again. HEHE

 

Doesn't anyone care about the Olympics?

 

Nickelback just played an AWESOME song live. Metallica couldn't play live @ New Years.
Gotta love live music

 

Congrats to Canada on their hockey win. They won the game that mattered more of the two.

The US had some amazing medals, like bobsledding and the nordic stuff, and won the most medals of any country ever. Thanks to Canada for being such a wonderful host!

 

theres a winter olympics?

 

I watched whenever I could. I like the Olympics!! Missed the Bobsled & Luge-- 2 of my faves-- but saw some ski jumping....only saw that guy fall on the old Wide World of Sports when they used to say..."the thrill of victory...and the agony of defeat"...until a few days ago!!! Never knew Shatner was from Canada!!

 

Well, it was kind of the Spring Olympics this year....

 

LOL yeah not much snow in Vancouver that's for sure... USA had a great hockey team as well as Canada it really was down to the last bit with the men's hockey! Congrats to both great countries for a terrific gold medal game!

Laters!

 

whats a canada?
jk, crazy that luge dude or whatever died!
nice hosts this year! a?

 

Since this isnt a 3rd gen related thread it'll be closed soon anyway... or notlol. Seems to depend on who the mods like.

 

Yeah that was utter stupidity from the organizers!! Shame on the guys who build a track with steal beams right beside the track! I hope someone gets in big trouble for that one..

 

It's a Regional thread, so I thought it'd be OK to put it here ( I hope it was )

 

Well, the mod for this regional section is a real a hole... but I think you'll be ok

The steel beams where nuts being that close to the exit, however I don't think they expected anyone to be leaving the track to run into those beams.

 

AmorgetRS, you kill me...thanks

So a question..
Is it OK to post miscellaneous stuff under Regional? Or should it mostly be Auto oriented?

Thanks in advance for the pass and the info.

 

It should mostly be auto related, however when it is something related to the region like the Olympics were this year, I give more leeway. Anything that is controversial (guns, religion, tax, you get the picture) isn't going to be allowed.

 

OK
Thanks for your reply
I admit I was a bit fired-up about the whole Olympics thing and wanted to 'brag' and share.
Thanks for letting me have a say and letting all others add their 2 bits. It was a great Winter Olympics, wasn't it.
I will not argue the fact the the U.S. kicked our buts.
I may be wrong in my recollections but I think...
The U.S. had 212 Athletes and Canada had 205.
Canada only won 26 and the U.S won 37

On a final note...
I watched a news report from Russia, as I am sure you have all seen/heard by now..
The Russian President stated that he wants letters of resignation from all peoples responsible for the failures of the athletes @ the 2010 Olympics, and if they don't resign, they will help them do so.
Wow, thankfully I was born here.

 

Yeah, the Russia stuff is like Cold War Soviet era stuff! It sounds like heads will roll over there... maybe literally.
