Just watching the ski-jumping as I type - man, those guys are mad. Who first thought of that as a sport? ("I know, if I ski down this really steep hill and then up that little incline, I could probably fly a hundred metres or so"!) If I'd suggested that my parents would have had me committed!
Do love the Winter Olympics though - always tremendous to watch great sportsmen and women at their peak. Have to say that the GB team probably won't win much though - they never do; apparently we're aiming to equal or beat our best ever performance at the Winter Olympics. That's 3 medals (not Golds, just medals). That's about the same as the number the USA, Germany and Norway will win in the first 20 minutes or so of the competition.
Finally, have to agree about how great Vancouver is to visit. My brother emigrated there a couple of years ago and we visited last year for the first time. Loved it! We're there again in September this year for his wedding so looking forward to that.
