Leave a comment if you have a favorite Opening Ceremony moment. Remember when Muhammad Ali lit the cauldron at the 1996 Opening Ceremony in Atlanta?
Or in the 1992 Barcelona Games when Paralympic archer Antonio Rebollo lit the cauldron by shooting a burning arrow towards the cauldron?
Or in the 2002 Salt Lake City Games when the USA Hockey team from 1980 lit the torch together?
I can’t wait to see what they do in Vancouver.
The Vancouver Olympic Games in 2010
The countdown has begun for the 2010 Olympic games in Vancouver, Canada. I always look forward to the moment when the Olympics start again. The Beijing Olympics have just finished and I am already awaiting the Vancouver Games. I love to watch every possible minute of the coverage, from the Opening Ceremony to the Closing Ceremony.
I’m always thrilled by the passions of the spectators and the skill of the athletes at the games. I can just imagine what it would mean to each athlete to be at the Olympic games. They dedicate their lives to their sport, so to be recognized world wide as being one of the best in your sport would be an amazing thing indeed. And then the patriotism involved in winning a gold metal for your country would be overwhelming.
I wish I was an Olympic athelete.
