I have now decided that my fave part of the Olympics is being part of such an international crowd. Today in Whistler there were people wearing the colours of so many countries. It's kind of the sporting UN..
And watched Jon Montgomery win gold, in a bar about 500 m from the Whistler Sliding Centre. And had a beer with a friend who will compete in the Paralympics next month. I LOVE THE OLYMPICS!!
Earlier this week at a curling match between Canada and Japan, the Japanese fans started chanting, "Nippon. Nippon!" And we started a chanting war, so it was: "Nippon!" "Canada!!" "Nippon!!!" "Canada!!!!" "NIPPON!!!!" "CANADA!!!!!!!!!!" the whole arena joined in, with foot stomping and flag waving. It was fantastic!
