I shall be in Ontario during this period.

If it weren't so insanely expensive I would have gone back to Whistler. Went there a few years ago, fantastic.

Re: Vancouver XXI Olympic Winter Games
I enjoy the Winter Olympics as much as the Summer Olympics. So many good sports to watch, bobsleigh, ski jumping, luge, skeleton, downhill skiing, slalom skiing etc. I'll be glued to the TV during the games!

Don't know whether you watch any of the Winter sports action on Eurosport, but my favourite ski jumper Janne Ahonen (Finland) recently returned to the sport after retiring at the end of 2008.

They say that if a ski jumping athlete takes time out from the sport, it is very difficult indeed to return to form. However (like in all things) there can be exceptions - this one especially as he very nearly (coming 2nd) won the recent Four Hills championship - which would have been the sixth time - an all time record, which he already holds

Methinks the Winter Olympics may be the driver for Ahonen's return to the sport as he (like all the others) craves the gold medal - well just have to wait and see.

I have a great deal of respect for all winter sports athletes, as not only do they have to be incredibly fit, but extremely skilled as well, especially as in many cases their lives depend upon it.

Spiffing stuff!

Si thee

I read that he had been injured, but not died .

Is this a bad omen?

Re: Vancouver XXI Olympic Winter Games
Having watched the video of the luge crash and listened to reports of how dangerous other athletes feel the track is and also hearing how the Canadians have limited practice sessions I can see no other option but to cancel all events due to take place on the track unless they are able to alter it in time.

A disgrace that this was allowed to happen - the crash was horrendous.

Re: Vancouver XXI Olympic Winter Games
Wow. I just watched two hours of speed skating on the Beeb. Fantastic!

I have to say that despite me being somewhat anal, I thought the commentary was quite good. Hugh Porter blundered his way through, getting all sorts of facts wrong, but Wilf O'reilly was excellent, showing great technical and historical knowledge.

Live coverage of speed skating on the Beeb. Long may it continue

Oh, Sven Kramer storms to the gold in 6:14.6. Big hats off to Seung-Hoon Lee for becoming the first Korean medalist in the longer distances.
