Women’s Luge at the Olympics!

9

Hey all!

As you probably know by now, Vancouver is the host of the 2010 Winter Olympics right now! It’s half way through and it’s been pretty amazing so far. I’ve never seen Vancouver so busy. It’s a huge cliche, but the air is electric in this town. It’s really cool.

On Tuesday I went to Whistler with a friend of mine to watch the 3rd and 4th runs of the women’s luge. It was so cool to see an olympic event LIVE. A once in a lifetime opportunity, that’s for sure. I’m going to see women’s curling on friday, so that will be a twice in a lifetime opportunity :P For now, here’s a few photos from the luge.

Well, That about does it for the Luge event I went to. Tomorrow I’m going to see some curling action. It should be awesome. Canada’s undefeated so far, so I’m looking forward to seeing them play! Is that the right word… play? Do you PLAY curling?? Meh, whatever :P

Edit: I have been corrected. I will be seeing the Canadian women’s curling team WIN. :D

    Hey Nick,

    Nice shots – way to stop the action!

    If it’s not ‘play’…I think it would be ‘curl’ :)
