Initial Impressions - Vancouver - Ehhh….
By gregchad ~ February 16th, 2010 @ 10:48 am
So, my initial impressions of Vancouver 2010 can be summed up in one word - underwhelmed.
From the death of the Georgian Luger (and the horrible PR that followed), to the torch lighting malfunction, the problems associated with Vancouver’s weather, the fact that it’s Canada, the complete screw up of the long track speed skating, and now even more weather delays - I am left completely underwhelmed by the first few days of the event.
The competition, on the otherhand, has been exciting and fun to watch - I can’t even find a way to blame Canada for that one!

I agree that Vancouver has been a bit of a disappointment, eh? There’s more snow in DC than Whistler!!! But I love Canadians so am really rooting for them to do well.
I am amazed by how well the Americans are doing. Can this continue?
Keep up the great coverage and analysis! And I agree, by the way, about the German clown skaters. They were great.
