Vancouver is a fantastic city. From what I understand some of the infrastructure improvements in the city getting ready for the Olympics are very good. I don’t see how we can blame Canada for the bad weather. If anything I think they should be capitalizing on how mild the weather can be down in the city during the winter months, that is a great selling point for a country so north and cold brrr. Media has commented on how organized they were and how wonderful Olympic village is. That in other countries they have arrived before the games and they are still painting the walls.
The luge accident is incredibly sad. It is difficult for me to think about it. I don’t know if it is Canada’s fault, or other officials who give specificiations for the construction of these things, and who did not heed the comments of some of the top competitors in the sport who said it was too fast, scary, during practice runs.
I’m American. USA USA USA! LOL.
