ONE WEEK LEFT
Posted on February 20, 2010
It’s hard to believe the games are into their final week. While there has been considerable criticism of the television coverage, the consortium is improving. We have been treated to tastes of everything in the sports spectrum. The agony of defeat, Melissa Hollingsworth in the women’s skeleton and her heartbreak at finishing fifth, and the thrill of victory. The absolute unadulterated joy of John Montgomery’s gold medal in men’s skeleton. The village of Whistler and the city of Vancouver have embraced the games wholeheartedly. Trust me, once the games are over they will never be the same. The communities will change forever with a new sense of pride in what they have accomplished. Just ask Calgary. The Alberta city is still basking in the afterglow of the 1988 games. It’s hard to describe, but the games do that.
As for the Aboriginals and their coverage, they are flying high and enjoying every minute of it. I can feel their confidence and pride growing with every event. Seven more days, and so much more to accomplish.
