1 day to go! Here was the standing four years ago in Turin, Italy: Rank Nation Gold Silver Bronze Total 1 Germany (GER) 11 12 6 29 2 United States (USA) 9 9 7 25 3 Austria (AUT) 9 7 7 23 4 Russia (RUS) 8 6 8 22 5 Canada (CAN) 7 10 7 24 6 Sweden (SWE) 7 2 5 14 7 South Korea (KOR) 6 3 2 11 8 Switzerland (SUI) 5 4 5 14 9 Italy (ITA) 5 0 6 11 10 France (FRA) 3 2 4 9 10 Netherlands (NED) 3 2 4 9 The battle between the top 5 nations will be fierce once again, but with Canada as the host, I'd give them an advantage. |

I'm rooting for: Shaun White Rachel Flatt Jeremy Abbott Johnny Weir Evan Lysacek Bebin/Augusto Shen/Zhao Mike Ando That's pretty much it. Course, I hope the US Ski team and the rest of the snowboard team do well. I like watching the luge, bobsled and most of the skiing events too. Maybe some curling too. |

I'm very excited about the upcoming 16 days, and CTV has 22.5 hours of coverage daily so I think I'll be prepared and its going to be on about 7 other networks too. Other than the Canadian contingent, I'm rooting for Shen/Zhao to win gold but they'll face stiff competition from the Germans. Looking forward to Brian Williams on CTV, not looking forward to Michael Landsberg or Rod Black. |

I'm rooting for that as well, though I should have been rooting for the Cauldron to actually work. That'd been nice too. |

You'd think they'd have tested out a hydraulic system before the actual ceremony. Guess not. |

yeah all they do is smoke pot and drink on the west coast of Canada and then go ranting about how they love the environment. |

I didn't enjoy the opening singer of Oh Canada. They could have had Celine Dion or Shania Twain do that. I liked the presentation of the aboriginal peoples. I enjoyed the graphics projected onto the surface during the event. The whales, the leaves, the water and such. I did not get all the tap dancing and fiddle playing. I enjoyed the poem by some youtube guy. I didn't get the guy flying in the air with the tall grass below him. The final lighting of the torch was a disappointment. |

I didn't get to see the fail, I had switched over to the Pitt/WVU game that just didn't want to end. |

I really don't care about these Olympics at all. Winter Olympics always held a lesser interest to me, but this time there's no interest at all. Oh yeah, the opening ceremony sucked. |
