I have seen athletes from all over the globe. I really enjoyed seeing Jon Montgomery of Russell, Manitoba after his Gold medal win. He stayed in the Village Square quite late into the evening signing autographs and chatting to fans.
The fans from Switzerland are very enthusiastic and chant as much as we do. The large bells they ring can be heard all over Olympic venues, but those Norwegian pants are cool. I don’t really have a favorite athlete but I do admire the dedication and commitment of the individuals who strive to participate in the games. They are focused and have put their best effort forward. I encourage each of you to follow the athlete’s example.
I look forward to seeing the Ness Canada Day celebration pictures later in the week!

Hello from 6-13 at Lincoln Middle School. We are keeping track of all the medals won and placing them on a world map. We hope to take a picture and send it to Mr. McKiel tomorrow.

Mr. Weston,
ReplyDeleteThank you for including some pictures of the games. Which mascot of the 2010 games is your favourite? Are you excited to watch the men's Canada vs. Germany game tonight and the women's final Canada vs. USA? What is the best part about volunteering at the Games?
Thanks again for keeping us in the loop!
Eh, O'Canada Go!
