It will be interesting to see how Vancouver represents itself in 2010. My prediction is that the games will be flawlessly run, professional, clean, elegant, but lacking the sense of fun and community that characterized the 88 games.
Also, there will be one or two incidents of weird protest actions and one or two unfortunate incidents of violence during the games - people on the street getting hurt, not athletes. And if Canada looses in the gold medal game there will be a riot and our nation will look like a bunch of chunderheads.
