for the outdoor events i can see the point in having the medals awarded later (bigger crowds, possible weather issues, etc), but it just looks very weird not seeing the speed skaters skate around the oval with their medals. that was one of the best parts of '06, seeing Clara Hughes skate the oval with her gold medal and flag draped around her neck if the men's hockey teams don't get their medals right after the gold medal game, that will be ######ed
