I think alot of it has been overblown because it's in Canada in the age of the Internet and social media. Members of the new York times as well as foreign athletes have been all over the Vancouver radio waves, all praising the games. The new york times writer even wondered why people were being so hard on Vancouver.
A coach of one of the Dutch speed skating team wad Also on the radio today saying the problems at the oval ate way overblown, and that the ice is some of the best in the world, and the athletes competing there are saying great things about it. And besides fog and dome rain on the second night , the actual courses at cypress have been good.
