As someone that went to Vancouver to take in events, I think VANOC certainly deserves some credit. When I was there, the Skytrain worked like a dream, the venues (Richmond, UBC, Curling) were great and easy to get to, and there was always a helpful volunteer around to answer questions. Cypress was indeed a disaster, but then again, Mt Allan wasn't exactly a rousing success either.
Now, hopefully the trick magnesium cauldron won't turn into the eternal flame... (/has a vision of Gretzky unceremoniously dousing the flame with a CO2 extinguisher)
