Best of the ones posted is Athens...a little quicker then the others, plus more actual athletes not "dummy" athletes or abstract stuff.

Plus the grunting they through in there reminded me of playing Age of Empires way back when...

"I Believe" was probably good for Vancouver after all was said and done, given the leadup to the Games, with Donald Sutherland voiceovers, and the theme being the hope for the "first Canadian gold on home soil" hype. But as a one off...should've went with something different for a non Canadian games.

But, glad its gone...CBC will probably need some help pulling this off, but CTV used more then one broadcaster to do other events that CBC used to do themselves, so as long as the online portion is there for CBC, they should be able to use International feeds...just a matter of what alternate channels they can use that reaches everyone in Canada.
