I think the NBC coverage is better, but I can't get myself to watch an American channel for this. Nothing against Americans, but I would rather get the hype of holding the event in Canada and interviews with Canadian athletes rather than the over the top American annoyingness.

This Silverlight streaming thingy on CTVolympics.ca is really nice. Very good quality.

The video feature they just showed on TSN was actually pretty well done.

Was kinda hoping they'd boo Calgary, more reasons to hate Vancouver would be appreciated.

Seeing Canada on display for the world here is simply fantastic. I loved the big cheer for Calgary 88 too. Fantastic stuff so far

Ya - actually enjoying it, kinda surprised.

That said......God I hate having to hear everything in French followed by English. We're "Bilingual" I know, but really.....

The snowboarder was really cheesy, but still an interesting idea.....diggin' it.

I don't agree with altered versions of "Oh Canada". Just sing the anthem properly, it's not a remix.

and already the opening is pissing me off with this terrible anthem.

What's wrong with Oh Canada sung normally? It really is quite a beautiful anthem without being raped by artistic interpretation
