Living in an Olympic region is awesome. Welcome to the club, Sochi.

Who opened our games? It wasn't Harper, but is it always the head of state? Was it the Governor General?

What's the protocol there?

It always feels weird for them to say the games are officially open when they've had events for two days already. Why don't they just open them.......at the beginning?

In 1988? It was Jeanne Sauvé, the Governor General at the time.

In 2010, it was Michaëlle Jean. The Queen did Montreal.

(The lack of smiles on those pictures is kind of sad.)

EDIT: Here's some commentary.

They can't complete some of the events in only 17 days, especially events like skating and snowboarding, which I assume there is only one venue each.

Did they say that guy is a "cyber-sportsman"? What is that, like a video game player?
