I have followed the Olympics for years but this past few days have been the most exciting I can remember in a long time.
Jennifer has always followed the figure skating religiously, but the competition between the USA and Russian Federation was incredible! Even though Lysacek won the highly deserved Gold Medal, Plushenko seemed to defy gravity as he floated through the air over the ice. Both of these athletes were incredible to watch!
As Plushenko went through the motions of the medal ceremony we felt his pain. He was such a hero to stand there in Silver position. We feel for you!
Watching Lysacek was no less exciting. As he received his high marks it seemed like he was working so hard to stay calm while the competition was getting his marks. Then when the numbers came, the near explosion was great as you could almost hear him think, "Wait is my math right?" Even his coach had to pause to run the numbers. We celebrated that win, also!
Speaking of defying gravity, what about that Shaun White in the men's half pipe! Watching him hang in the air we all held our breath and I found my self pushing on the ottoman in the hopes of staying up there for just a moment longer. The thing I don't understand, being quite scared of heights, is how he stays so focused and STILL follows through with the incredible twists and turns. That would be a site to see some day! 2010 Olympics in Vancouver Events David Bailey Fun Date taken: Important Links: |

More articles Investing in Residential Condos
Residential condos are popular investments. Vancouver, which boasts one of Canada's most active condo markets, has seen as many as half the units in some new buildings sold to investors. That's an important statistic, but not great news if you're planning to rent a unit in that kind of situation. Investors who purchase a unit with the intention of renting it out want to know they have a reasonable hope of finding tenants, something that's more difficult to do when several landlords are competing for the same limited number of prospects. Vancouver Real Estate Is A New Leader in Investment Gains
Over the last 10 years Vancouver Real Estate has proven to be a solid investment for investors. This last year proved that the gains from the real estate market were a better choice over gold and silver. Even with the turbulence in the real estate market, the impressive numbers returned have not been released but speculation is that there are huge smiles on investors faces. Vancouver Real Estate Breaks Ground for Chinese Immigrants
Canada is a beautiful country with plenty of mountains, rivers, lakes, streams and land for everyone to enjoy. However, what keeps immigrants coming to Canada is the medical program offered and the chance to own some of the world's most beautiful real estate. They want to own their own dream home and some of the finest cities such as Vancouver, Montreal, Ottawa, Alberta and Toronto offers exclusive access to prime real estate. No Castles in Scotland
Before leaving Vancouver to travel as physiotherapist for the junior national field hockey team, many people wished me a good vacation. Vacation? Traveling with a team is hard work. The physiotherapist is responsible for the musculoskeletal health of the team, aiding to maximize their performance on the road. We spent three days in Edinburgh, and saw nothing but pastureland, shuttling between the turf field and dormitory-not a single castle! Then we were whisked off to Lilleshall National Sports Centre in England, a beautiful facility, but again, no castles! Retiring to Vancouver - Consider Retirement Homes in Vancouver, BC
Are you considering to retire on the West Coast of Canada? British Columbia is an obvious choice for many retirees as it offers mild climate, beautiful nature and variety of outdoor activities that adults can enjoy in their spare time. Vancouver, British Columbia is one of favorite cities to retire for baby boomers. W:4,S:10 |
