orangeman 1,353 Posted July 23, 2021 #65 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I had the pleasure of working with a former Olympian last year and I got to grill him over his experience (coincidentally he competed in Vancouver). He said walking into the stadium was the highlight for him. He said you treat the Olympic competition like any other, but walking in under the lights and fanfare, he said it was other-worldly. I was happy to hear that because it's my favourite part of the of OC. mrv86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, China and Japan agreed to support each other’s OG so China will support Japan’s decision and will not offend Japan on purpose during the game. And glad to meet our Canadian friend living the same city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,575 Posted July 23, 2021 #68 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Oh, we can only remember the loved ones who aren't with us anymore due to the COVID pandemic. Shame, I had hoped we could also remember those we lost for different reasons...
