DAY 1 OLYMPIC SCHEDULE

The ceremony was nicely done. I felt the Parade of Nations was way too long, but nonetheless thats the most important part imo.   I will say the departure from the stadium was a complete cluster fuck. I have never seen a worse transportation situation at a sporting event and it cost well over $200 to just get back to my hotel.

I think it's even worse...

French Alps is likely to be just as spread around?  

Some fake fans did, indeed. Whatever one's opinion on the country, just don't cheer if you don't like it, don't be pathetic and boo the athletes.

Pfeifer has a very high chance of Gold in Women's skeleton, won the test event in November on the Olympic track and finished 2nd in the overall World Cup standings.

A chance to make history with our first ever individual ski jumping Olympic medal!    Go Abi, go! 

There was a plus side though. Likely a record of athletes attended the ceremony (130 french athletes over 162 pe). As we are not going back to more centralized winter games anytime soon, people will need to figure out smarter way of doing things the next times. You can't just have one hour and half of stargate camera cuts.

I don't know if this was mentioned before, but the song that was played during the 1960s portion of the Traveling Through Time in the OC was this:   Adriano Celentano wanted to prove that anything that sounded English would do well on the Italian charts. He was proven right when this song became incredibly popular. We studied this song when I studied for my Masters in Applied Linguistics. Honestly, it's a jam regardless of nonsensical language. *There's actually a way better video in black and white with dancers that's superior to this, but I can't find it right now.        Edit:   Here is the better video, but it starts at 2:14. Absolute jam.     

First snowboard final 😃
