Looking Forward To The 2010 Winter Olympics

In less than 2 weeks, the 2010 Winter Olymbics will commence. I can hardly wait! I'll be glued to the TV for the figure skating events which promises to be quite exciting, especially in the Ice Dancing where an American pair will try for the first gold medal ever for a U.S. team. Snowboarding makes its first Olympic appearance, and I watched the qualifying heats, and this sport is quite amazing to watch. Skiing is always a fan favorite, but Vancouver has had a shortage of snow this season, and they may have to truck tons of the stuff in. Well, as I said I can't wait-LET THE GAMES BEGIN!
