During the two weeks of the Olympic Games, we flew the flags of Canada and British Columbia. We enjoyed watching many of the events, and stayed up later than usual every night to see the races and other competitons. Racing down mountains on skis, ski jumping, bobsleding, half pipe, luge, etc. kept us on pins and needles, hoping there were no mishaps. All the figure skating, and hockey games were of interest, too, and we watched a number of Curling contests, and began to understand the rules of the game. Of course, we wanted the US Men and Womens's hockey teams to win the gold, but were still very pleased with their success.
