    A few hours until Opening Ceremonies... Will there be enough snow to stage these Olympics?
    Should truck all snow from east coast to Vancouver. Canada spent over a Billion on security certainly they can cover trucking costs.

    I think I read that it's only affecting one venue, the snowboarding. And they are trucking it in. I'm sure they'll figure it out.

    Only 4 more days!

    Tragic and scary that folks had been complaining about the safety of the track this week.

    Luger dies in Olympics practice crash

    (CNN) -- A luge slider from Georgia was killed Friday when he crashed during an Olympic training session hours before the opening ceremony of the Winter Games in Vancouver, British Columbia, the Georgian Embassy said.

    Nodar Kumaritashvili, 21, was in the final run of official training when he had a "serious crash" and was propelled off the track, according to the International Olympic Committee. Doctors were unable to revive him, the IOC said.

    "Our first thoughts are with the family, friends and colleagues of the athlete," IOC President Jacques Rogge said in a written statement. "The whole Olympic family is struck by this tragedy, which clearly casts a shadow over these Games."

    Kumaritashvili was scheduled to compete in the men's singles luge event, which begins Saturday.

    Wow...what a beautiful Opening Ceremony. Everything from the native dancers to the standing ovation for the Georgian team to Wayne Gretzky lighting the cauldron. The Canadians are ready to put on a good show; the question is, will the US show up for men's hockey?

    Smile

    I thought the opening ceremonies were just gorgeous last night! Vancouver did an amazing job. They obviously weren't as elaborate and over-the-top as the Beijing ones were, but I think they were better in their own way. More subtle and elegant, which is the way an Olympics should be.

    And wow ... I have a business trip planned to Vancouver for later in the year and seeing how incredibly beautiful that city is has got me really excited to go. Those opening shots were just jaw-dropping.

    You know, you have to love the way the world comes together during the Games. Did you guys hear the standing ovation of support the crowd gave to the Georgian team? That was so touching. Very sad what happened to that luger and I thought it was very impactful what Bob Costas pointed out ... can you imagine how tough it's going to be for other lugers to use that track now?

    Looking forward to the first full day of competition! Go USA!

    I guess I'm the only one who thought the opening ceremonies were just OK... Maybe it was just the mood I was in last night. I thought it was kind of embarrassing that the one post didn't work for the cauldron lighting. i do think that NBC is doing a great job of showcasing Canada, though.

    As far at that poor 21 year old luger... how tragic. I watched a report and this track is supposed to be the fastest in the world, and many experienced lugers have problems with it. The reporters were saying that inexperienced athletes really should not even be on the track. That sounds a little crazy to me; courses should be challenging, but not life threatening. I hope they cover that area in padding. The video was disturbing, to watch him fly over the track and hit the post, knowing that he was killed.
