The 20th Winter Olympics


Today is Day 1 of the Torino 2006 Olympics. This is my tribute to all of the athletes who are so lucky to compete in these games. OK I don't have an Olympic medal of my own, but if you don't look that closely you can't really tell.

The opening celebrations were so much fun to watch! I especially loved the brave rollerbladers with the flames coming out of their heads. The parade of nations was good too, but I fell asleep after Canada marched in. Did you know that Canada has 196 athletes competing? That's a lot of people! So I hope we will have a good chance of bringing home a lot of medals.

Even though I am an English bulldog and I have a Japanese name, I am still 100% Canadian. So I'm cheering for my Canadian Team. Go Canada!!

Just a quick update: Congratulations to Jennifer Heil for winning Canada's first gold medal of the 2006 games in women's moguls!! Way to go!

Funny dog! I have a dog tribute to the Winter games, too, on my Freaks of Nature blog.
