Goodbye, Games!
Whoa. I mean, I thought the Olympics would be fun — I just didn’t know they’d be so engrossing, you know? From the ceremonies to the events, and the ups and downs of winning and losing in lots of cases by mere milliseconds, I feel like I haven’t taken a breath in two weeks!
One thing’s for sure: we haven’t taken a breath to talk about much other than the Olympics here at the OWL blog, and it’s going to be good to get back to normal. For instance, how about the recent changes to our beloved blog? As you may have noticed, we added a few things — including the ability to write polls.
So, here’s what I’m thinking: why not cap off the Vancouver 2010 Winter Games using our brand-new poll functionality?
Look to the right to vote on your fave moment of the Olympics. If you have a different favourite than the ones listed, no worries! Just tell me all about it in the comments below. As usual, I can’t wait to hear what you have to say.

I wanted to say Joannie Rochette, but I also loved the Opening Ceremonies, so that’s the one I voted for.
I can’t wait until the next poll! I like polls.
Yay polls!!
Polls rock!
Great idea!

Actually my favorite moment was whn Scott Moir and Tessa Virtue did their amasing presentation.
That was definitely amazing, Mila! Thanks for pointing that one out. Anybody else have a fave I forgot to post?
YAY! NEW POLL! LOL
I had to say opening ceremonie! I wasn’t able to watch any of the games! (I really really REALLY wanted to watch the hockey thought…)
But WOW! that was so fast! I was like, what? it’s over already?
I really miss the Olympics. Now it’s back to normal, which includes the depressing news being on while I’m eating my breakfast.

I can’t believe it…There was all this hype and preparation, and excitement since who knows when..and now it’s just over!
I, like Katie(the author) really miss the the Olympics. You know what was BEST about the Games??? When our Canadian athletes walked away with gold medals and had their song played:
