USA athletes walking in!

 

[hardcorestitch]

USA! USA! USA!

 

[Disneefun]

Well, at least the USA wasn't booed. I wasn't sure that we'd be welcomed all that warmly.

Can’t be too sure… NBC does have the capability to drown out crowd noise, including boos…

like many of us I enjoy figure skating. Oddly, for me, 4 years ago I found myself enjoying the biathalon

They were booed and cheered. I heard both on the NBC broadcast.

I love my country (Canada), but from what I've seen, we will have the ugliest uniforms at these games.

I wish they would go back to Roots - or anyone else! I think Canadian Tire/Mark's Work Wearhouse could do better than the Lululemon stuff ;-p

My husband was a torch bearer in 2010 and we now have a tradition of always watching the Olympics with his torch.

I thought they were pretty bad but seeing the Germans were pretty bad as well.

The team got cheers, Vance got booed.

[Lesverts]

What was that rendition of il Canto degli Italiani? Its not a power ballad.
Coventry was really working hard on her received pronunciation. She was clearly suppressing her Zimbabwean accent.

so she has no connection. Odd they didn't use someone with a legitimate connection
