- Hello my dear! Isn't this the wrong date? "Vancouver 2010 OLYMPICS is February 28, 2010" ? I'm thinking it started already ... but I could be wrong.

- Thanks for the massive compilation of all things Olympic! I just dropped my friends off for lunch at Benny's in Ann Arbor, and it was the busiest I've ever seen -- probably because it was mentioned in the media as Michael Phelps' breakfast restaurant while he was training. Just another example of the impact of the Olympics on everyone.

- Congratulations on Lens of the Day!
Picking a favorite event is difficult. I wish that they would show all of the various sports on TV and broadcast the efforts of the athletes from all countries. It seems that in the past the emphasis was more international. Now it's all about the US teams.
I love the way you covered all aspects of the Olympic medals. You really know how to put a lens together.

Beijing Olympics 2008
One World, One Dream. Beijing welcomed the world with a spectacular opening ceremony!
The Games of the XXIX Olympiad were held in Beijing August 8, 2008 with the opening ceremony taking place at 8 p.m. (08-08-08-08 - the number 8 is associated with prosperity in Chinese culture).
On 13 July 2001 at the 112th IOC Session in Moscow, Beijing was elected the Host City for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad in 2008. The vote followed in line with the recommendation of the IOC Evaluation Commission that "a Beijing Games would leave a unique legacy to China and to sports. The Commission is confident that Beijing could organise an excellent Games".
