The 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics start this Friday!


As any good Canuck knows, the Winter Olympics are the important Olympics, and as such, want to see Canada rake in the medals, especially with the home advantage.

Now, if you are living in Portugal, the Winter Olympics rarely make the news, seeing as how winter sports are practically impossible here due to the good weather, and because Portugal has only one athlete in the Winter Olympics (Danny Silva, the only amateur athlete at the Games... that's determination!).

What is the best way to follow the Olympics in Portugal, if you don't have cable TV, you may ask?
Going to a pub is not an option, since with the time difference, they would be closed, and with the little interest in the winter games, they would probably have it on VH1 or SportTv.

Well, the internet of course!
The Official 2010 Vancouver Olympics website has a listing of on-line coverage. Very, very handy.

I recommend checking out the official website, you can follow Olympic news on Twitter, become a Facebook fan, see the schedules, etc.

The Opening Ceremony is set to start at 2:00AM on the 13th of February here in Portugal (6:00PM on the 12th in Vancouver), don't miss it!

  11. A large percentage of of whatever you state is supprisingly

    precise and it makes me wonder the reason why I had not

    looked at this with this light before. This particular article truly did

    switch the light on for me personally as far as this particular issue goes.

    However at this time there is 1 issue I am not necessarily too cozy with

    and while I attempt to reconcile that with the core theme
    of your point, let me see exactly what all the

    rest of the visitors have to say.Well done.
