Swedish curler Glenn Ikonen in 2010 Paralympic drug scandal

image thumbnail - see full story for attributions
Oh, this is sad. He's going down in history, all right, but not for representing his country at the Paralympic Games. Instead, Glenn Ikonen, vice-skip of the Swedish curling team has found sudden, worldwide fame for being the first and so far only 2010 Olympic OR Paralympic athlete removed from competition [...]

The reason for Canada's Olympic patriotism

image thumbnail - see full story for attributions
It was a strange sight, indeed - all those waving flags and impromptu group renditions of ‘O! Canada’ that had a tendency to break out on the street was something new. During the Olympics, Canadians suddenly appeared to realize they were part of a country, and, in what seemed like [...]

Vancouver 2010: Now what?

image thumbnail - see full story for attributions
So that’s over with, then. The Olympics have now officially ended, and the discussion over their success has already begun. Amid the euphoria of yesterday’s gold medal men’s hockey game, and following the slightly weird closing ceremony, there was a distinct feeling of both relief and sadness; a bittersweet collective [...]

Why Norway wins big in the Winter Olympics

During last night's Winter Games closing ceremony—sometime after William Shatner and before we muted the set during the frightening number featuring the nightmarish giant beaver—household discussion turned to the overall medals standings. (As it does.) Obviously, the United States did well over the last two weeks, raking in 37 shiny [...]

Siberia is about to become the new home and training grounds for a bunch of Olympic athletes that didn’t quite deliver at the winter games as planned. Mother Russia is pissed…and it’s not nice to tick off Mother Russia. In a reenactment of the good old days of Soviet Union dominance in [...]

Nickelback ruined Canada's Olympics

Oh Canada, you nearly had it all. You won the gold in hockey. Well done. And you finished with, by far, the most golds at the Winter Games. Yup, these were good games. Nothing could ruin it, nothing. Except for Nickelback. What were you thinking, Canada? You had a positively star-studded line-up for the [...]

Well, that was a relief. Nothing much to say, apart from Vancouver is about to explode - the streets are already packed. I'd like to say more, but hey... I'm off to celebrate. Olympics over. Party begins.

Vancouver 2010: The great condom shortage

image thumbnail - see full story for attributions
Well, it might have been inevitable. From the CBC:
… an emergency shipment of condoms is desperately making its way across Canada to the West Coast city. Health officials in Vancouver have already provided 100,000 free condoms to the roughly 7,000 ahtletes and officials at the Games. That's about 14 [...]

Let the Team Canada women drink beer!

Rather than focusing on the sport, some media outlets this morning chose to create or flame a controversy apparently started by reporters - including an AP reporter who took photos to the IOC. The Canadian women's hockey team wins an Olympic gold medal - but instead some of the headlines say: [...]

Joannie Rochette and the narrative of redemption

image thumbnail - see full story for attributions
This won’t be too complicated. The unmistakable fall back position of sports broadcasting is always one of redemption. If nothing else, the sportscaster knows, there must be talk about all the reasons an athlete or a team needs to redeem themselves in the next competition. It even extends – as it [...]
