The 21st 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games have just started. This is the biggest winter olympic games ever happened having about 2,400 representatives of 82 countries and regions. There will be 86 events of 7 games for 17 days until Feb. 28 which is March 1 in Japan.
There are 94 Japanese athletes which is 18 less than the last Torino Olympics in 2006. The youngest is 15 years old and the oldest is 45 years old. The flag bearer is Ms. Tomomi Okazaki (岡崎朋美), 38 years old speed skater who has attended the 4 winter olympics before and this is the fifth olympics for her. I hope she will get the medal.
I watched the opening ceremony which broadcasted from 11 am and rebroadcasted from 7:30 pm on TV. It was the first ceremony that was held indoors. The snowboarder was very impressive.
But I still think the best lighting scene of the Olympic Frame was the Barcelona 1992 which led me to go to see the Olympic games after that. Since then I have been to the Barcelona '92, Atlanta '96, Nagano '98, Sydney 2000, Salt Lake 2002, and Athene 2004.
