I've been watching it pretty much continuously.
I saw the opening ceremony (fantastic lighting artistry) and the mishap with the torch.
Gretzky and the others handled it well.
I was impressed by the utter silence when they called to have a moment of silence for the deceased Georgian luger.
As for the games themselves, I'm loving all that I've seen. Men and women's Biathalon, Women's hockey, Men's Nordic Combined, Men's speed-skating, Men's ski-jumping and Women's downhill mogul. (sorry, Canada, we stole your first home-game gold away from you)
We're watching Pair's figure-skating now.
All-in-all, I've enjoyed it so far.
I'm not digging the luge too much this year, but I guess that's understandable.
I'm in disbelief at how they could let such a huge flaw in the track's design go by so long without them modifying it. Everybody kept saying it was the fasted track.
Anyway, I'm bummed that the Jamaican bobsled team didn't make it this year.
Edit:
Why would anybody protest the Olympics?
Edit 2:
Canada's drought is over, Ace!
Alexandre Bilodeau from the Men's downhill mogul, won Canada's first home gold medal.
