I think the Olympics ended just in time. If heard that annoying "If you Believe" theme song one more time, I was going to snap. That's my only complaint. (if you ignore the British Press and Apollo's sound bites). Does CTV have royalties rights to that song? Every single intro, outro. Not once did i hear the traditional Olympic Fanfare that so hauntingly reminds me of Oh Canada.
NBC did play the Fanfare though, but that network always seemed to be mysteriously absent in its broadcasting. I would flip from CTV, only to find an infommercial on. It seemed that NBC only carried highlight packages.
What I really liked was the way the closing ceremonies conveyed humour. Not sure about you guys, but the Russian presentation was a bit too serious for me. Yes, they have a lot of impressive culture but I think they could take a more light hearted (dare I say fun?) approach. But a fantastic show nonetheless.
My favourite player in the hockey tournament: Ryan Miller. I think he got the tourny MVP as well. That guy is outstanding, and he came to the closing ceremonies. What a class act. I searched all over for more NHL players, but didn't see any, except my wife told me that I just missed Ovechkin. I did see Tretiak tho. Another classy guy.
