kinda...Austra had the games in '64, and again in '76

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976_Winter_Olympics

The games were originally awarded to Denver in May 1970, but a 300 percent rise in costs and worries about environmental impact led to Colorado voters' rejection on November 7, 1972, by a 3 to 2 margin, of a $5 million bond issue to finance the games with public funds.[1][2]
Denver officially withdrew on November 15, and the IOC then offered the games to Whistler, British Columbia, Canada, but they too declined owing to a change of government following elections. (Whistler would go on to be associated with neighboring Vancouver's successful bid for the 2010 games.)

athens game in 2004. they were still working on their stadium just nights before
the opening ceremony... but they did get it done....

best opening ceremony ever because of tiesto

too bad we didnt copy and put deadmau5 on, i mean he's Canadian so..win win

deadmau5 is canadian? Damn, we shoulda had that...

Slight difference in "brand recognition" between Tiesto and deadmau5, though...

Tiesto is about 100x better than Deadmau5. They're not even on the same level.

Hrm...

Have you seen missing Dutch bikes?

RICHMOND (NEWS1130) - Richmond RCMP are looking for 21 bicycles that may have been lost or stolen during the Olympics. The bikes belong to the Dutch government and are distinctive because of their blue and yellow paint jobs.

Around 400 of them were being lent out through the Heineken House pavilion at the Richmond O-Zone. Police aren't sure if the bicycles--which aren't available in Canada--were lost or stolen.

If you've seen the bikes, you're urged to call RCMP or CrimeStoppers immediately.

I remember seeing the Dutchies riding around on those all the time, but I'd say 21 lost out of 400 ain't bad

Maybe some of the Dutchies flipped em for weeeeeeed.

I want to thank AND fail you at the same time.

granville st will never be the same again.

I'm feeling nostalgic for an event that happened two weeks ago.... Yeah it was THAT good.

i listen to both, and Tiesto is certainly better than Deadmau5 nowadays


what a shame =/

^ Comparing Tiesto to Deadmau5 LOL

more like 1 day later.

Deadmau5 is not really a DJ, and in terms of producing, he's way better than Tiesto.

Toronto's Olympic craze On the last day of the olympics!

nothing compared to here in vancouver

Ofcourse but to think that on the other side of the Nation it's that big as well.

It was Team Canada that was playing, not the Vancouver Canucks.

Plus, Torontonians believe they are in the center of the universe.
