Vancouver 2010 was by far one of the best times of my life. EVERYONE was decked out in Olympic spirit and it was just so much fun being shoulder to shoulder with foreigners (that can't speak English), but can still celebrate the world of sport with you

Those of you that didn't go to the Holland Heineken House definitely missed out. I think I was there with friends for like 10 or 11 days of the entire Olympics and every night was such a fucking blast

We tried to go to HH one night but waited in line for over an hour just to be told we wouldnt be getting in.. and its a bit of a haul from surrey so that was our only attempt

Best night for me was walking from coal harbour to Saxony house at the vanouver rowing club in stanley park, relatviely unknown house due to location but we went anyways, stood in line for an hour and a half in the pouring rain only to be rewarded with an insanely good party

Cheap AF steins of real german beer, brat wust on the BBQ out on the patio, one of the best cover bands ive ever heard. They had full on hardcore german accents but did eagles, dire straights etc to perfection. Even made out with some random american chick out on the patio lol :fullofwin:

Partied HARD that night then went back downtown at like 1am and granville was still a shit show packed shoulder to shoulder, man what fucking nights we had!

I was around 21 when the olympics happened. Also I lived a 10 minute walk from minoru. That’s place was a fucking blast. House band was great, I don’t know how many times they played “sex is on fire” or whatever lol

He embodies back before 2010 when we were a timid nation just happy as runners up, "gave it our all" and were saluted for an effort

We've moved way past that now, we have top tier cut throat athletes who are expected to win and often live up to those high expectations. Chan is the perennial runner up and no matter how many world championships he's won, he will always be remebered for his failures at the olympic level when the pressure is the highest.

spot on.

My kids are really liking skeleton and the sliding sports, while I found the ski slopestyle pretty darn intense!

Fuck feel so good for virtue and moir! Great story. So proud of them!

The French nipple still won for me tho.

MG1 02-19-2018 07:29 PM

Less than a point apart. Wow!

I remember when they first had their start. What a journey. I have to google all their performances now. They kept raising the bar and wowed the audiences each and everytime they took to the ice.

mb_ 02-19-2018 08:12 PM

Moir and Virtue, always a treat to watch

Lomac 02-19-2018 08:24 PM

It'll be weird to watch the next Winter Olympics without them being in it. Those two have always been on my must-see list for events.

Very sad, indeed, but the silver lining to that cloud is that the pair give so much of themselves that directly or indirectly, we will see future Canadian ice dance competitors have a piece of them as they pursue their dreams.

The best compliment anyone can receive is when a person says, because of them, I got into this (sport, job, hobby, whathaveyou.)

...............even though ice dancing doesn't take as much talent as, whatsthatothersportagain? :troll:


BTW, talent is not quite the same as skill.

Norwegian Wood.


They beat the Slovaks!
