I was recently in Park City Utah to ski. They have lots of Olympic stuff around still from 2002.?
Did anyone go to any Olympic events?? And if you did, what did you attend?
Answers:
Which was the first asian country to host the olimpics game?
Most places keep the olympic stuff around. I live in Reno. Reno (Squaw Valley) hasn't hosted the Olympics in over 30 years, but a lot of the stuff remains. I was also at the track in Barcelona where the summer olympics were held 10 years ago or more. The stuff is still there.I didn't go to the Oympics in Salt Lake. But a lot of my husband's family did. My sister in law is a dancer and she got to perform with KISS. There were only 4 girls on stage with kiss and she was one of them. That's pretty cool.
Why did the commonwealth games begin?
Lake Placid is also a place that keeps everything around and you can bobsled, luge, on the very same track that was used for the Olympics, speedskating where Eric Heiden won 5 gold medals, skate where the US Olympic Hockey team beat the Soviets for the Miracle on Ice, ski jumping, curling, and ski at White Face Mountain which was the skiing spot for the 1980 Games. There is also museums for the 1932 Games and 1980 Games. Alot of the Olympic organizations give lessons or run camps. I got luge lessons from Silver Medalist Gordy Sheer and Duncan Kennedy two times and will be going back for more lessons. I would have to say it was the best vacation spot I ever been to.My wife and I were lucky enough to attend the medals ceremony on the last day of events. What an amazing event! Downtown Salt Lake City was transformed into something amazing. And interacting with people from all over the world was once of the most exhilarating experiences of my life. Everyone should do it at least once!
(And thanks for letting me reminisce...)
