Better Know Your Olympic Venues

With the Winter Olympics less than one week away, it is probably time you familiarize yourself with some of the venues you’ll be staring at for two weeks. And if you’re watching with friends, you’ll want to at sound somewhat intellegent, instead of just referring to it as “the mountain” or “the icy slide.”

There’s no Bird’s Nest or Watercube in Vancouver, but they are boasting the first ever Opening Ceremonies to be held completely indoors, so that’s something. And there is also the Richmond Olympic Oval, which is new and shiny and home to speed skating. Oh, and a ski venue that has been forced to use lots of hay already. Can’t you just feel the excitement?
