The Countdown Begins....

We are only 27 days away from the opening ceremonies of the 21st Winter Olympics. They are to be held in beautiful and glacial Vancouver, Canada. Known for its Alpine slopes and rugged winter terrain, Vancouver seems like the perfect hot (or should I say cold...) spot to hold the 21st Olympiad. In the 2006 Olympics; held in Turin, Italy, the Germans took the top spot with 29 medals. Other powerhouses included the United States (25), Canada (24), Austria (23), and Russia (22). The Canadians have home turf advantage this time around, so look for them to pull off some major upsets. Moreover, look for beautiful and mystical Aboriginal themes to celebrate the rich and diverse heritage of the Aboriginal settlers who discovered the beautiful and wondrous nation known as Canada.
