Our is Caroline Kostner, figure skater... I'll be home at 8.00 (Turin time, lol!!) but the opening ceremony is sheduled on TV at 7.00. Will I miss something, or the TV will connect to Turin an hour earlier?? (*clearly hopes is the 2nd option*) And obviously, I hope there will be no problems concerning public order... Here are infos about the games: www.torino2006.org

Now it's time for the commentaries... How did you find the Opening ceremony?? I found it good but a bit too long at some stages... (You're free to hit me ;D) And too symbolic for my very simple mind. But the lighting up of the olimpic flame was gorgeous, and I had tears in my eyes... (I'm very emotional in these occasions... )

I have been quite ill over the last few days. So I actually feel asleep. I taped it though. Someone woke me up to see Canada walk in & woke me up again for the lighting of the flame.
