The Winter Games start Friday in Vancouver.
Canada has won more medals in each succeeding Winter Olympics since Calgary so optimism reigns in B.C. that our athletes will surpass even the record 24 medals won in Turin in 2006, including seven gold.
One event, however, that I can't wrap my brain around in the Winter Games is snowboarding, which was thrown in by money-hungry Olympic big wigs a few years ago just to attract a younger crowd that perhaps they hadn't been drawing before.
I'll watch snowboarding in the Olympics when skateboarding makes its debut in the Summer Games.
I also think for biathlon, where they cross-country ski and then shoot at targets, they should have live targets. Maybe ship out some o' them dang coyotes from Prince Edward County.
Go Canada Go.
