this was 2003. Years of work. Complaints and bitterness and excitement.

Then the torch relay and 17 days.

The Olympics can bring Canadians together like no other government program or company ever could

@beastlyshins Or if a young skier from Quebec named Alex Bilodeau knew that he would make history as the first Canadian to win an Olympic gold medal on home soil?

2:35 for the announcement.

I wonder if a 15 year old Sidney Crosby knew then that he would end those games with the greatest moment in olympic history?

@scorpioninpink Half were in Andorra, the luge track in France some mountain events/hockey in Jaca, Spain which also bid for the 2014 Olympics. The plan was too spread out for them to win. Besides Andorra has never won an Olympic medal, which means the IOC is extremely unlikely to award them the games.
