Venue Tours

Part of my role at the moment with the Olympics is to attend all the first round of venue tours. This has its ups and downs... ups are visiting indoor hockey/ice skating venues and seeing athletes practicing, downs are trekking across construction sites in heels, ups are being able to walk the luge/bobsleigh/skeleton tracks before the ice goes down, downs are being caught in blizzards on the top of mountain venues.

In the above photos that just look like snow, you might just be able to make out the half pipe for the snowboard event on the right and the ski jumping and mogal course for the freestyle skiing events on the left.

And, for something a little different... the Games mascot's were launched today, they are HILARIOUS!!!
