A few days ago I got a Deborah Compagnoni signed postcard...mailed to me all of the way from Italy. She is a former Italian alpine skiier, and won gold medals at the 1992, 1994, and the 1998 Olympic Winter games. I sent her an email asking for the autograph.
It took only a few weeks to get the postcard.
Another week until the paralympics which is pretty hard to believe, because its felt like forever since the Olympics ended.
There is going to be 5 sports:
Alpine Skiing
Biathlon
Cross Country Skiing
Ice Sledge Hockey
WheelChair Curling
The paralympic torch is I believe, somewhere near the east. On day 1, it was in Ottawa, day 2 was in Quebec, and day 3 was in Toronto.
Note: Rick Mercer represented British Columbia in Ottawa as the first torch bearer in the Torch Relay Lighting Ceremony.
