I've looked for it on the Vancouver offical site, and on the HBC site...
Maybe i'm just stupid, can't find it! I can find pirated versions of anything in any format and language, but I can't find where to get the Canada olympic gear...
I really like those Canada hoodies and jackets with the CANADA across the front with the slanted "A"s...
I see the HBC logo on it, but nothing on thier site... hopefully they release some of it after the olympics...
Like the vest and jacket on the left...
Found some stuff on Ebay... but there has to be a real site. |
http://www.vancouver2010.com/store/index.html
but it seems like they are sold out of a lot of stuff. there was stuff there that i wanted to buy but it's no longer on the site. i saw the coats at The Bay store but they were being sold pretty fast. |

Yeah I never heard of the sport but it was definitely exciting. We didn't get robbed though. Robertson probably didn't expect Wescott coming up behind him. |
You should always assume someone is behind your tail when you are leading.... He deserved 2nd because of it. But that's what happens when you coast. Always try to beat yourself, not the competition.
The worst part is, we have been losing gold to USA every time we are neck and neck with them. Womens moguls, snowboard cross and i believe one other event.... |

Was an awesome race! I am really digging the "racing" sports ATM....the short-track speed skating and snowboard cross have given me plenty of excitement! :) |

Snowboard cross is the most exciting event so far. A shame that we got "robbed" today though. |
Wait till Ski Cross....I find that even more exciting. |

They are saying that Bilodeau didn't deserve the score he got, apparently because his turns were not as technical as the turns of the Australian.
Bull IMO |

You mean the turns that carried him down the hill faster than anyone else who ran that course? I'd say that if you're making the turns in such a way that you end up at the bottom of the hill faster than anyone else, you were better at it. |

They did that ghost replay where they have both skiers on the screen and the experts said that Bilodeau was clearly the better skiier |

| I guess when you lose a gold medal in the Olympics you do anything to prove that who defeated you doesn't deserve it. Plus in the mogu,,l your final score is given out of your time, AND the technique in the turns. |
