A Cup of Chowder in Vancouver
Every two years, the world gets together for the most globalized sports competition in the history of athletic competition. Of course, this year, that multiple-day event begins tonight as the Opening Ceremonies for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada set things off.
Of course, it always comes down to “National Pride” in the Olympics as the USA fights to bring home the most medals when all is said and done. There are a lot of favorite events that occur in the Winter Games. Of course, men’s and women’s hockey (especially with the Games being held in Canada this year) will reign supreme, curling has become very popular over the last couple Games, personally I have been considering the biathlon… because I can, and all of those skiing and snowboarding events never disappoint.
But specifically, what (who) do we as individuals have to cheer for? Well, that’s where I come in. Here is a full list of all of the Team USA athletes that reign from New England. Find a few that are from your area that maybe you didn’t know about (or did) and cheer on your fellow chowdah lovers.
