Vancouver games quick to sell out
At least Greece still has some respect for the Games. There were no corporate sponsorships or ‘and now a word from our sponsors…’ moments in Athens Thursday morning when they lit the Olympic torch for the 2010 winter games. The torch arrives on Canadian soil next week and will travel 45,000 kilometres on its 106-day [...]
Quick, someone get Damien Rhodes on the horn
