Opening Ceremonies: Parade of Nations

I'm not sure how long this seemed to those sitting at home, but it seemed to go by so quickly for us in the stadium, much like everything else.

Don took out his binoculars to watch the athletes as they entered and he says it was quite fascinating to watch their faces as they walked in and saw the spectacle laid out before them. Of course most of them had cameras taking pictures of us as we were taking pictures of them.

We solemnly stood for the Republic of Georgia as they came in wearing black arm bands, having lost an athlete on the luge track that morning. Cheers were loud for all the teams, but especially for Great Britain, Jamaica and USA. However, as you can imagine, none was loader than than the roar when Clara Hughes walked in Team Canada.
