Vancouver Winter Olympics 2010

Jesse Owens (Athlete of the 1936 Summer Olympics)
Olympics -- A lifetime of training for just ten seconds.

For athletes, hard work, training, hours of dedication just to get that desired result... It's a never ending chase of perfection.

The Vancouver Winter Olympics opened on Friday night. A grand opening that really captured the soul of Canada.

The events are extensive. A series of Skiing, Skating, Snowboarding, Ice Hokey and the lot. Every sporting event on a winter setting.

But one significant event ended up in tragedy. A Georgian luger by the name of Nodar Kumaritashvili, died in a horrible luge crash. The accident happened on Friday morning during a practice run. Officials have reported that the athlete lost control of his sled, went over the wall of the track and hit a steel pole.

The athlete has competed in five World Cup races finishing 44th in the world standings.

Happy Chinese New Year !!

Kung Hei Fat Choy! It's the year of the Metal Tiger. Also known as Geng Yin year. This is the 4707th Year in the Lunar Calendar. In 2010, Chinese new year falls on the 14th of February. Talk about double celebration for the lovers out there. :D

The Chinese New Year is the most important festivity for the Chinese. This traditional Chinese holiday is celebrated for 15 days. It starts on the first day of the Chinese Lunar Calendar and ends on the 15th; the Lantern Festival. Each day of the celebration has a different meaning and symbolism. These days are usually marked as a time for visiting relatives and friends, a practice known as "bài nián" meaning "new year visits". Chinese New Year's Eve is known as "chú xī" meaning "Year-pass Eve".
