Utolsó nap - Last day

And Canada won! Yes :) If not the hungarians, at least them ;)

...

Pretty soon the fire in the cauldron will be gone. I won't see it go just as i didn't saw it being lit. Didn't saw the opening ceremony and the same will be the case with the closing, and this i regret a bit, because these shows where always big events to watch on the tv while i was growing up, but also, i dont have a tv set now and no one to watch as my cousins aren't interested in winter sports and the rest of my family is too far away. I watched the games on bbc online, not everything, and not compulsively, and often in the background while doing knitting. I cheered mostly for strangers, for good games, for people whose few-line backround stories cathced my attention or just had a catchy name; i cheered for brits and hungarians in particular - when i could get snippets of them, when not, i had to do with poles and any neighbourghs like slovaks and slovenians and austrians. Or anyone. They where good games, great moments, lots of fog and snow, and well, canada can cheer :)

Next up in one and a half years : London. Can't wait :)

A részvétel a fontos... - What matters is being there...

I wanted to write about the two guys who came last in the 50 km cross country and put up a big fight at the end and sprinted for the finish line to catch the 47th place - they raced just like those who went for the medals.

But then started the ice hockey final and got stuck. And i said myself i won't get exited or anything, but did. Of course. Of course chewed my nails and got that stone in the stomach and those damn americans scored 24.4 seconds back. It's so bad to watch them canadians do the same stupid thing as hungarians and english do: getting nervous and let it slip.

Hope not. Fingers crossed.

Btw i finished the Gail during the 50k and cast off during the hockey.
