Day One.

All the athletes not all arrived yet.
The Canadians are still waiting for more athletes to show.

The European teams looks strong. Viewing the team photos
you can see the fire in their eyes.

The Brits, Danes and Germans all have representatives ready to take advantage of the fact that they have the home field advantage for the Games.

The American team has a large contingent in attendance, this year playing as a visiting team.

----------------------------------------

The medals were unveiled at a special ceremony during the opening ceremonies.

The circular medals were designed with a simplistic and tasteful
rendition of a cat in the "Are YOU talking to ME?" pose.

One athlete was over heard to say, "I am going to treat MY medals like cat toys,
When I get home, I'll leave all my medals all over the floor just to remind my owner who is in charge ...."

--------------------------------------------

We'll try to stay on top of all the Games and try to bring you
the latest scores. Our reporters will follow the same schedule as the competitors.

"Yawn.......Is it time to wake up and do something?"
