As the London Olympics-2012 are about to begin today, we Canadians are reminded of our three times as hosts. Montreal-1976, Calgary-1988 and Vancouver-2010. The aftermath of hosting such an event can have such ripple effects for years to come. Like the Calgary ski hill that is used as a park and a training grounds for ski jumping and other sports. Those of us that could not attend the events can still visit after the fact as tourists.
So as memories are created over the next two weeks- here's to all our athletes, athletes of the world and London- have a blast!
Great photos, especially of the Olympic Hall of Fame.
