I love the German uniforms! Those are really cool! The gloves Greece wore were awesome too! Not to sure about the US uniforms. They are pretty crazy.

Germany is ok. A bit too loud for my taste.

Love Canada's best so far.

Great Britain was pretty good but maybe too much all one colour of dark blue. I did like the Russian long coats.

I haven`t seen many of them yet.  I agree the US one is a bit wild looking.  Canada always has awesome outfits and this year is no exception........well except for the men`s hockey jersey.   

Hathor, I agree about the white pants..........and WTF, white is not a winter colour (other than for snow!).

I know Canear. I don't know what Nike was thinking. The 2010 one was outstanding but it was a oe off for Vancouver. I have my blue 2010 Vancouver Whistler t shirt on today. Saving my Jersey for Team Canada.

Have you never heard of Winter White?

Any one of those would be better than what the USA wore.

I love white coats and dresses. White pants NOPE.

Just watching the opening ceremonies and I must have one of those long Russian coats!!  I LOVE THEM!

The Sochi mascots............I love them!!

I have to say that was an awesome opening ceremony.  Stunning.  

Now lets go out and get some medals!      Good luck to all our favourites!!

Yes now I have to find my War and Peace and reread it and listen to some Russian classical music or watch some Russian ballet. Russia really does have an amazing arsenal of art, literature and music.

Tonight early morning hopefully we will win some in slopestyle!!!!

 

The beginning was gorgeous. My friend described it as mystical and I agree! The little girl who was suspended in the air was jaw dropping. I'm very much enjoying it so far.

I loved it too Teddy. I love the horses too.

Watching Canada vs Switzerland Women's Hockey. Now 4 - 0.

I think USA won their game but I had to get some sleep after watching slope style finals. USA first, Norway second and Canada third.

It was stunning!  That little girl was just gorgeous and brave!!  Too bad about the one snowflake not opening up.  That would have been a beautiful ending to that part.

Not me Kate.  SOOOOO much of Russia's history is about killing and oppressing it's people!!  Even to this day!  Nope, no way I would spend the day emerged in anything about them.  Talented people under the thumb of dictators.  Too sad.

I didn't think there was anything wrong with the USA outfits.  They all looked lovely and happy.

I feared that old guy would run out of steam before making it to the end for the torch lighting!!  I know I could not run that far!    God bless him!

Irina Rodnina three time Olympic pairs champion. My all time favorite female pair skater. Tretiak the beat of a goalie for the Red Army team that Team Canada defeated with Paul Henderson's most famous goal. Perfect choice.

Hard to believe the Canada/Russia series was nearly 40 years ago!    

Anyhow Canada won it's first Bronze medal this morning in snowboarding!  Congratulations Mark McMorris!   ....and he did it with a broken rib.

I didn't know either of them

A broken rib??!!!  Athletes are crazy people

Congrats to him!

I see the USA got their first gold in snowboarding.
