Armchair Olympics 11

The photo above shows the medals which are being awarded at the Games. They are circular in shape and based on a large master artwork of an orca whale by Corrine Hunt, a Canadian designer/artist of Komoyue and Tlingit heritage. Each of the medals has a unique hand-cropped section of the abstract art, making every one different.

You can read all about the medals here.

With a lot of curling still to go before the curling medals are decided next Friday and Saturday, here are the links I've found to be useful and interesting. I'll put these in the sidebar on the right later.

Let me know if there are other links that armchair fans should be looking at every day.

I discovered this video on the official Vancouver2010 website about curling in Scotland. It features David B Smith (above) and a loofie, amongst other Scots you may recognise. Enjoy!

And what about yesterday's results? It's fabulous to be able to watch such interesting games with great shotmaking, but it's hard to be a fan! Edge of the seat stuff in the days ahead now.
