2006 Turin Winter Olympics Blog

Wow, talk about things sneaking up on you! Did you realize that the Turin Winter Olympics are just a month away?

Well, they start on February 10 of this year. Today's site is a blog devoted to that very subject. It's called, amazingly enough, 2006 Turin Winter Olympics Blog.

Read about contenders, favorites, underdogs, and lovable stories like the Ghana ski team attempting to qualify. Ghana, in case you didn't know, is a tropical African country.

The sports are commented on and arranged by figure skating, ice dancing, ice hockey, speed skating, skeleton, cross country skiing, luge, freestyle skiing, and downhill skiing.

Have fun with the trivia quizzes. Do you know what the maximum speed achieved during skeleton is? For that matter, do you know WHAT skeleton is?

Pin collectors, get the latest lowdown on new releases for these Olympics.

Read about the budding controversy regarding allowing injured Michelle Kwan onto the team. Hey, that beats reading about Terrel Owens' latest self-centered rants, doesn't it?

This blog should be heavily populated with new stories over the next month. Make sure you tune in after the Olympics start, too. And enjoy today's FamilyFirst site!

    It was interesting to watch the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics..

    Most all of the countries represented entered into the Stadium in a quiet, respectful and polite manner.

    When the USA team came in however, it was as though a majority of the team had just arrived from the Winter Olympic Speed Drinking venue
