Q&A: On the 2010 winter olympics dvd, does it show all athletes and events in the olympics? Or just a few?

Question by T Nez: On the 2010 winter olympics dvd, does it show all athletes and events in the olympics? or just a few?In the description on amazon it says that the athletes are shaun white, apolo ohno, johnny weir and lindsey vonn. I was hoping that the dvd showed the entire winter olympics. Does anyone know?

Best answer:

Answer by krystaanaAre you talking about the CTV 2010 Olympics DVD? Because if you are, it shows highlights from all the events but just the ones where Canadian athletes won medals. I’m so sad they don’t show the entire gold medal hockey game

@Actions have concequences- I know it because the description on buying the product said it would just give highlights of Canada’s best moments in the 2010 Olympics. it was on a commercial. Like there would only be highlights of both ceremonies. Well, obviously it’s better than the NBC one.

shamikayc – China’s Winter Game Ambitions Heat Up

BEIJING—as the Vancouver Winter Olympics draw to a close, China’s sports machine is quietly putting on a clinic in how to climb the medals standings.

China has poured increasing resources in the Winter Games after snagging the most gold medals in the Beijing Summer Olympics two years ago. as of Wednesday, with four days left of Olympics play, it had won eight medals, tied for ninth with Switzerland and Sweden. four years ago, at the Winter Olympics in Turin, it won 11.

China’s Beixing Wang competes in speed skating.

But four of China’s medals so far are gold, double the haul from Turin and its highest total in the Winter Games, and it looks set to continue its effort. by contrast, Canada is considering cutting a similar program after the nation hasn’t come close to leading in the overall medal count.

So far, the gold has come mostly in areas where China had been expected to do well: speed skating and freestyle skiing. But it also won gold in figure skating even though the duo of Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo was unranked.

Thursday, the Chinese women’s curling team, which was seen as a favorite for gold, lost in the semifinals, though coach Daniel Rafael said the performance was amazing considering that the players were in their 20s, when most teams fielded curlers in their 40s.

“I think they did good for a bunch of 20-year-olds at the Olympics,” Mr. Rafael said. “Experience counts.”

China’s Winter Olympics gains come even as officials say it has just 30 standard-sized skating rinks nationwide and virtually no public participation in other winter sports.

“The Olympics are about changing China’s image,” says Donnie Pei, a historian of Chinese sports at the Capital Institute of Sports, a college. “We used to be called the ‘sick man of Asia,’ and now we want to show that we’re not as weak as you think.”

The government is committed to expanding mass participation. last year it spent $60 million, raised through a lottery, on public sports, up from $40 million in 2007. an additional $15 million went to pilot projects in rural China, where facilities are especially scarce.

Officials say the spending has more to do with grandeur than ordinary people’s physical fitness. Liu Peng, head of the General Administration of Sports in China, said in a recent state-media interview that China has to move from being “a big sporting country” to a “powerful sporting country.”

These goals are on display at the Chinese Winter Sports Administrative Center in Beijing. The offices are spartan, but the ambitions huge: to make a country with almost no winter-sporting tradition the rival of the Germanys, Norways and Austrias of the world.

China made its Winter Olympics debut in 1980 at the Lake Placid Games in the U.S., with its best result an 18th-place finish in the women’s slalom. The country began to aim at sports where China’s strengths could come into play, said the director of the winter-sports center, Zhao Yinggang. that meant spending money on sports like freestyle skiing, snowboarding and speed skating.

“These sports are easier for Chinese athletes to get results in a short time,” Mr. Zhao said. “Some of them are similar to summer sports where Chinese athletes are more competitive.”

China Real Time: Skaters Break Mold

China’s Medal Winners

Continuing Coverage From Vancouver

For example, one of China’s top medal prospects is Han Xiaopeng, who won gold at the Turin Games in freestyle-skiing aerials and is due to compete in Vancouver this week. Mr. Han hails from temperate Jiangsu province, which has only one skating rink for its 75 million people. But Mr. Han was an expert tumbler and attended a famous acrobatic-gymnastics sports school in Peixian. at age 13, Mr. Han was recruited into the freestyle-ski team. “He already had skills that could be used,” Mr. Zhao said. Chinese athletes are recruited young and given systematic training, he said.

This result-oriented focus helped China win its first winter medals, two silvers in speed skating, at the 1992 games. The real breakthrough took place a decade later, when speed skater Yang Yang won the women’s 500- and 1,000-meter events. in Turin, China won two gold, four silver and five bronze medals to finish in ninth place.

As in the Summer Games, China is weaker in team sports, which require a higher number of elite athletes for just one gold medal and are considered relatively inefficient investments. But earlier this week, China won its first women’s ice-hockey match in 12 years and finished the tournament in seventh place. This year, China’s best shot for team gold might come Friday in an unlikely sport, curling, where the women’s team has won the world championship and spent part of the year training in Canada.

Some question whether geography will hold China back. most of the country is relatively warm, with little snowfall. Like most of the people in China’s winter-sports program, Mr. Zhao, the center’s director, hails from the northeast, or Manchuria, the only heavily populated part of the country with winter-like conditions. although it includes just three of China’s 30 provinces and territories, the northeast is still home to 108 million people, more than the combined populations of winter-sporting powers Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Norway.

“We need more of a foundation, but that will come,” Mr. Zhao said. “Each year we will keep improving bit by bit.”

Why the low attendence for the New York Islanders?

The have among the lowest average attendence in the NHL, but Nassau county has a population of 1.3 million with an average income of 85,000 a year.

because they would rather spend their money on a yankee game.

A big shiny new arena and a good on ice product would turn that around in a heartbeat which answers your Q I guess.

bc they suck

Its also in the U.S., not Canada… its hockey. Few Americans like it.

New York who? ….

How do traffic laws work in such a situation?

In Canada, often outside the big cities, it is noticed that as traffic on highway is flowing very smoothly speeds are quite above the speed-limit. It is often noticed that the distance between the vehicles stays constant making the traffic-flow very smooth as they are speeding anywhere between 120 km/h and 140 km/h in 100 km/h speed-limit highway. In such situations where there is no outstanding speeder how do the traffic laws work? I am curious about USA laws too.

Michael Buble showered with Juno Awards; Justin Bieber shut-out …

Pop-jazz singer Michael Buble raked in the most Juno Awards over the weekend, while teen sensation Justin Bieber was all but shut-out of what’s considered the “Canadian Grammys.”

The ceremony — which ran on Saturday and was broadcast to TV watchers in Canada on Sunday — rewarded the 34-year-old Canadian crooner with four honors: Album and Pop Album of the Year (for 2009′s “Crazy Love”), Single of the Year (“Just Haven’t Met you Yet”) and the Juno Fan choice award.

Young Bieber was up for — but lost out on — three awards, including Best New Artist, which singer/rapper Drake took home instead. the two actually collaborated together on the former’s hit “Baby” during the performance-heavy ceremony, and the latter offered to share the award with Bieber.

It is worth noting that Drake has yet to release a full-length album, a feat that turns focus on his forthcoming “Thank Me Later” which seems to be in a perpetually bumped state.

HitFix fave K’Naan took home Artists of the Year while Metric bested acts like Tegan & Sara in the Alternative Album of the Year category (with “Fantasies”) and won out over longtime faves the Tragically Hip for Group of the Year. Arkells won New Group of the Year.

We’d normally suggest you check out the Juno Awards site for all winners and nominees, but it’s Tragically Organized. Instead, here’s Wikipedia to the rescue, bless their hearts.

2007 IIHF U20 Canada vs USA Shootout

Shootout from the Semifinal Round of the 2007 IIHF World Junior Tournament, Canada vs USA **************************************** NOTE: This video was posted to show a great shootout and highlight some fantastic young players. It is a sports video for hockey fans. Unfortunately, despite warnings to the contrary, some people with nothing better to do than swear at users and insult nations abused the privilege of commenting on this video. As a result, it was impossible to keep up with deleting and policing the ridiculous and uncalled for comments, so comments have been disabled for this video. Again, my apologies to those who wanted to discuss good, clean hockey. Too bad a bunch of 14 year olds (age and mentally alike) ruined it for the rest of us. ****************************************
