It's come down to this... 0 days!

Nearly seven years of preparation, countless hours of planning, hundreds of helicopter loads of snow and tonight the world gathers together to celebrate sport at the highest level.

Some 97 countries will be participating in the 21st Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver & Whistler. Some delegations will be no greater than a single athlete and flag bearer, some groups will have hundreds of competitors! But they will all strive to do their best and to make us proud.

Now is the time to join in the celebration of sport, to put our differences behind us, and to enjoy the an example of shining moments for the people of this place we call earth.

Unfortunately a source has laid that rumour to rest for now citing creative control restraints by VANOC and the IOC as the main reason though officially both sides are claiming that scheduling conflicts of committment as the reason.
