The opening ceremonies last night were great (faulty cauldron and all) and as per our poll results many of us knew that Wayne Gretzky was going to light the flame. The hologram Terry Fox would have been cool, but I didn’t think it was going to happen. Today is the first official day of events, so here is a list of things going on today during the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics
