Salt Lake City

In February 2002, Dan Funboy (an encyclopeadia of sporting insight) and me, (Dave Thorvald - writer, podcaster, miscellaniaist) headed south from Olympia, WA to Utah for the duration of the Winter Olympics.

During the following month, we watched while the Games come together, temporary venues erected, and the waves of people cycle through.  Events and subsequent drama unfolded as we attended 25+ events crammed into 13 days of action and activity - including 4 Team Canada Men's hockey matches, Mens and Women's Gold Medal Curling, W's 1/2 pipe Snowboarding, M's Giant Slalom, 120M Ski jump, 10km x-country and the Barenaked Ladies.
