Am not sure what the London House, The Swiss House, The USA House, The Japan House, The Russian House or The Nike House were doing tonight but sure know what the Heineken House was up to!
Heineken did not take over a huge tent this olympics. Instead, a castle looking complex that is the huge Agricultural Center.
Thousands of orange Dutch sing’n and sway’n and wave’n their orange arms to the GREAT music of an incredibly awesome band. An olympic flame character was the main dancer, (yes, sounds strange but true) on the stage with the band leading the spirit of the crowd. Any time a medal is won at the olympic games, the houses are the places that the athletes go to please the crowd, celebrate together and feel their glory. Tonight not one but a whole team of hockey players thrilled us all.
Was planning on coming home early to write...but no way could I leave this gigantic celebration. This time it is 4:00! Zzzzz
Carole Wimberg Cadora's Olympic Journal of Beijing Olympics 2008, Athens 2004, Salt Lake City 2002, Sydney 2000, Atlanta 1996, Barcelona 1992, Los Angeles 1984, Montreal 1976, Munich 1972 and Mexico 1968 and...the olympic spirit. Weaving present and past, the blog gives different perspectives, working in broadcasting within the International Broadcasting Center yet includes the great fun of experiencing the games as an outsider with no credentials.
