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.

Transformation in Olympic Transportation
For the most part, Olympic transportation has always been fun for me. Exciting energy sort of bursts out into a festive event TO and FROM many of the events. But not always. During the first week that I was in Vancouver there were several local doubting faces on the city buses. After Opening Ceremony the city bus climate changed and many of the locals gradually joined the festivity and joined the fun olympic craziness. Toward the end of the games almost everyone in the city was celebrating. Most of Canada caught the olympic fever. Even bus drivers who had to change routes often to help keep the street walkers smiling and the happy crowds flowing could have been extremely frustrated, sang! Yup! How cool is that.
