Queen of Hearts

Another exciting day at the Olympics. Joannie Rochette became Queen of hearts as she took the Bronze in figure skating rising up to the challenge of performing days after unexpectedly losing her mother. This tower of strength from Quebec is full of honour and class. She made us proud. http://www.vancouversun.com/sports/Brave+Joannie+Rochette+wins+figure+skating+bronze+Canada/2614899/story.html

South Korea's Kim Yuna took the gold in an amazing presentation. Hat's off to Kim Yuna and South Korea. Well done. Canada took the gold in woman's hockey but I'm confused about the controversy over their after game private party.

If it was after all the fans had left then there is no problem. I just thought it look a little arrogant if they turned their back on all the audience and had a private party when they were all watching. The news reports that the IOC will also be investigating all the Stanley Cup victories for the past 60 years.

Hours before that Jacques Rogge the president of the IOC warned woman's hockey that it can't be too lopsided or it will be dropped from the games. Here we once again see the dark side of the IOC. That kind of arrogance mirrors the IOC's refusal to include women in the ski jumping competition. http://sports.ca.msn.com/olympics/article.aspx?cp-documentid=23533574

This from the same guy that was embroiled in the Salt Lake City scandal where the president of the Salt Lake City Olympic Organizing committee was forced to resign because of gifts and bribes to the IOC to get the bid.

So the IOC accepts all these bribes and the president of the Salt Lake City Organizing Committee takes the fall while the guy who was in charge of accepting all the bribes continued on. He's also referred to as Count Rogge on Wikipedia. Perhaps he too is a vampire on the side exploiting the public.
