As I look back on the trip a few anecdotal stories come to mind like....
The time Ted Ligety's coach 'borrowed' a snowmobile to get him to the start in time to race.
That our loaner phones' ringtone was the Olympic theme song - 'Let everyone shine' - it got pretty annoying after awhile.
That Ivanka Trump stayed at our Jeongseon hotel (Park Roche) after we moved over to Yongpyong.
Because of limited electrical outlets and converters, it was easier to use this space for my laptop...
That there was no real Olympic TV channel on Korean TV but you could find Olympic events on the tube - short track speedskating....or short track speedskating.
That many of the structures for the Olympics are temporary and the Olympic legacy may be just storm drain covers...
That in Canada House there was a display put up by the City of Calgary as an 'Interested City' for the 2026 Games and I actually came home with a City of Calgary pin.
That this animated Sooharang went through a 'song and dance' about every 30 seconds....all day & all night and you could hear it from our hotel rooms.....until someone went over and unplugged it. An act worthy of a gold medal.
That our FIS suits were a bit baggy in the butt.
