Last fall we were visiting our friends Vitaly and Olga when Vitaly mentioned wanting to go to an Olympic hockey game and watch Belarus (his home country) play. Jeremy agreed that would be great and sort of forgot about it until Vitaly called to say he got tickets. He and Jeremy went to attend the Belarus vs. Finland game and had a wonderful time. I am a little jealous that I didn't get to take part but Jeremy did bring back a couple great gifts. As I am the one posting I really don't know what many of his pictures were of so I only highlighted a few - he may decide to change some of this post at a later time and add info.
Duh...The Olympic Torch (right before they removed the chainlink fence and Jeremy was standing on a garbage can or something to get an unobstructed view). I think he was even filmed by a Canadian news station for that. 
How cool is this, you can practice your bobsledding.
Vitaly holding his flag (they ordered them online before the games and were quite pleased).There seats were about 8 rows behind the Belarussian bench. I know they made it on tv in Belarus a number of times because Vitaly's friends called to say they saw him on tv.
Finland flag on the monitor - Lahti (my maiden name) is the second largest city in Finland so Jeremy of course had to cheer for Finland. They didn't disappoint Finland won 5-1.
Belarus flag
Cool building with a large tv on the side. This may have been where the game was.
