Canadian Olympic Torch Oops

Feb 13, 2010 13 Replies

Just watched the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics Looks like they had a Sydney 2000 moment with a malfunction of the torch, they just couldn't get the 4th pole working. I wonder what went wrong?, I guess we'll find out in due course...

Probably 'Made in Canada' instead of 'Made in China'.

Says "Maid in Chinada" on the QC sticker. Must be OK.

Thank goodness there was no malfunction when that boy was "flying". To me, that was the best part of the ceremony. A wonderful mix of technology, athletic grace and acting ability. Awesome!

I was waiting for some bearded old gent in greasy overalls to walk out on the stage and whack something with a hammer.
