62 Days

With only 62 days left in the countdown towards the 2010 Winter Olympics, you can seriously find the Olympic rings on anything. Including ecstasy. You know, the drug. Vancouver police seized over 100,000 pills of ecstasy imprinted with the Olympic rings this past Thursday. The drugs were worth about $1 million.

In February, the city of Richmond, British Columbia will honor the 2010 Winter Olympics by floating 13 million cranberries down the Fraser River in the shape of the Olympic rings. The cranberry float will be 62 meters in length and will sit in the river right behind the Richmond Oval, home of the 2010 Olympic long track speed skating competition. Cranberries are being used because Richmond is Canada's largest cranberry producer.

At the last Winter Olympics in Turino, Italy in 2006, 62 individuals won medals for 26 countries. Canadian speed skater Cindy Klassen won five medals, South Korean speed skater Ahn Hyun Soo won four, Italian speed skater Enrico Fabris won three, as well as American speed skater Chad Hedrick. American speed skaters Joey Cheek, Shani Davis and Apolo Ohno all won two medals. Of the top medalists in 2006, Klassen and Cheek have retired and Ahn Hyun Soo failed to qualify for the 2010 Olympics. Fabris, Hedrick, Davis and Ohno should all be there, so watch for them come February.
