Olympics on the Beeb
Having settled back into Oxford after a busy trip and made my move into college for my last month year, work on my dissertation is yet again challenged by the Olympics. But this will be my first Olympics without the CBC, and my Canadian readers can imagine the anxiety I have over not having Brian Williams guide me through the events. But there is hope. The BBC’s coverage of the opening ceremonies seemed okay, although with little focus on the Canadian team. And all is not lost: if I get forlorn for a bit of a Canadian edge to the Games, I can always go down to the newly-opened Roots Boutique in London and pick up a bit of good old fashioned Roots gear. And judging by what I saw in tonight’s opening ceremonies, I’d have a few countries’ kit to choose from: Canada (of course), the USA, Great Britain, and Barbados. Canada, making the world look cool at the Olympics.
