The Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics are mere days away. It is scheduled to run from February 12th to 28th. I’ve always been a big fan of the Winter Olympics since the 1992 games. The 1992 games featured many Asians in sports. Specifically, figure skating as Kristi Yamaguchi and Midori Ito finished first and second respectively. Chen Lu from China also placed in the top 10. From than, there were no shortage of Asians as part of women’s figure skating. It was always nice to see some Asian faces in national television.
