Bienvenue! It’s me, Sara. On Saturday, I got an up-close look at the Olympic Cauldron at BC Place on the Waterfront, and I must say it’s quite a site to see! My coworker Nancy and I took a few photos…we even got to stand underneath it!
Yesterday, I took a trip up to Cypress Mountain, one of the Olympic venues which is featuring snowboarding and freestyle skiing. I visited our receive site which is set-up to receive the video our fixed-wing plane feeds down – and you see on NBC. The shots of the course from the sky were unbelievable! Did you see them? I watched the Men’s Snowboard Cross Finals from the bottom of the course near the finish line and got to see American Seth Wescott win the GOLD. We caught some great angles with our aerial view.

Prior to Vancouver, did you know Goodyear provided aerial coverage for eight other Olympic games? The first one was in Los Angeles in 1932. It’s exciting to be a part of something so great that reaches so many people across the globe.
One week down, two more to go! Talk to you soon.
It's so fantastic to see the blimp pops while watching the Olympics. Keep up the good work.
