Watched Global TV (Channel 11) on Feb. 11. The coverage on the relay runners was minimal. Really liked the Grouse Mtn. section with the Torch relayers riding on top of the Gondola. Why not more coverage on Karen Magnusson? She is a 1973 World’s gold medalist winner and a silver medalist in the 1972 Olympics – she carried Canada’s flag in those Olympics. Karen also competed in the 1968 Olympics. She was born in Vancouver, grew up in North Vancouver. Has an arena named after her there, and was responsible for the $500,000 Foundation set up for young figure skaters. Also the Olympic song “I Believe” (sung beautifully by… can’t spell the girl’s name) that has brief video shots on Canadian Olympic winners; i.e. Barbara Ann Scott and Elizabeth Manley – the two other Figure skaters that won medals (especially B.A Scott-she got gold) BUT KAREN IS NOT IN THIS VIDEO vignettes – among other things – this is disgraceful! She must be really hurt.

Agree with you Audree!
But also what is disgraceful is the fact that our dear Mr. Campbell had to invite some american (Arnold schwarzenegger) to carry the torch. Furthermore lets try to remember about how Mr. schwarzenegger was very not very supportive of our film industry!
We could not find any other canadian to carry instead of him? UNBELIEVABLE!
