Today marks the opening ceremonies of the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in PyeongChang, Korea. If you’ve been up since 5:30am watching the coverage, you know the world is excited for the games!
The games run from February 9th to February 25th. And will take place in PyeongChang, a county of South Korea. It’s located in the Taebaek Mountains region. It’s home to several Buddhist temples, and is only 180 km east southeast of Seoul, South Korea’s capital.
Walking around our stores, the excitement of the games is evident in the conversations of our team members and that excitement is only going to grow with our medal count!
Counting Down to Favourite Events
Curtis in Tottenham is looking forward to the Luge and Skeleton runs, while Tadd in Uxbridge can’t wait for the Bobsled! While hard pressed to pick a favourite myself, I’m stoked for Curling and the aerial acrobatics of the Freestyle event. From the Nordic Combined, Giancarlo’s favourite event, to Brian’s preferred Ski Jumping, there’s a little something for everyone. Our HR team is split. Julia prefers Figure Skating, while Jessica loves the fast pace of Speed Skating. While many of the rest of the team like Mike and Kate simply can’t choose a favourite!
All the sports are invigorating to watch, and no one wants to miss a minute! And we all know we’ll be glued to the television as a nation to watch the Gold Metal games for Men and Women’s Hockey; events both Lisa J. and Nigel are stoked for.
