Cultures coming together

So Today was the first day that my venue actually had a race since we kept getting canceled because of weather. I got to stand on top of the grand stand and watch the race with other broadcasters. It was so cool to actually be at an event that was being broadcasted to the entire world. However it was much more of a culture experience today than a media experience which is how most days have been. It was so neat today to hear people yelling and cheering as each skier came down the mountain. The cool thing was people cheered for every skier no matter what country, so it was countries cheering for other countries which I found amazing and thought, see this is how it should be, all the countries just getting along. There were no loud outburst of something not going right or anyone complaining, something we are too used to in the states. Everyone was just happy to be there and just had a good time enjoying a sporting event. So many cultures are in on town up here right now, and yet they seem to be getting a long. Yes there are the few protestors, but the majority is just happy to be up here and experience the games with the rest of the world. This experience has already been incredible!!
