>>>> It is really odd, mabye they should hire better announcers that can keep it focused on sports...the announcers could have used that time to talk about what Icelandic people have done for centuries, riding Icelandic horses, which is a sport.
Based on the different blurbs for the different countries...and based on how much Iceland plays up the drinking and partying in their own ads, I suspect that Olympic blurb was approved by the Icelandic tourism industry. Most of the other countries DID have sports-related comments in their blurbs, and you'd think that a country with "ice" in its name would take the Winter Olympic sports at least a little seriously.
