My Experience as a Volunteer: Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics: February 2010
http://yonemitsu.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 28, 2010. Music Legends to Close. Neil Young, Alanis Morrissette, Avril Lavigne, Michael Buble, Simple Plan and Hedley all helped to close the Games. In an entertaining finish, the Olympic flag was passed to Sochi, the flame was extinguished and Jacques Rogge called the Games "excellent and friendly". What a party for the past 17 days. What a finish - from Alex Bilodeau to Team Canada (hockey), we were mezmorized with our flag and nation. Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone. I watched ...

My Experience as a Volunteer: Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics: Canadian Gold
http://yonemitsu.blogspot.com/2014/02/canadian-gold.html
Monday, February 24, 2014. Over this past five day stretch, Sochi 2014 and Team Canada captivated the country. With yesterday's closing ceremonies being the only thing that has been able to stop the Canada medal run, its hard to find excitement in the office today. BTW - did any work get done last Thursday and Friday in Canada? Finally, here is a video compilation of the reaction across Canada after the Canadian Mens' hockey team beat the Swedes to win the gold medal. Part 2 - when Sidney scored and Cana...

My Experience as a Volunteer: Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics: Back Blogging About the Olympics
http://yonemitsu.blogspot.com/2014/02/back-blogging-about-olympics.html
Tuesday, February 11, 2014. Back Blogging About the Olympics. During the last Winter Olympics in Vancouver, I had the great opportunity to work for VANOC (Organizing Committee), with the medical team, right in the Olympic Village. As I wanted my sons to live the experience with me, I started writing this blog. Well, it is now four years later and the Sochi Olympics are in full swing, so I thought, why not write a few more pieces for this blog? Will anyone read it? Who knows. Who cares.

My Experience as a Volunteer: Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics: The Beginning of Something New
http://yonemitsu.blogspot.com/2010/03/beginning-of-something-new.html
Tuesday, March 2, 2010. The Beginning of Something New. Hard to believe but my blog has been popular. This was originally intended as a way of sharing my experiences with my sons. When CMC-Canada heard about it, they thought our members might find it interesting. Then the Richard Ivey School of Business added it to their Olympic blog site. I hope this blog will morph into a source for information and a important communication vehicle for our members and firms in our industry. For the new readers, welcome.

My Experience as a Volunteer: Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics: What a Game!
http://yonemitsu.blogspot.com/2014/02/what-game.html
Friday, February 21, 2014. It wasn't quite Vancouver 2010 like, but it was still great. Today's game between Canada and the USA was everything expected. Yesterday's women's game between Canada and the USA was more than expected. Work stopped. Phones went quiet. Everyone was clustered around televisions and computer screens. It has been two great days of the country coming together. It wasn't Vancouver.but I suspect not too many things in this world will ever be like that.but it was great.

My Experience as a Volunteer: Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics: Bilodeau Does It Again
http://yonemitsu.blogspot.com/2014/02/bilodeau-does-it-again.html
Tuesday, February 11, 2014. Bilodeau Does It Again. Best stories of the Vancouver Olympic Games was when Alex Bilodeau became the first Canadian ever, to win gold on home soil. Making the story even better was his close relationship with his brother, Frederic, which was so evident as Bilodeau celebrated his win. Great things happen to great people. Congratulations Alex and Mikhael. Glenn Yonemitsu, CMC, MBA. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Read about things in the mind of the CEO.

My Experience as a Volunteer: Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics: Silver is the Olympic Golden Spirit
http://yonemitsu.blogspot.com/2014/02/silver-is-olympic-golden-spirit.html
Friday, February 14, 2014. Silver is the Olympic Golden Spirit. When Denny Morrison won silver in the 1,000m speed skating event the other day, the real winner was Gilbert Junio. Ironically, the Norwegian team finished fourth, which meant that his goodwill may have cost his country a medal. When Morrison won the silver medal, it made Junio appear brilliant and someone with great premonition. It also made Morrison want to share his medal with Junio. Glenn Yonemitsu, CMC, MBA. I Heard the Best Line. View m...
