Breakwood Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I love the small teams in the Winter Olympics. It seems when watching the Summer Olympics opening ceremonies, the teams stretch on forever. For the Winter Olympics even the powers like Germany, Russia and Sweden the teams seam so manageable.

So you get a good deal of French in any opening ceremony.
