Let The Games Begin

On the eve of the Opening Ceremonies of the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy, we'll look at the Olympic experience from the Athlete's Village to rinks, slopes and tracks that will set the stage for 16 days of sub-freezing competition. We'll also talk about the big events, the shining stars and the athletes from NH who will be going for the gold.

Laura's guests are John Morton, commentator for Vermont Public Radio and author of Medal of Honor: An Insider Unveils the Agony and Ecstasy of the Olympic Dream. John has participated in seven Olympic games as an athlete, coach, biathlon Team leader and Chief of Course for biathlon events for the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake. We'll also be joined by Vin Sylvia, Deputy Managing Editor of Sports for the Union Leader and New Hampshire Sunday News.
