I was in GM Place hearing the announcement live. Jack Rogge took AGES to say "Vancouver" - I think he had trouble with the envelope or something. The suspense in the auditorium was unbelievable.
Whenever they play back that clip in news segments now, they always edit out the big pause so it sounds like one smooth sentence:
"The 2010 Winter Olympic games are awarded to...Vancouver".
It was more like:
"The 2010 Winter Olympic games are awarded to...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...FON-Coo-Fur".
and we all had to double-take to see where he meant because his accent made it sound so different. There was a millisecond pause while we all computed...and then, INSANE screaming all around!
