My first photo from the closing ceremony. Look at how nice our roof looks during the daytime!

When what's his face and what's her name were warming up the crowd, it was nearly impossible to understand what they were saying.

Far too much bouncing around of sound. People next to me were talking about how they hope with the new roof the sound will be better.

Is it supposed to be? When Furlong and Rogge gave their speeches, however, they could be understood perfectly well.

I found the sound to be terrific during the opening and closing ceremonies, but doing the medal ceremonies it sucked every time. No idea why.

Depends where you were. I had perfect sound... but I was down in the front row in the floor seating.

My theory is that, everything but Ben Mulrooney trying to be funny before the Opening Ceremony was pre-recorded and somehow had better sound. No way Nickelback, etc. were singing live.

And, I've HEARD Avril singing live, there is no way that was her live voice. It didn't sound like a barrel of kittens being massacred.

Alanis and Neil appeared to be singing live.

Buble was definitely lip-syncing.
