The medals for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver have been unveiled. Here is some info on the medals.



- In an Olympic first, each medal will be unique, featuring part of an image cropped from two large master artworks by Corrine Hunt, a Canadian designer and artist of Komoyue and Tlingit heritage based in Vancouver, B.C.



- Also for the first time, the medals are not flat. Instead, they have an undulating surface intended to represent the West Coast landscape of mountains and waves and drifting snow.

I don’t really know what to write about today. The Mavs have their second preseason game of the year, but it is preseason so it doesn’t excite me that much. I will be tuned in though. The Cowboys have a game on Sunday against the Chiefs. That is also not that exciting, but it will be interesting to see how the Cowboys play.

Here is the big news of the day though…wait for it…

After more than a century on the sidelines, golf will return to the Olympics at the Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro. Rugby, last played in 1924, is coming back as well.

Both were reinstated for the 2016 and 2020 Games after a vote Friday by the International Olympic Committee. They are the first sports added since triathlon and taekwondo joined the program for the 2000 Sydney Olympics.



I think this is pretty cool. I’m not a huge fun of rugby, actually, I am not a fan at all, but I would watch the U.S. Rugby team in action. I think it is great that golf is back in the Olympics. I really want to see Tiger win a gold medal.
