They're trying to make a 'big event' of the Winter Olympics over here; I'm not sure how well it's being received in general, but the fact we have just won our first ever medal in a 'snow' event may help matters.
That fact pretty much sums up why traditionally it's never been seen as a 'significant' sporting event. Despite how far North we are (I live about on the same latitude as Winnipeg), we don't really get the conditions necessary to be good at Winter Olympic sport.
Still, we're there I suppose, and we're trying! :)
