Official Statement from Jan Marko

Monday, August 4th, 2008

I regret to inform you that I will not be staying at the Base Camp Village with the rest of the teams. I will be staying at my private yacht on the Thornapple River. I will still be competing each day and will hope to drop in on the Base Camp kiddies some day this week.

In the meantime, the games continue. Go Skandalnavia!

-Jan (pronounced “Yon”) Marko

Day 1: The Torch-bearer’s Journey ends

Monday, August 4th, 2008

The first events of today were the opening ceremonies, in which we watched the trying journey of the torch-bearer. Through suffering and great trials he bore the torch, never straying from the path or giving up. Finally his path lead him here, where he at last lit the flame.

We were introduced to the two teams that will be competing: The Cascadian Team and the Skandalnavian team (with a country name like that, it’s no surprise that they look like a tough crowd).

But that’s not all that happened during the day…
