We all know the Canadians are selling Olimpic Red Mittens. Now other countries like Italy are selling nice pairs of gloves, etc.. They said that they want Canadians to wear them and show them off in the opening ceremonies, which they did. but there was a problem. Wayne Gretzky couldn't barely hold the tourch with those stupid things on, He had a hard time. I mean, if your gonna make a pair of mittens, atleast make them gloves, you can barely hold an olimpic flame tourch with those stupid things, that is one thing Canada did not realize, they wanted to sacrifice safely instead for profits and marketing of those stupid gloves. Blah!

I believe that old lady was a past Olympian. I would have liked to see gloves as i'd never wear mittens lol but then again they're just a souvenir anyway, and I don't need another pair of gloves lol.

I guess the reason why the Great One had problems carrying the torch was due to the fact that it was raining and he had to hold on to a pick-up truck at the same time. My wife loves the mittens I got for her.

My Father was a torch barer in Sundridge ON and he didn't have much touble. The Torch Barer mittens are different than the one you buy at The Bay. The Barer Mittens have a rubber grip on the palm where the retail ones do not. Not sure what Waynes problem was.
