Torino 2006 (Part 5)

These days I was quite busy so I couldn't post the new google doodles on time. Sorry for that!
The past Google doodles:


Speed skating!

The current Google doodle:


Ski jumping!

Torino 2006 (Part 4)

Unfortunately, my predictions were wrong.



Yes, that's right, bobsleigh!

Also notice that Google has now set up a page showing all the previous Google doodles for this event: 2006 Winter Olympics Doodle

Anyway, as I was wrong for today, I'll keep my predictions for tomorrow:
- Alpine Skiing
- Ice Hockey
- Curling

Torino 2006 (Part 3)

This is getting quite funny. Yesterday I was talking about the page results, which weren't linking to "Torino 2006", but instead to "Torino Games". Well, today, it seems like Google has again changed the keywords into "Torino 2006". Quite funny!

Anyway, here's today's beautiful Google doodle:



As you can see, two people are ice dancing.

...Some predictions for tomorrow's Google doodle:
- Alpine Skiing
- Ice Hockey
- Curling

Well, I hope I'll get it right for one of those 3! We'll see tomorrow.

Torino 2006 (Part 2)

After 2 days of keeping this Google doodle on their frontpage:



...Google has changed his google doodle, also one concerning the Olympic Games in Torino.
Have a look at this very beautiful logo:



Unlike the first time (Torino 2006), the logo is now linking to these page results (Torino games).
As you can see in the new Google doodle, someone is snowboarding. Also notice that the Olympic cauldron has now been lighted up, unlike the previous logo.

We are as much as you looking forward to see the other logos concerning the Winter Olympic Games!

Torino 2006

The XX Olympic Winter Games are currently being held in Torino ("Turin"), Italy from February 10 to February 26, 2006. It is the second time that Italy has hosted the Olympic Winter Games, as it hosted the VII Olympic Winter Games in Cortina d'Ampezzo in 1956, and the third time overall that Italy will have hosted an Olympic Games, as it also hosted the Games of the XVII Olympiad in Rome in 1960.

Google made a beautiful doodle for this event:


The logo is linking to these page results.

An altlete, made of ice (representing the Winter Games), is holding a torch in his hand. In real life it looks like this:

Now, the athlete is passing the torch to a woman.

At the right; this is the Olympic cauldron. The tower with the Olympic Fire is 57 metres high with five tubes stretching towards the sky, a construction that is one of the highest ever built for an Olympic Game!
Again, in real life, it looks like this:

Very nice design in my opinion.

That's about it!
