As I watch a previously recorded version of the closing ceremony to a brilliant London Olympics (much better than the opening ceremony in my opinion), I am reminded that we have six years until South Korea hosts the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang.  One wonders what to anticipate as far as opening ceremonies and mascots for the 2018 Winter Olympic Games…Any thoughts?

Unfortunately we have to say goodbye to London Olympic Mascots Wenlock and Mandeville. They can go back to doing eyedrop commercials and rudely staring at Londoners.
