Apparently they can be really quick and will easily chase down a runner or even cyclist if they wanted.
I'm a very gullible tourist. I choose to believe everything.

The sports have begun. There are over 2600 competitors, not all have arrived yet.. The opening ceremony and parade of nations was a choking event. So proud to watch Kelsey marching with the rest of the team.

Bagpipes to lead the parade.

Part of the team. I couldn't get them all in and by no means have all arrived.

Young local kids carried the country sign.

The Mexicans and Brazilians had real team spirit and cheered a lot. Aussies don't have the same level of patriotism,but there were a few obligatory boxing Roos.

There was a Mountie there to lead procession. Geez he was a big guy.

That statement is somewhat sensationalist, to escape a bear you only need to be the second slowest runner in your group.
Stand down for now Trog. [biggrin]
