Let the Games Begin

02/12/2010 by Liz Doyle

The opening ceremony of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games has me stoked! The world’s most talented athletes parading into the stadium carrying their nation’s colors, while the Olympic fanfare resonates off the walls, gives me goose bumps! Seriously, I am a sucker for this stuff.

Well, that and I always love to see what each country will be wearing! For the 2010 Games, iconic sportswear designer Ralph Lauren is in charge of all things Americana for Team USA. He has designed garb for both opening and closing ceremonies, as well as the athlete’s clothes for kickin’ it in Olympic Village. The aesthetic is a preppy and nostalgic blend of navy, red and white with plenty of American flags mixed in and even a reindeer emblazoned sweater for good measure.

What can we expect Team USA to be wearing? Perfectly patriotic, RL’s parade uniform consists of a cotton fleece pant, a navy and red down jacket, a cable turtleneck and a wool hat adorned with the American flag.

Even if you are not a world-class athlete, you can still get in on the Games (and gear) at ralphlauren.com

If you are in Vancouver for the Games, make sure to check out the January issue of SKY for our favorite places to see and eat in the city!

About Sarah Elbert

As executive editor of Delta Sky, Sarah Elbert lassos the best writers she can find to cover the world—as well as contributing some prose of her own. Before coming to Sky, Sarah was editorial director of magazines including Northwest WorldTraveler and Carlson Wagonlit Travel's Postcards. She has been a newspaper editor, a freelance writer and an Associated Press reporter, riding with the White House travel pool (back in the Clinton days) and covering everything from natural disasters to a cat kidney transplant. Sarah has written for The New York Times, the New York Post, the New York Sun—but not the NY Daily News. She now lives in Minneapolis, which she finds lovely and underrated, but does occasionally miss Manhattan and the Staten Island Ferry. Sarah would like to think she could again go backpacking across Europe, and she still loves to travel, but she knows that train has left the station. It's just so much quicker to fly.

About Deborah Caulfield Rybak

Senior editor Deborah Caulfield Rybak interviewed the Who’s Who of Hollywood during her years as an entertainment industry reporter at the Los Angeles Times. She still prefers writing about the arts to almost any other journalistic activity, so it’s a good thing we’ve got her on that beat at Sky. She’s pocketed numerous journalism awards and co-written three books.

But that’s just her journalistic cred: she’s also worked as an FM deejay in Aspen, a speechwriter in Washington and an environmental film festival director in Colorado. She considers herself happiest when she’s out of town—and out of cellphone range. She’s hitchhiked across Kenya, spent the night atop a pyramid in Central America, hovered face-to-mandible with giant manta rays during a night dive in Hawaii and hiked the High Atlas mountains in Morocco. Still left on her to do list: Bhutan and marlin fishing.

About Liz Doyle

After a few years navigating the trenches of New York's fashion scene as a stylist assistant at Harpers Bazaar, fashion editor Liz Doyle is excited to be back in her childhood hometown of Minneapolis. When she isn't scouting the latest trends in fashion and travel, she moonlights at a local Parisian brasserie where she says "welcome" and "enjoy" a lot and occasionally tries to improve her French. Though her foray to the editorial side of the magazine industry is a new one, she welcomes the challenge and can't wait to see what this new adventure holds.

About Amanda Welshons

Associate online editor Amanda Welshons maintains the web and social media presence of Delta Sky. She enjoys using new media and exploring how different platforms enhance the reader experience. Based in Minneapolis, Amanda has several destinations on her bucket list including London, Paris and Sydney. She just spent a blissful week in St. Lucia for her honeymoon, and can't wait for upcoming trips to Chicago, Seattle, Vancouver and New York. When she’s not in the office, she's a pop culture junkie, soaking up as many movies, television shows and magazines as possible.
