Utah State University• Logan, Utah • www.utahstatesman.com A decade later: Reflectionson the SLC Olympics BY DREW VANDYKE staff writer With February marking the 10-year anniversary of the 2002 Winter Olympics, USU students have taken a look back on when the world came to Salt Lake City. Even though many were just children, the memories they hold are still prevalent in their minds. Some remembered the debut of women's bobsledding, the commemorative Olympic berets or the controversies over figure skating, and others recalled their personal experiences from a decade ago. For Danielle Olsen, a junior majoring in piano pedagogy, the 2002 Olympics provided an opportunity for her to see the world. As a 13-year-old, Olsen was intro­ duced to cultures she said she may have never experienced otherwise. Although she attended multiple events with her family, Olsen said the Paralympics - Olympic games for athletes with disabilities - had the greatest impact. "The Paralympic hockey match was the most inspiring - especially for me at that age," she said. "It showed that people can do amazing things when they have more • See OLYMPICS, Page 6 Ancientspecies named after geology professor

Richard Orcutt, an economics student from Pleasant Grove, was in junior high school at the time of the Olympics. Though he also attended the games, his expe­ rience was not so enjoyable, he said. "I got out of school to see the ski jumping event, but it was so windy that we only saw one person jump," he said. Brady Mathews, a senior in the interior design program, recalled the surprise he felt by the lack of community support. "My family went to the Kazakhstan versus Georgia women's hockey game," Mathews said. "I remember thinking it was a really big deal. But when we got there, the venue wasp't even half­ • way full." Despite initial disap­ pointment, Mathews said he enjoyed the event and even found it educational.

"We got free food every day, and I saw a lot of what people never get to see behind the scenes," she said. "There is a cafeteria underneath the road between the conference center and the tabernacle. It's awesome." Natalie Thatcher, a public relations major, also par­ ticipated in Olympic events. Along with her friends and younger sister, she performed in both the opening and clos­ ing ceremonies. "Our performance at Rice Eccles Stadium was choreo­ graphed by Kenny Ortega, who also choreographed 'High School Musical,"' Thatcher said. "We had so many rehearsals that went all day, outside, in the freez­ ing cold. My sister cried every time we had to go to practice." When she wasn't perform­ ing, Thatcher said she would watch the events from home. "I was so into the Olympics that I watched every event on TV," Thatcher said. "I was such a Michelle Kwan fan and it broke my heart when she took third place." In contrast to Richardson's and Thatcher's involvement with the Olympics, USU alumnus Brad Henrie said he wishes he'd taken advantage of the opportunity. "I look back and realize that it's never going to hap­ pen again," he said. "A once­ in-a-lifetime opportunity happened 40 miles away, and I didn't do anything about it." u ..... - [email protected] (j

HOCKEY

•) From Page 8 Hockeyto face HuskiesFriday goals and 36 assists. Utah State will be short on the defense side, however, without Ty Johns, who suffered a leg injury against the University of Colorado. The Aggies will need production out of their young defensive staff to make up for the loss of their assistant captain. On the offensive end, the Aggies will be without Tyler Mistelbacher and Matt Hamilton who have sat a majority of the games since coming back from the break. In goal for the Huskies will be Danny Dougan, who has a 3.42 GAA and a .90 save percentage. The Aggies and the Huskies will face off at 7 p.m. at the Eccles Ice Center.
