Every since I head Jack was going to try and go to the 2010 Olympic Opening Ceremony, I was wondering if anyone was going to try and follow him up there. ESPNLosAngeles.com's Ramona Shelburne did just that and traveled with Jack on his trip to Vancouver, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous of Ramona.

But good for Johnson. Every time I've watched the Olympic Opening Ceremony, I've wondered what it would be like to walk with my fellow countrymen in the largest of arenas of the world. Now Jack will have a memory that he'll be able to keep forever. Follow Jack's journey over on ESPNLosAngeles.com. I'll post more stuff as I come across it tonight...
