Final round of ski jumping on right now.  About half way through jumpers.  Jumpers are now at 104 meters distance and the hill safe distance is 106 meters.  They may be restarting round if they have to move the gate down again as the best jumpers are yet to come.

Vancouver protest turns violent

Anti-Olympic protesters are clashing with police on the streets of Vancouver on the first full day of the 2010 Winter Games. As tensions escalate, police have taken out what looks like machine guns.

Vancouver Police say a group of more than 200 masked protesters have amassed in the downtown core, kicking and vandalizing cars and businesses. Lions Gate Bridge has been shut down in both directions.

Organizer Harsha Walia says there were several hundred protesters gathered in the downtown and witnesses say the windows of the HBC Olympic superstore were smashed.

Riot police in bright yellow vests moved in to break up the protest, and bicycle police have formed a line across one of the main streets in the downtown, and aerial cameras showed officers arresting some protesters.

The protesters, shouting obscenities and dressed in black, are marching up Georgia Street, pushing over mail boxes and newspaper boxes. At least one woman has been taken away by police.

The protesters appear to have abandoned all pretense of promoting any political agenda. Obscenities dominate their screams. A hooded protester determined to provoke the police fell down. As police moved in to hand cuff him, he pulled out a camera and started taking photos of the police. Police finally mobilized with batons and hard helmets.

A group of around 75 protesters broke off and turned down a side street. But they appeared lost and unsure what to do. Their lead drummer started up again. But the energy appeared to slip away. They began chanting "Our streets" but the chant quickly died down.

A bystander shouted out a comment. Four men in black tuques and black masks jumped on him. Other marchers pulled them off and they continued on their way. No police were around.

What a shame the protesters turned violent, looks like some people will do anything to get their message across. But instead of getting their message across it all gets lost in the violence
