Google Puts Its Red Olympic Mittens On

You may have noticed that it’s Friday. Some people probably have extravagant plans for their two days off, others may be looking forward to being mainly motionless on their sofa.

If you are planning a lazy weekend then there should be lots of sport on the TV courtesy of the Winter Olympics (have you seen it in HD?!). Google might be joining you on that sofa as they have made a page packed with info about the games, from events to maps of the area. Perhaps most impressive is the ability to actually ‘ski’ down the slopes via Street View.

You’re probably wondering how they drove that small Street View hatchback down a ski slope?

Just head on over to Google Winter Olympics page.

More information can also be found on the Google Student Blog.
