This is a link to a Nenets folk choir (The Nenets, or Nentsy, are a minority ethinc group living in Russia's Far North) performing "We are the champions" as part of Russian TV's Olympic ad campaign:
I couldn't help thinking they recorded that in a studio with a very authentic-looking set behind them. If the snow were real, wouldn't you see their breath, or the breath of the reindeer whey it grunts?
Regardless, it was fun to watch; thanks for posting it.
Keep going - there are several other versions with folk ensembles from different regions!

Ahem, how embarrassing would it be to admit that I had no idea that there was an episode Olympic Games coming up, let alone that they were in Vancouver? Nice logo, though. (And I know that it's an inukshuk. Does that count for something?)
Cool music.
