I think I missed the mark in my previous independent clause in no.3, so here is another try:

3. Many people will be watching the Winter olympic Games from Vancouver and a lot of players will be going home with medals.

UZMA: #2--this is an independent clause; #3--this is a partial phrase (it doesn't make much sense on its own).
MAYA: #1--good; #2--another phrase--no active verb or subject; #3--Yes, a good correction, but check the punctuation;-)
