Yesterday, the winter Olympics Game in Vancouver came to an end. Although Canada didn't meet its objective to be the leader in total medal counts, we all have reasons to be proud of what our athletes have achieved. First of all, our men and women managed to win gold medals on our own home soil, starting with Alexandre Bilodeau, a mogulist. Secondly, Canada has become the country which won the most gold medals (14) in a winter Olympic Games!
Obviously, I do have a bias, because there are events that I enjoy watching more than others (especially hockey). Anyway, here are some nice stuff that I'll keep in my memories for ages:
Unlike the American male hockey team who couldn't win the gold medal in Salt Lake City (on their own home soil, mind you), our team convincingly won it! Of course, I would lie to you if I write that...
