Golden day for Canada!
March 1, 2010 in Stuff that's RAD
The Winter Olympics in Vancouver have sadly come to an end after two weeks of exciting events. Even though we didn’t achieve our goal of owning the podium, there is still a reason to celebrate:
“…Canadian athletes won 14 gold medals in Vancouver – twice as many as the team won in Turin, and more than any nation has ever won at a Winter Olympics. The previous record for gold medals was 13, set by Norway in 2002 and the Soviet Union in 1976.”
Also, the memories of weird mascots, drunken people from all around the world in downtown Vancouver, the opening ceremony cauldron fail, praying for more snow…
All in all, it was just great to see a nation come together and cheer on our Canadian atheletes – you can’t help but feel that sense of patriotism. Congratulations to all of the medalists! GO CANADA GOOO!
