A harvest
I've been so far behind in my blogging about Canadian Olympic glory. But the update is: we rock!
There have been...
- ...a few disappointments, like the Canadian men's hockey team losing in the quarter-finals and the Canadian ladies taking home "only" a bronze in Curling
- ...a few agonizingly close calls, like Beckie's 4th place in Ladies XC sprint and Helen Upperton's 4th place in Ladies Bobsled
- ...a few rising-to-the-occasion performances of a lifetime, like Francois Bourque's 4th place in Men's GS and Kelly Vanderbeek's 4th place in Ladies Super G
- ...and an out-of-the-blue, never-even-anticipated, where-the-hell-did-that-come-from result: Gold to Chandra Crawford in Ladies XC sprint
And that is what the Olympics are all about!
Canada is kickin' its best-ever medal total, with more to come! We're on track to show the world that we may just possibly top the medal standings in Vancouver in 4 years' time. Could that really be true?!!

Ahh, it has been fun but I know what you mean about coverage in the US. Although last night we were treated to some Steve Podborski commentary on the aerials!
I foolishly stayed up for the entire ladies figure skating show. I'm soooo tired today, but it was worth it.
