Well, after seven years of planning and anticipation, the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games has come to a close. The seventeen day event truly had it all: tragedy, surprise disappointment and triumph. Though I had my Scrooge-ish moments, I admittedly got swept into the excitement of the Games and have never felt more proud to be Canadian. Some outstanding moments, both elating and heartbreaking:
- The unspeakably sad death of Georgian Luger Nodar Kumaritashvili
- Alexandre Bilodeau winning our first Gold on Canadian soil
- Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir's breathtaking performance to win Canada's first ice dancing medal
- Joannie Rochette's courageous skate to bronze days after her mother's death
- Clara Hughes's final skate and final medal
- The success our men's and women's curling teams (and remembering how excited I get about curling!)
- All of our other medals, too numerous to mention, AND all the personal bests achieved
- Kicking Yankee butt in hockey!!!
