The time has come and gone and we must wait yet again for the Olympics. What a great 2 weeks it has been, Canada did awesome! We took home 14 Gold medals, the most any host country has won on home soil. Here are some of my fav moments from the past 2 weeks!
The Opening Ceremonies, they were really nice and I loved the parade of athletes! I also really liked how they brought the athletes in early so they could enjoy the games, usually the parade is towards the end.
Jon Montgomery, what can I say but I think he was the happiest gold medalist ever! What I love about him is his story, he decided a few years ago he wanted to be in the Olympics, then he chose the coolest sport and started training! How cool is that!
I love figure skating, and I loved that Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir from Canada won gold in it! There performance was amazing, and these two have amazing chemistry! I was so happy when they won, and I think they were too!
Joannie Rochette, what an inspiration to all! Her mother passed away the second Sunday of the Olympics and Joannie was to skate on Tuesday, she decided to stay and dedicate her skate to her mother, and what a fantastic job she did! She won bronze, and deservedly so!
Do I even have to say anything?! Canada's Men's Hockey team won GOLD! What a game it was, but in the end we prevailed and it was a perfect ending to a perfect 2 weeks!
Some honourable mentions go to:
Petra Majdic - Slovenian Cross Country skier. During practice she slipped off the track and fell 5m in a ditch. She broke 2 ribs and punctured a lung, but she insisted on racing...in sever pain she competed and won bronze! The first metal in this category for her country and there only one during this winter Olympics. Now that is courage and strength!
The Norwegian Men's Curling Team and there pants! Everyone was talking about the pants, and in some way there pants brightened these Olympic games, and I am sure will not be forgotten anytime soon!
I also loved the closing ceremonies, it embodied everything Canadian, even if we are made fun of it! I loved the inflatable moose and beavers and music and loved seeing Micheal J Fox speaking about being Canadian. What a great way to end it all!
What were your fav moments and what will you always remember from the 2010 Olympic Games?
