This photograph is a pretty accurate depiction of what I actually looked like when Canada won the gold. This is saying a lot since, I don’t normally get into sports, nor even like hockey for that matter – I find it too chaotic, and rushed. Soccer (football) is more calculated, I feel like its more of a strategical game than ‘lets throw our bodies, sticks, arms, legs in the path of the puck, and hope it goes into the net’.

In the end, I got pretty into the whole Olympic spirit. I watched way too much sports, and even a couple times, watched it online at the office. I only regret missing the biathlon – something about skiing and shooting rifles just seems right to me :D

In the end, Canada beat the record for “Most gold medals at any winter Olympics” with 14. The crowning achievement was the hockey game between Canada/USA. When we finally won – lets just say the American players didn’t look too happy. After that – there were some pretty funny comments on Twitter & Facebook – but the one I loved the most was last night. I was watching TV and my housemate had Entertainment Tonight on. They did a quick segment on the olympics, and finished it off by saying “USA wanted to win the gold, but Canada had to” – *insert sarcastic crybaby emoticon here*
