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
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*
