Best Olympic Moments

| 11 Comments | No TrackBacks

My top 5 Olympic moments:

1:  Sidney's goal.

2:  Joannie Rochette holding it together and winning a bronze medal less than a week after the death her mother.

3: Yonge Street at 6 o'clock last night.

4:  Mellisa Hollingsworth appologizing to Canadians for finishing 5th in the women's skeleton.

It was heart breaking to watch but I wont forget it.

5:  Fans breaking into an impromptu rendition of Oh Canada as Kevin Martin was beating

Norway for the curling gold.

And then there's those 14 gold medals.  Most Olympics I've either watched or covered have been considered failures by alot of Canadians and the folks who run our Olympic program.

What happened?  What's wrong?  How do we fix it?

14 gold.  No country has ever won 14 gold medals at any Winter Olympics,  Doesn't seem like there's a whole lot to fix does there?  This has been the single greatest Olympics in the history of Canadian sport.  Let's enjoy before we start disect it.

I saw 3 of the 5 ... that list could grow to a hundred easily. Most ackward moment ... seeing the great one hauled around town in the back of a pickup in the rain !!

Jon Montgomery walking around Whistler chugging beer from a pitcher. How much more Canadian can you get. Honorable mention to the Hockey Girls for swigging beer and smoking stoogies.

Rick. I haven't seen you or talked to you for over 40 years. Now that I finally have a computer, I know where to contact you. If you are interested I would love to have a conversation with you. If you are not that's OK too. Either way, I hope things are well with you.
Regards

Hi Rick. My e-mail address is church@shaw.ca

@Marco I know what your saying there . In todays economy its tough to find a company to work for that pays good and is consistent. I have found that if you just work hard and are consistent you can go places . Look at the poster of this article, they are oviously hard working and have just been consistent over time and are now enjoying at least what would appear as somewhat of a success. I would encourage everyone to just keep hustling and moving forward.

Thanks for an idea, you sparked at idea from a perspective I hadn't given thoguht to before . Now lets see if I can do something with it.

You need to seriously think about building up this site into a dominant authority in this field. You clearly have a grasp understanding of the topics everyone is looking for on this site anyways and you could definitely even earn a dollar or three from some ads. I would explore following recent trends and increasing the amount of articles you put up and I guarantee you'd start receiving some awesome traffic in the near future. Just a brainstorm, good luck in whatever you do!

nice stuff is taking place. i completely keep right here for method too long. your website is superb! don't let anyone try to say otherwise!
