A short one this time...
I admit that I leapt to my feet shouting victoriously when Alexandre Bilodeau won Canada it's first Olympic Gold on home soil, but a day later...
It's really nothing more than a Gold - cool and pride worthy as it is. More than anything its a monkey off our national back. I even felt pretty much inevitable that it would happen during these games - or is that just me? Its good it happened early in the games so that one more level of pressure is off our athletes.
A couple of side bars:
It was almost as sweet to see that prick Dale Begg-Smith pout his Silver medal win. What a knob.
As of this writing, we have four medals in three (still incomplete) days - which is roughly on track to tieing our biggest medal count. That is slightly misleading as more medals get awarded later in the competition.
