after all it is in Vancouver....kind of wish i could be there right now...
wanted to get the Canadian sweater but its all sold out :(
but at least i got some mittens :)
i think the Olympics have definitely brought this country together cuz normally Canadians are necessarily known for our patriotism ...i think it tends to overshadowed by our neighbours to the south....
but this time...its different...the games are at home and its definitely time to bring it out ....
although our medal counts are never overly impressive, its still a great time to honor all our athletes as they work much harder than athletes in other countries that have great support systems in to develop their athletes....
Canadian athletes have to work and train , while most athletes in other countries simply just train because training is their job...
the fact that Cdn athletes are as successful as they is simply amazing...i cant imagine holding down a job and training for the Olympics at the same time...
i wish we had a better system in place to support our athletes because people are quick to judge medal counts, however we often fail to look deeper and understand why such a big country like Canada just cant seem to rack in the medals like our neighbours....
but regardless, theres not a better time to be Canadian :)
tonight...Mens Hockey- Canada VS United States....o its gona be good....
