Our turnout has been no better then past olympics and when our own Olympic Committee comes out and doesn't just suggest we may finish on top of the standings but says we will then yeah Canada has had a poor performance. |
God, you have such a horrible attitude towards everything. |

Yep....I sure do.
How can anyone say we've had a great performance this Olympics? The Canadian athletes have not performed well in a year we were told that Canadians would be on top of the medal count. We have done basically the same as we have in the past 4 Olympics. Why spend all this extra money to have the same performance as every other Olympics?
I feel bad for the athletes who have failed and I feel great for the athletes who have surpassed expectations. The athletes have been put under unfair pressure to perform well...this pressure wasn't put on them by the citizens but by the Olympic Committee. It is clear that psychologically our athletes are not prepared to perform at the highest level. |

She is such a hottie. It's great that so many young people are still getting into curling and curling is really starting to get world wide acceptance. |

I watched the whole of theskating just to see Tessa and Scott then fell asleep!!! I have it recorded though, so happy :)
I don't want the games to end either!! |
I had to force myself to stay awake to watch the final grouping. The americans that finished 3rd I believe gave me goosebumps. They definitely had the best performance in the free program...and they scored accordingly.
Tessa and Scott also gave me goosebumps...their swan move was just amazing....I couldn't help but think this is why ice dancing is the best of the figure skating events. They definitely deserved the second best score for the night and the Gold Medal. |

Ashleigh McIvor's parents met skiing in Whistler... and they claim that at the age of 2, Ashleigh could ski before she could walk...
She was basically conceived to win a gold medal in skiing on that mountain...
