Go Canada Go...Part 2!

So turns out the BBC did show the whole game. Well done girls on the gold!

Today...I've watched the Canadian Men win gold against the States on Men's Speed Skating Team Pursuit and Anderson stole the Gold from the Austrians in the Snowboarding Parallel Giant Slalom. Right now I'm just waiting for the Men's 4 man bobsled to start in 5 minutes! Canada is 0.45 behind the USA in Silver position...fingers crossed another steal!

In Canada and the States the USA are at the top of the medals table because over all, they have the most medals (currently 35). Here, the BBC have listed the rankings based on the number of gold medals. Currently Canada have 12 and the USA have 8. It is SO nice to see Canada at the top of the medals table!

HERE is the link in case you fancy having a little look and basking in the glory of being at the very top of the Medals Table.

We still have a number of Medals that we're in the running for so 12 may increase. Apparently 13 is the most gold medals one before at a winter Olympics. Could we meet or even better, beat it!

I have really loved keeping up with the Olympics and cheering on my Country(ies). I will be sad to see them over tomorrow but at least I will be able to get some sleep!

Go Canada Go!

Hey Sketti! Oh I am so proud of all our athletes. I thought the closing ceremonies left something to be desired, and I was rather embarrassed by the changes made to the Mountie uniform for the female backup singers and dancers.

I got to watch the third period of the mens' gold medal hockey, but then my connection crapped out and I missed our winning goal in overtime. Boo. I almost thought we weren't going to make it! So glad we did.

Good to see you blogging more... so far I'm doing ok for my new years' resolution of a post per week, only a few misses (and for two weeks my blog was broken).
