That's All She Wrote

Well, another Winter Olympics has come and gone, and what a great Olympiad it was for Canada (apart from men's hockey). We finished 3rd overall with a [Canadian] record high of 24 medals, only one off Canada's predicted 25 medals.

As we prepare for the Olympics to come to Canada in 2010, The Canadian Olympic Committee has created a program entitled Own the Podium. The essence of the program is to win the most medals in 2010. The first part of the program laid out a plan to finish in the top 3 in Torino - which is exactly what Canada did. And owning the podium in 2010 looks like a real possibility as Canada had 45 top 5 finishes in Torino.

I am looking forward to the next four years: It will be an extremely unique experience to watch my home prepare for the Winter Olympics.
