Just sitting on my sofa her watching the second last event of the Olympics which is the mens 50 KM ski race. Great to watch and as I type this a Canadian is sitting in 4th place. Should be a good finish.
Of course we are all waiting for the final event the Gold Medal hockey game between the U. S. and Canada. It should be a classic. Even though I of course will be cheering madly for Canada we as fans are the winners. These Olympics have turned out to be a huge success. My oldest son managed to get tickets to the bronze medal game last night and said he will never forget the feeling of being there.
They just announced the flag bearer for Canada for the closing ceremonies and it seems it will be Joannie Rochette (pictured above) the figure skater who got a bronze medal. That of course wasn't the story. Her mom died suddenly just after arriving at the games. A lot of athletes would not have been able to continue but Joannie skated and somehow managed to skate brilliantly and with tears in her eyes took the bronze medal behind the great Korean and Japanese skaters. You couldn't help but get choked up watching her skate so its a great choice.
