They are a great family too. We have farmed near them and been friends long as we can remember. We couldn't breath last night watching his performance. What a guy!

Hard to say what should all be included in Olympic competition......to me,, strength and endurance "were" synonymous with Olympics....not so sure that is the case in every event anymore. Maybe skill partially replaced them.

The amount of work, dedication, and determination these young Canadians demonstrate for four years to get to the Olympics is phenomenal. What character building.

These young people are role models for many other young Canadians, showing that if you put your mind to it you can achieve whatever career you strive for.

Tough to see free style skier Andi Naude fall short on the final run, and still give a great interview.

The benefit of the Olympics can not be measured!

After watching last night I didn't think the gold medal run was as difficult as mcmorris's second run...


But I am not the judge and not there ....
