Green Flamingobecause I said so

These Vancouver Olympic Games have been great. The rush of adrenaline through extreme sports, athletes and fans come together to make something extraordinary. I followed many events of the Olympics, though I did not blog about all of them here. As we conclude the Olympics Games here in 2010 I have decided to share some of the outstanding moments that I watched.

Alexandre Bilodeau finally won the first gold medal for Canada at their home games, the cheers were wild! He won in the men’s moguls.

Lindsey Vonn got the gold she had been waiting for to complete  her achievements in women’s downhill. However, she did not come through for gold on the other alpine events.

Shaun White dominated the half pipe competition and had an amazing victory run showing off a new trick which scored a 48.4!

Sorry I have to skip over a week here, I saw many of the events and they were very exciting.

Just today, Canada beat the US for the gold medal in hockey, with Sidney Crosby scoring the winning goal in overtime. Both teams were spectacular and many people said it was the best game they had ever seen.

Tonight and at this moment the closing ceremony is being performed, and it’s much more casual than the opening ceremony was. Canada managed to laugh at their technical error with lighting the Olympic flame in the opening ceremony and this time it worked out for them. Canada says goodbye to everyone and hands the flag to Sochi, Russia, site of the 2014 Olympics. I hope to see everyone then!
