Well... the Winter Olympics ended tonight and (I may be biased but) I think it was a phenomenal success. I don't know how well the games are playing out in other countries, but there has been an unprecedented sense of national pride demonstrated across Canada... for good reason:
After a couple hiccoughs at the start, things went smoothly (in spite of uncooperative weather).
Energetic supportive fans at every event.
Canadian Record for most medals in a Winter Olympics.
Most Gold medals ever for the host country in a Winter Olympics.
Record for the most Gold medals by any country at a Winter Olympics... ever. :thumbup1:
...
Plus of course the most important wins of all (for us): Gold in Men's and Women's Hockey. (That Men's Gold medal game going into overtime was tense though... :sigh: ).
