newfy 695 Report post Posted February 28, 2010 With Canada sealing the deal on the hockey game they set a record for most golds at a single Olympics. What a fitting way to set the record, proving hockey belongs to Canada with Gold in both men's and women's. A great day to be Canadian. And before anyone brings up the USA medal count, yeah we get it you guys were the 1st loser and the second loser more then us but we have the most gold which is what really matters!

dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted February 28, 2010 Curling shouldn't count as a sport, though, so that lessens the feat somewhat. What? Curling is not only the 2nd best thing about the Winter olympics, but Sweden also beat Canada in the women's curling final. However, Women's hockey shouldn't be in the Olympics that's a free gold for canada. And I'm not sure exactly where canada got most of their golds, but I feel like all the different snowboard events have been very dominated by canada and the US. there are constantly these new sports being added to the olympics, making it easier and easier to get a high medal count, especially for the big countries like US and Canada.

The last two times they hosted the Olympics in fact. 1976 in Montreal and 1988 in Calgary. Both rousing successes for Canada. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Uhm, hockey belonged to Canada when they didn't win the gold. This notion of proving hockey belongs to Canada by defeating a team that has a rather large portion not even interested much in it, to me, reeks of insecurity, not pride. I'm definitely proud of Canada for what they did -- it was an outstanding olympics for them especially as a host nation, but I think I should note the behavior I see and the roots of it.

YOU WON OLYMPIC GOLD?????!!!!????? Wow, congratulations. I know personally if I trained my whole life for a sport and won any olympic medal, I would be ecstatic...kinda like Michaels Phelps who says he appreciates his silver and bronzes just as much as his golds.
