The final ten contenders was a real nail bitter. But it all came down to Bilodeau and he came though, right on! The first of many I hope.
CTV ran a commercial about an hour after the event, (the ones narrated by Morgan Freeman, or what sounds ALOT like him) and the narrator congradulated Canada on winning our first gold on home turf. These people really work fast.

There is no official protest but the Australians are claiming that their man really won and that the judges inflated Bilodeau's score. Their man was Canadian born Begg-Smith who now competes for Australia........Nyaa nyaa..........we won, we won......

Bilodeau won, fair and square.. fastest time without deductions, greatest level of difficulty. The Australians can be poor losers.. but i'm glad Bilodeau won over the Australians to settle the score for a couple of upsets by Australia over Canadian favourites, especially in flatwater events, at the last Summer Olympics. And i'm just as glad it was over an expatriate Canadian.

Before we get too carried away regarding complaints out of Australia, we should be more focused on what the skier has to say rather than what the media has to say. This is what our "ex-patriate" had to say:
"I think it was great that Canada won gold and the crowd was really happy with it and everybody went crazy," Begg-Smith said, in a display of graciousness. "We're out there to put on a show.
"Obviously everybody enjoyed what they saw and were really happy with the outcome of it."

They probably had those commercials pre-recorded and ready for broadcast incase we won gold. Even if those aren't pre-recorded it must take alot of talent to do that on the fly (although I doubt that Morgan Freeman, assuming it is him narrating, would be on constant standby to record).
Still, we finaly got gold and ended the drought. That's what really mattered.

We should get a medal or two in Hockey. I just don't know what colour they will be. Either gold or silver I would guess.

Good to see Alex hasn't let all of this go to his head. A class act indeed.
M. Ricker had a great race and it paid off big time for her and this country. Gold #2!
I hope we get a pair of medals in hockey, preferably gold. I don't think we need to be concerned about our women delivering, they've been kicking ass bigtime. Our men on the other hand are under ALOT of pressure to bring the gold, and I think they'll be facing alot more of a challenge than the women.

A Canadian lady speed skater just won another gold medal. In the same race another Canadian missed the bronze by a couple one hundredths of a second
