they were perfect,no losses at all, I saw it, got all choked up.

They did well. It must have been particularly satisfying for Kevin Martin because he beat the team that knocked him out of the Olympics four years ago.

We have a chance for a few more medals. I don't know if we will get more gold.......except for the gold in men's hockey.....:lol:

watching the medal presentations, and I gotta say, the Norway mens curling team look gay. Those pants are just beyond belief. Might be something paradox likes, but it sure as hell doesn't turn my crank.

I love those pants! I think they would look very posh as a bowling team uniform as well. I only hope to one day have cool pants like those!;-)

Do you believe?

Without a doubt, I do. Canada has now tied the record for most gold medals won at the Olympics. Our little country has won more gold medals than any other country at these Olympics and no one can catch us now.

What a fabulous day for our country. Canada absolutely rocks. Way to go! Hooray to our athletes, every single one of them.

Thank you so much. You have come through big time for us.

Apparently the company responsible for making them is experiencing sales that are "on fire." Good marketing! And, the idea for the pants came from one of the Norwegian curling team members.

They seem to be a great group of guys...they were very gracious in the way they played the game today, and in showing their appreciation for winning silver. Ditto for the Swiss in winning bronze.

After the game, Kevin Martin pointed out how difficult it is to win and how proud he was/is to have silver in 2002.

He actually almost looked humble. Well I am glad for him but I am even happier for Johnnie "Mo', Mark and Ben, they won the game for Canada and deserve all the adulation coming their way. Thanks for a really exciting game guys. Congratulations on your Gold.

P.S. John Morris is also the first Olympic curler to win gold in both the Junior and Senior categories. Way to go, John!

I thought he looked quite humble and am quite happy for him. He has always conducted himself as a gentleman on the ice.

the norwegians were great sports, could see the writing on
the wall early, and were feeling some joy for martin
before it was over.
We got a bronze in the four-man bobsled, late in the day.
