One Word

It's gotten to the point where I can't help but laugh. Last night was the most disappointing night in Canadian Olympic history. 4 medal hopefuls, totally tanked and choked. Canada ends up empty handed in what could've been a clean sweep. The U.S continues to massacre the rest. 24 medals already?! Their previous best was in 2002 at Salt Lake with 34 medals. They had 25 in Torino and will probably end up with 40 medals in Vancouver...of all places! Canada beat the U.S. in Nagano, with 15 medals to the U.S.' 13. We performed poorly in Salt Lake but nabbed a nation-high 24 medals in Torino, only one shy of the States. As a result, hopes were high that this would be our Olympics. We pretty much end up in the top 5 in the world every Winter Olympics, but we wanted to be numero uno this time. On home turf. Not to mention the 100 million invested in our athletes this time around.

We currently sit in 5th with a dismal 9 medals. No one expected this. No one. Did our superstars in Torino crack under the pressure in Vancouver? Some of them surely tried too hard and lost on their gambles. And don't get me started on last night's loss against Team U.S.A. Perhaps another miracle on ice is underway? It's gotten to the point where I actually feel depressed. March 1st can't come soon enough...
