Congratulations, Canada. Well done.
YeeHaw!
Congrats to Team Canada!!! Especially loved the two ice hockey wins! Now to take the Stanley Cup. What an awesome hat trick that would be!
ha ha ha. The last picture really made me laugh. Sorry.
I'm happy about Canada and Russia winning so many medals :) And it's nice seeing small countries in the top twenty as well, because that doesn't usually happen at summer Olympics
Congratulations Canada! All that hard work paid off!!
Congratulations to Canada and all of your fabulously talented Olympians! The USA is proud to call you a neighbor! xox
Congratulations to all of these incredibly talented men and women whose names I've already forgotten now that the Olympics are over (at least I'm honest).
Congratulations to all the medaled and non medaled athletes that competed in this years Olympics. And special congrats to those that won the gold silver and bronze and brought them home to Canada.
Nice summary..Congrats to Canada..
Yay us!
Yeah...you guys rocked. Sorry, it's true! ;)
Oh, being a Canadian, I can so identify with this post. I LOVE it! It was a great Olympics, certainly full of wild emotions! Thanks for pulling in the highlights!
Wait, the Olympics were on!!!
I am laughing at the "sorry" part because I have not written much on my blog about the olympics because I don't want to offend anyone that is not a Canadian reader! Inside I am doing a happy dance.
A GREAT BIG HAPPY CONGRATULATIONS! I'm glad Canada did so well. Y'all kicked butt and took Gold.
Congratulations to Canada and its awesome athletes! :). I watched as Jennifer Jones helped her team win the gold. It was wonderful.
Yepeeeee ;o) I'm not sorry! LOL! ;o)
Ha ha. Love the sorry stuff. I tried curling once and didn't like it. HOWEVER After seeing the men's curling team I'm thinking I may give it another try. :)
Congratulations to Canada from Finland! Great games!
Our team & highlights: https://www.facebook.com/OlympicTeamFinland
incl. lots of Teemu - oh sorry, sorry!
I have to confess, I barely watched it. But I enjoyed the women ice hockey finale.
congratulations..they were wonderful..you kicked our asses and I know that must have felt good..hah...I"m so ashamed of our mens hockey, who did not have the grace to be good sports in losing, to the point they threw the game for bronze..you did good.
Hey Heli -- Teemu Selanne is my favourite NHL hockey player! I love the Finnish Flash and have ever since he was a rookie with the Winnipeg Jets! Yay Teemu!
Hahahhaha...love all the sorry stuff. Yup, we're sorry about not being sorry! We are very proud of all our athletes. Very VERY proud!
The winter olympics does make me feel sorry for the countries with no snow or ice. I heard the Philippines had a team, where do they practice at?
Gloatastic! Sorry.
Big cheers to you guys for kicking butt.
Woohoo!
Eh? just kidding... that was my Canadian humor.
Nice job!
And Charles' lady must REALLY love him, because I saw that photo and I just thought, "Yuck! He'll be all sweaty!"
Congrats Canada. Everyone of the athletes that you highlighted did Canada proud. For this Canada-phile, the double gold in Men and women ice hockey is just the most delicious icing on the cake.
Well done, Canada! :) Congratulations!
Good to see you are such a supporter of your country, Debra. :) Be happy!
Yay awesome tribute!! So enjoyed this..shine on Canada!
Victoria
That's an awesome photo recap! Congrats Canada. :)
What? No photos of the women's hockey team partying on the ice like in 2010?
Hi Dexter -- I certainly hope those girls behaved themselves this time! And conducted themselves like ladies.
Really enjoyed these Olympics Debra! Particularly the curling and the women's hockey! Sorry......
Canadians "own" hockey. They are awesome. Really, who would deny that?
I watched the ice dancing from start to finish. Virtue and Moir were magnificent.
Can't forget that they have another advantage over the Americans: no taxes on the medals.
Well done to Canada!
Good for Canada...I had watched the women's curling, and those Canadian women kicked ass!!
