oh Canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 14 gold metals
![]() wow that hockey game was close. I think the whole nation tuned in for this game. Crosby!!! I watch sports here and there. I'm happy with what we did with speed skating (intense stuff!), figure skating, snow boarding, etc. We got metals in sports that we never got on the podium before. I enjoyed what our gold medal couple, Virtue and Moir, did with Ice Dancing. ....the closing ceremony tonight was excessively pro-Canadian and nationalistic. Afterall we are displaying to the world and not just to our own audiences. I am sure the rest of the foreign athletes and world were dissatisfied. Some of it was for the humor, but some was over the top. I tuned in after 45mins of the start, so maybe I missed the better bits? I did enjoy the openning ceremony though. It was near flawless. Though we cover a large land mass, we really are a small nation population wise. Overall the performers we invited did a awesome job ![]() Vancouver is the most multicultural city in Canada, maybe something was missing with regards to multiculturalism. The Vancouver Olympic Games was a success ![]() |

I enjoyed the Vancouver Olympic games immensely! I think the city of Vancouver and the nation of Canada together did an incredibly good job of hosting the games. Now I want to move to Vancouver!

I thought the opening ceremony was fantastic. Usually they are over the top but this one had real meaning and some wonderful moments.
I like all sports and watched as much as I could. I thought it was particularly good that one country didn't dominate the gold medals and they seemed to be more evenly spread. |

The Opening Ceremony was very grand and magestic! Vancouver did a great job! I adored all the scenery shots of the Vancouver area!! Very cool place!! My favorite sports were the skating and the skiing! Virtue and Moir rocked in their performances on the ice! |

Always been fascinated by the Olympics. This was a nice one.
Watched as much hockey as I could get. The final was a great game. A fair outcome. Wish the US would've won, BUT as a native Pittsburgher, can't complain that Sid Crosby scored the winner- he's Pittsburgh's son now. ![]() -Ernie |

The first ten minutes of the closing ceremony were wonderful -- funny, wry, and a good look at a national sense of humor. I liked the jumping snowboarders, a contrast to Beijing's rigid choreography. Great games, everyone gave their best efforts, lots of memorable performances on all surfaces. Thank you all, Canada.

My husband & I are Olympic junkies, theres still a couple of days worth on good ole Tivo that I haven't watched yet! Obviously there are going to be 'memorable' moments with the medal winners but I was impressed on how many athletes really stepped up & gave their best even though they didn't make the podium!
Canada did a wonderful job! It's hard to remember already, that the start, they had very little snow! |
