| | Posted: | | | | With 13 gold medals Canada has shattered the Winter Olympic record for most Gold by a host nation and at the same time has also tied Russia and Norway for for the most Gold at a single games by any country. Further, with the Gold medal game in hockey tomorrow between Canada and the impressive US squad we may even reach 14. I don't know about you, but the Canadian athletes certainly have exceeded my expectations. Go Canada Go!  | | | | Last edited: by bob9000 |

| | Posted: | | | | Nicely done. Just finished watching the Men's Curling and the awards (was that a bouquet of broccoli they were handing out?  ). The Women's Curling was a heartbreaker but they played wonderfully. If the U.S. isn't participating I always root for Canada. Bravo. | | | | Bad movie? You're soaking in it! |

| | Posted: | | | | Congratulations to Canada, and to all the athletes competing! Everyone deserves a round for the hard work they've put in to get there. Your ice dancers were awesome. | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

| | Posted: | | | | Nice job...they went from no gold medals, when hosting the games, to winning the most for a host country. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
