We own the podium!

After an amazing 17 day journey the Olympics have come to an end. Who could ever imagined that these games would have touched so many people from coast to coast. Where do you even begin? From tragedy to triumph to the renewed sense of patriotism and the emotional roller coaster that the athletes journeys took us on...it will be something nobody in this great nation will forget anytime soon. 

Globe and Mail columnist Stephen Brunt's Olympic Montage sums up the games wonderfully. I urge you to watch this video if you haven't seen it already.

My top five favorite moments of the Games:

(1) Sidney Crosby's overtime goal to win the gold medal

(2) Alex Bilodeau winning the first gold medal on Canadian soil

(3) Joannie Rochette's strength and perseverance in the face of tragedy

(4) Jon Montgomery's gold medal win and his truly Canadian celebration walk through Whistler with beer in hand

(5) Kristi Richards  getting up and finishing her run after crashing in the moguls to show her sportsmanship and class

I'd love to hear what memories you have from the games!
