QUILTNMO, Thank you from one of your neighbours. We are so proud of our athletes & as a matter of fact, for all of the Olympic athletes, whether medal winners or not. They have all made such huge commitments for the sake of their respective sport & on behalf of their country. What fantastic Olympic games. Kudos to Russia !
GO CANADA GO !!!!!!!!

Bilben 02-23-2014 09:11 AM

Way to go Canada!!! So proud of all of our Olympians!

Kitsie 02-23-2014 09:11 AM

Yay!!!! Was on at 4:00 am here and now sorry I saw the score - will be replayed at 2pm out time! What a grand Olympics for the Canadians! The curling was fascinating and has made me a fan of the strategies, etc it takes to play!

Off to make another cup of tea!!

GEMRM 02-23-2014 10:52 AM

Good One!!!!! :)

Then there was the TV ad ... that Canadians can order their double double in both languages!

fayeberry 02-24-2014 08:31 AM

Congrats! I just love Canada, so beautiful.

oldtnquiltinglady 02-24-2014 09:04 AM

Canada winning was as good as the US winning might have been---I didn't watch much of the "rough" games, but I did watch most of the Olympics and loved it. Took our big screen away from DH for a couple of weeks.....loved both the opening and closing ceremonies.

nancia 02-24-2014 09:26 AM

great job, Canada! you rock!

JanieH 02-24-2014 10:29 AM

Congratulations to our Canadian friends! I applaud ALL the Olympians. Just being there was a wonderful achievement.

Piper 02-25-2014 12:20 PM

Congrats to the Canadian Hockey Team for winning the gold! I am in the USA (so guess who I was rooting for?? haha), but no one can deny that the Canadians played some great hockey and I really enjoyed watching them win. :) Plus, I'm a Pittsburgh Penguin's fan, so it was awesome to watch our star player Sidney Crosby play and win for his home country's team.

Three cheers for Canada....
