The Vancouver 2010 Olympics were very momentous for Canada … Not only did we win Gold for the first time on Canadian soil, but we won 14!!! the most Gold medals won by any country at an Olympics and and Host Country also! Our first Gold came from Alexandre Bilodeau in Men`s Moguls and ended with the Men`s Hockey Team defeating the USA … overall we were 3rd place for total medals behind the USA and Germany … most people blamed the Government for the whole ``Own the Podium`` for almost jinxing our athletes, however i think that coming out on top in terms of Gold medals means that we did Own the Podium … especially in the Women`s 2-person Bobsleigh where we took Gold & Silver!!
The sights of all Canadians celebrating in the streets and being so ``un-Canadian`` was beautiful to behold!! Throughout the 17 days of the Olympics i have never felt more proud to be Canadian.
The closing ceremonies we`re nothing short of spectacular with the nod to Russia and the 2014 Winter Olympics. I loved that Canadian Celebrities came out to pay homage to their place of birth! and they couldn't`t have said it better …
I AM CANADIAN!! Catherine O`Hara : ``We`re Sorry!`` 
I AM CANADIAN!! William Shatner We Dream Big!! 
I AM CANADIAN!! Michael J Fox : ``We Will Claim You!`` 
I AM CANADIAN!! Micheal Buble!! 
MADE IN CANADA!! Awesome! 
This is definitely a Winter Olympics I will personally never forget! Thank you to the world for coming to play and allowing us to host these unforgettable winter games!! It's been a great 17 days see you in 4 years!
