Some people are just never happy.
I think every country aims to at beat or at least meet their medal count from the last olympic. Canada did not quite do that. Less gold, as well as less over all medals then we got four years ago. So the critics are....criticizing. (FYI, I am talking about Canadian critics.).
Personally, I am very proud of how our athletes performed.
I hope everyone is proud of their countries athletes. Not just the ones that got medals. Some of the greatest shows of sportsmanship did not include receiving a medal. (Examples: Canadian coach giving a ski to someone from another country so he could finish the course; Shaun White showing true congratulations for someone who beat him, in something white was expected to win.)
I am proud of how far ahead we are in medal races then we were eight and more years ago. But I'm glad that with the medals, we mostly still are Canadian and acting like Canadians.
Anyone know what topic was trending in Canada on twitter yesterday? #hardtotrashtalksweden
Trending in Sweden? #hardtotrashcanada
And THAT makes me proud to be Canadian.
I hope everyone is proud of their athletes because I think every country has something to be proud of.
