Closing ceremonies

The closing ceremonies this year weren't so great. Canada is so lucky to have such great performers like Celine Dion, who sang at the 1996 Olympic games, why not at the 2010 Olympics where the athletes performed so well? And what about the Cirque Du Soleil? Every body loves them for their crazy acts, it would have been so great. To go back to my original point, I was really disappointed in the performers there. They could have sung songs that were somehow related to the Olympic theme. Michael Buble's performance was totally inappropriate, the girls on stage weren't showing a very good representation of Canada, on top of that there are many children watching this, would you want your children to think its alright to go on stage wearing very small clothes and show your half naked body to the world? Something i did like about the closing ceremonies was when the Russians came and performed a really nice and classy dance. Hopefully the closing ceremonies will be forgotten soon enough.

GOLD! CANADA! GOLD!

Did you know that Canada has earned 14 gold medals so far?

Did you know that no other country in the history of the Olympics has had that many gold medals? Canada ought to be proud of its athletes because it is their spirit and determination that has brought Canada to earn so many gold medals. I think maybe the Canadian athletes have worked even harder this year to earn a medal just because the games were in their country and they want the country to be proud of them, well its worked because every body is proud and excited about how this year's Olympics are going.

GO CANADA GO

Neighboring countries: battle of the century

The hockey game between Canada and the United States was amazing--and i don't even like hockey. Usually when i watch hockey, i get bored because it seems like the players aren't playing for real, not showing us their real potential to work as a team. However last nights game was full of action and excitement. Both teams were always so close to making a goal, they had me sitting on the edge of my seat! The Canadian team had such good teamwork, and when Sydney Crosby scored the wining goal, i think all of Canada was jumping and screaming, out of happiness and pride. What disappointed me was the fact that the American team looked so angry about not winning the game. When the medals were being distributed they all had a frown, and barely any of them said anything. I think that they should be overexcited to just be in the Olympic games and be able to brag about it later. Second place means that you are just a hair under the world champions, that should make someone feel really good about themselves.

Jesse Jay Anderson

Jesse jay is a professional 34 year old athlete, father of two girls and the gold medalist in the 2010 winter Olympics in snowboarding. Young snowboarders look up to this man not only because of his win at this years Olympics, but also because he won almost everything you can win in snowboarding competitions! He's won; overall World Cup crowns, world titles, 58 podium finishes in 205 career World Cup starts. He was just about to put his board away, but with the Winter Olympics being right there in his backyard, he felt he had to do it one more time. Once a winner always a winner, that's what Jesse Jay taught us during his performance.
