Sorry I haven't been able to check back yet Had a late night, 113 new emails, parents in town for the rest of the weekend... hectic!

I'm glad to report I was able to watch the women's Canada vs USA game on the airplane home last night, and the whole entire plane erupted in cheers when we got the gold!

The men won their game last night, so the gold medal game against the USA will be on Sunday. To be quite honest, I don't think we stand a chance

I've been watching the curling and that's interesting. I finally had to look up the rules so I could understand it better. Canada's done very well and will probably take the gold in that as well.

I watched curling on Youtube so I could understand it. It's very interesting!

We took gold tonight in men's curling Lost last night and only got silver in women's curling. For never winning gold before at Olympics at home, we are now TIED for the most golds ever won at a home Olympics! We are leading right now in gold medals, but third place for overall medals. Tomorrow afternoon is Canada vs. USA in men's hockey for the gold. I'm pretty sure USA will win, but I have my fingers crossed anyway
Did any of you hear about Russia's president canceling his trip to Vancouver for the closing ceremonies? Apparently he was upset about the Russian hockey team not doing very well (they are usually a very strong team... Ovechkin plays for Russia and he is one of the top players in the NHL right now). Canada beat them badly last week, and he is so upset he won't even come anymore.

Oh yeah, I just want to say I'm so glad I know so many nice Americans, because last week I finally experienced a group of Americans that gives you guys such a bad rep to the rest of the world We were all at the bar at our hotel watching the USA vs Canada game, with a whole bunch of other Canadians. A group of Americans sat down in the corner, oblivious to the game even being on. When Canada scored to tie the game and the crowd erupted in cheers, they thought it would be funny to start belly aching about how that goal should have never counted blah blah blah because it would be funny to upset a crowd of people wearing maple leafs. My dad was good-hearted and said "Well it was a good goal, but all we did was tie it up. It's still anyone's game!" ... For every Canadian save, they BOOOOOOOO'd, and for every Canadian penalty, they cheered! As soon as the USA scored one more goal, they were so loud, and one guy stood up and screamed "WE ARE THE BEST!!!!" And with that, they ran out of the bar without even watching the rest of the game. Everyone was pretty disgusted, including the Mexican bartender! Sportsmanship.... too bad not everyone was born with that. Canada lost the game, but still made it to the gold medal round. I'm super proud of my country, but I don't think anyone needs to be that arrogant. I'm proud of every country that has won any medals!
