17 Days, 17 Things to Remember

1) The stunning ceremony at the very beginning!
2) The tier that didn't raise during the lighting of the torch.
3) The outrageous and very long outdoor lighting of the torch with Wayne Gretzky
4) The unfortunate accident that began the whole Winter Olympics...
5) The unpredictable weather!
6) Our very first GOLD!! Hurrah Alex!!
7) The next 13 golds to follow!!
8) The look on Dale Beggsmith's face when we kicked his butt!
9) How envious you must've felt, wishing you could be part of the party happening in BC over the last 17 days. I know I am one of them...
10) When we stripped Russia from their podium in pairs figure skating.
11) When we beat the women's USA hockey team and then the men's hockey team... AGAIN!?! And we'll also add the look on their face when we did beat them.
12) Seeing how patriotic Canada actually is and hoping that it sticks for a looooong time.

13) The red and white that covered the stands.
14) The defeat we faced...
15) The many close calls!
16) The closing ceremony's humour with the relighting of the torch!
17) Seeing how beautiful our nation truely is, how strong our winter warriors can actually be... and how such an event has brought us closer as a nation.
