Talking Heads

So some of the anchors covering the Olympics must be running out of things to talk about. It has been mentioned that the Canadian Olympic Committee will have some explaining to do if Canada doesn't get the 22 medals they should win.

That is truly not the spirit of the games.

The Olympics is about the celebration of sport.

Granted, winning is also very nice, but the majority of the athletes at the 2010 games will only be able to say, "Yes - I am an Olympian", than those who have medals.

If we truly wanted more medals then perhaps there should have been much more funding available to our hopefuls - instead of making their dreams unobtainable because they had to hold down a job as well as train. (No Shaun White or Micheal Phelps in Canada)

Let's not forget the years of training, struggle and sacrifice that our athletes have gone through just to be able to participate.

I for one am proud of Canada and our athletes, no matter the medal count.

Until tomorrow.
