Olympics

Some people seem to think that the Olympics are all about winning gold, silver, and bronze. But you know what? They aren't all about medals. They are about Canadian Pride. They are about the excitement, the thrill, the feeling, and the opportunities to live up to a family name. Who cares if Canada doesn't get the medals that we hoped for? As long as our athletes have fun doing the sport that they love. If you don't agree with me then think of it this way. The entire planet got together just to scream at each other, to boo, and glare when another country wins the gold. I mean think about it, where does it say that we will win all of the gold medals? It doesn't. It never will. One country will never win every single medal. It is like an old saying that my teachers sometimes use, "Don't count your chickens before they hatch". It is the same with medals. Yet even though we know it won't happen. we cannot let go of the hope. We all cling to it. We all put pressure on our athletes. But they have proven that they are some of the top athletes in their sports. In my mind they have already won, even if they don't bring home the gold.
