Funny lot we Canadians. We mocked the "Own the Podium" group (a program to finance Olympic hopefuls) especially when we didn't get some of the gold medal we were 'owed'. Yet towards the end, it seems things worked out. I, personally, am PO'd that the Canadian woman's curling team didn't win gold. The skip was hot.

As stated earlier, Pat and I are adopted Canadians and we are very proud that Canada won the most Gold Medals in the history of the Winter Games.
As a side note I watched the earlier portion of the game on the BBC feed and in their rankings, Canada was first due to winning the most Gold Medals.
I think in retrospect, Canada did in fact "Own the Podium".
Chimo, or however it is spelled.
