Olympics

For ALL you faithful readers. The next few weeks are going to focus on the Olympics. I'm currently watching the Canadian-Russia Women's hockey game. Canada is winning 7-0 after the first period, yesterday Canada beat Italy 16-0! Rumor has it that after the game the Italian players were asking for autographs and tips. In Italy's defense, it's their first year having a women's hockey team at the Olympics.
But today we're going to talk about Jennifer Heil. Bringing home the first medal for Canada, a gold medal.
Jennifer took out the defending gold medalist Kari Traa of Norway in the Women's Moguls. She's 22 and from Alberta. Heil took the last run of the day and you could see the focus and determination in her face prior to heading through the moguls, you could see her visualizing every turn, twist and flip before pushing off the top and heading through the moguls.



"I don't know what to say, this has been my biggest dream. I didn't know it could come true."

And yet there was some disappointment in the day. When being presented with flowers the announcer introduced her as an American! He quickly corrected himself but not before Heil's jaw dropped and the crowded started to Boo!
