Sadly they just fell short of beating the mighty Canadians, and lost out on a bronze ... some people were so upset they labeled them loser .. WTF !!!.. they are a nation of 5 mil, currently 11th in the world rankings.. to get so close.. and AMAZING achievement, like so many other athletes... you are an Olympian .. how fantastic is that !!.. I would have the 5 rings tattoo'd on my arm in an instant ... 'just' a Silver... well, go get one yourself then dickhead, see how easy it is ....

I think because our coverage is so biased towards the top medallists and Australians! Can you believe it? We have a team of 40 and they just seem to focus on them! I like your point though, it's no mean feat to be included, especially in the winter games since we have about 2 months of very average snow here! Enjoy the rest of the coverage and I hope it's better than ours! I just can’t get into it this time around. I think because our coverage is so biased towards the top medallists and Australians!

Other comments heard recently? ..."<em>settled</em> for a silver." ..."<em>failed</em> to medal." We sure know how to encourage our athletes. Good point Fawn!

Other comments heard recently?
…”settled for a silver.”
…”failed to medal.”

We sure know how to encourage our athletes.

Canadians need to try harder!" And I think, "How in heck does someone do better than their personal best??? Hello???!! Lucy's awesome! I first met her in a French class, then found out she lives in my neighbourhood. And then I wondered why I saw her in a clip of an orientation video shown at the Canada Winter Games. LOL :) I always think it’s odd when I hear on the media, “We can’t just focus on ‘personal best’.
