He obviously didn't actually read the article. (Yeah another one of those). If he had, he would have noted the writer was judgmental, and not entirely complimentary to Canadians. I called the critique fair. What's his name just read the article title, and assumed it was all praise of Canadians, which of course, you and me know, It was not, so we question, "what the Hell's he talking about?".

Hope everyone enjoyed the Olympics. However, I have to say this: We should all encourage our Olympic athletes, now and in future years to be proud of themselves, whether they win Gold, Silver, Bronze, or don't win a medal at all. They should never, ever, feel any need to apologize to anyone if they fail to win a medal. They made the Olympic team representing their country. The public and media should allow them to bask in the glory of the games and enjoy the experience. Medals are nice, but the spirit and sportsmanship of competition is worth much, much more.

And, let's lose the attitude of "anything less than gold" is simply not good enough. Hey, second or third best in the WORLD is an amazing accomplishment. Let's recognize that fact.

I disagree, I like the all or nothing attitude our athletes have. That was the original and true spirit of the games; to come together in peaceful competition to see who is the best athlete and the best nation on earth at sport. People seem to have forgotten the second half of all that.

Then don't accept silver or gold. Simple as that. Or ask the Olympic Committee to forget them and just hand out gold only. I mean, why bother is they aren't wanted? Athletes should be proud of winning any medal when they are competing against the best in the WORLD. If they win silver or bronze and aren't happy, ....what's wrong with them?
