Olympic Gold on Home Soil


Congratulations to Alexandre Bilodeau, the first Canadian to win gold at the Olympics on home soil for Canada! He just won the men's freestyle moguls a few minutes ago. After a drought of 34 years, after Canada hosted it's first Summer Olympics in Montreal in 1976, through 1988 when Calgary hosted Canada's first Winter Olympics, we're finally on the top of the podium at home. Embarrassingly, we were the only host country to never have done that before. What a proud moment for Canadians. And what a relief.
