Olympic Pride

  The 2016 Olympics are almost over. Canadian athletes have been stunning! Winning 18 medals in total including four gold! As a country we tend to do better in the winter games.....imagine that. This time around we are taking the medals home in dramatic fashion.

  Canada seems to have found their niche in the water. Nine medals have been water related. Penny Oleksiak won four medals!!! Four. And she's only 16! Unbelievable. Funny enough she only learned to swim at age nine. 

  Rugby, wrestling, high jump, sprinting, heptathlon, decathlon, cycling. We are everywhere! Lots of airport scanners will be going off when our athletes arrive home.

  Damian Warner winning a bronze medal was especially moving for me. I'm always a little prouder when I see my last name in the limelight. We aren't related but that's besides the point. That extra pride is real.

  FYI....The town of Mulgrave Nova Scotia, population under 800, sent one of their own to the Olympics in 1992 and 1996! What an inspiration. 

  Enjoy these last few days of events. Cheer for your country. Cheer for them all.
