Ya expectations are definitely challenging, but if you're an Olympian that's what you do, you overcome it and excel. Didn't seen to faze Norway when they hosted in '94 and ended up finishing 2nd in the medal standings. Or Australia in '00 when they finished an impressive 4th. That's what good athletes do. I love this country, but sometimes I think our famous laid back attitude hurts us in events like the Olys. I watched the interview of the bobsledder who crashed and he was laughing it off(though I think it was due to being rattled), it kinda irked me how he said its a good day anyways because one of his coaches just had a baby. Good to see the complete lack of fire inside..

In hindsight I actually like how Del Bosco pushed it. He's got that American killer instinct, he wanted the gold. He wasn't content with bronze so he went for it. I like that. I think more Canadians need that mentality. It seems like outside of hockey and perhaps curling, it vanishes. It's just frustrating.
