Also not to be a debbie downer but even the four golds the country has won they have backed into them hoping the person in the lead failed. I don't think Canada has gone into any event they were suppose to win, and actually won it.
I know people keep saying wait for the last week and we will start winning more but nothing I have seen from the medals we were suppose win that makes me BELIEVE now! I want to, but just don't see a reason to get excited just so I can be let down again.

Geez, you're really taking this hard eh? I'd say Bilodeau at least went out there with a purpose and won his gold outright, despite the Smith camp whining about it, and Montgomery's run was gold-worthy for sure, same with Snowboard cross....I do however completely agree with the case of choke from athletes like Paradis, Hamelins, Wotherspoon and pretty much any male speed skater, not to mention our craptastic figure skating program...
All that matters in this country tho is Team Canada Hockey and Curling, those are the 2 sports we're "supposed" to win...
