And for those of you saying they think it's arrogant...isn't that exactly what people are saying we should see more of from Canadians athletes? I think it's good to see Olympic athletes who carry themselves with a bit of swagger and arrogance and who think they are the best in the world...because guess what? They are.

Absolutely not. I want to see backbone and mental toughness, not fear, I want to see firece determination, I want to see a drive to succeed right to the very end of their event. To me, that was personified by Joannie Rochette.
Becoming a winner does not have to involve arrogance. I associate arrogance with ###### bag......as in Kesler, as in Begg-Smith.....
