And I guess that's where I would like to see opinions change. For so long Canada has been ok with personal bests and just being there. If we want to compete on the international stage at an elite level we have to demand more. From the fans, to the athletes, to the coaches, to the sporting federations.
We should want to win. It's just so... defeatist to say a personal best is better than a medal. I know I don't have a popular opinion in Canada. I just hope we can change it and get there. I think we saw the start of a huge shift with the results in Vancouver but I think we need to go further.
