Sochi provided another excellent Olympic Games. We had a great time in our house following the results every day and catching the highlights in Prime Time. Overall I am proud of the Canadian team. I think if there was a stat for which country had the most top 10 finishes we would be at the top. It is amazing the range and depth of athletes that we have in almost all of the events.
Speed skating was a dissapointment but was made up for by the strength in the "X-factor" events. I would hope that the Olympic legacy of Vancouver 2010 will start to really pay off in 2018 when athletes who just started training in 2010-2014 will hit their prime. Hopefully our outright dominance in hockey and curling will continue for the decades to come!
