Podium proud Post a comment 

While the Canadian Olympic Committee's much-heralded Own the Podium campaign pretty much fizzled with this country failing to finish at the very top of the medal standings, that doesn't mean we should look upon the Vancouver Games as being a failure.

On the contrary, there were many bright moments for Canadian athletes during the two weeks of competition. And no matter what the British tabloids choose to print about the Olympics and this country's ability to host them, we all should be proud as Canadians for a job well done. More than that, however, we should be prepared to celebrate a strong showing by this country's athletes - including those who led the way to the medal podium.
