First Olympic Medal For Canada in Sochi's 2014 Winter Olympic Games

CONGRATULATIONS to Mark McMorris! Canada's first Olympic medallist at Sochi's Winter Olympic Games (2014).  It's Bronze for Mark! Congratulations also to the Gold medallist US, Sage Kotsenburg and Silver medallist from Norway, Stale Sandberg.

My daughter and I watched the Slopestyle event last night. Slopestyle? I first thought that was snowboarding event.  It was one of the "extreme sports" added to the Olympic Games.


There are so many sports event that I have to watch such as: Biathlon. I love this sports of cross-country skiing following trails and then going up to the target shooting and aiming rifles. It was a sport contested in 1924 because it's  very challenging. The Norwegians finally succeed to include Biathlon as an Olympic game worthy of a cause. Well it's great for the military practice of target shooting.

Next sports I want to see are:  the Moguls, Speed skating, Downhill skiing, Figure skating, Ice dance skating (pair), Hockey (Male and Female's team). Canada has 221 athletes to compete in numerous sports programs so it is impossible for them not to bring in so many medals. The Americans have hundreds of athletes who joined the Olympic Games and so as Russian delegations. But the motto in Olympic Games is HIGHER< STRONGER, FASTER!

Who's next to bring us GOLD MEDALS? SILVER and BRONZE? Anybody?
