Alexandre Bilbodeau: The story of a loving brother & the winner of Canada's 1st gold medal on home ice.

I always imagined when I watched 'the I believe' commercial that we could do better than we had before. After all there had been no gold at Montreal's games and none in Calgary, so hopefully we would win gold in Vancouver. Guess what? that happened and who ever thought it would be Bilodeau who would be the first. I had a conversation with my dad and we had both agreed that he might win bronze tonight but not gold because some other Canadian by the name of Dale Begg-Smith would get it. However Begg-Smith had decided to leave Canada for Australia and became a multi millionarie. I guess money can buy you gold but not a gold metal because he did come away with the silver medal.
As a loving brother, Bilodeau gave up hockey because his brother couldn't skate because he has cerebral palsy. Instead Bilodeau went into freestyle sking and that was obviously was a good choice . His brother is one of his biggest fans and comes with him to turnaments in which he came in 11 place. Now in 2010 he came in first. What a turn around for a guy who no one had predicted would get a medal, but had been ranked number 4 in the World Cup standings. I think Canada has waited long enough to hear that we have a gold after 34 years of not getting any on home soil. Canada now has a gold all thanks to Canada's new hero Alexandre Bilodeau, and this moment will go down as one of the top moments in Canadian history and people will remember this day February 14 2010.

Last day of the olympics and my last blog DaY 17 the record breaking day









































So what happened today well In cross country Canada Devon kershaw finished 5 is not too bad goal by scored a but i wish we would have had a bronze but too well so sad and plus the ski Canada don't let the blind skier by the name of Brian MCkeever ski so what was the point drag him to the Olympics if he wasn't going to ski and plus he would have became the first athlete to do both paryolmpics and the Olympics.
Then hockey gold medal was up for grabs as Team USA led by Ryan miller forced up against The host country Team Canada led by Sidney Crosby who actually played horrible for the past few games. canada started the scoring with a toews goal then in the second period Correy perry scored then USA scored by Ryan kesler and then 25 seconds left in the game Canad worst nightmare happened as American Zack praise son of JP scored to force the game Into overtime. In overtime the one the only scored scored who Sidney Crosby to give Canada the gold medal and history. Canada now has the most gold in any Olympics with 14 but the USA and Germany have more medal than us with 37 forUsa and 30 for Germany and Canada had more medals than Turin. What A Amazing game might be the greatest game to many but not to me the greatest would have to be the following two things Salt lake city in 2002 and the world juniors of 2007 game in the semis against the USA.
Now here the heroes for Canada and the athles who Disappointing us.
first heroes are the following :whole men's and women hockey team,clara hughes,charlies harmlin and the relay team,Denny morrison and the team pursit team ,Scott moir and Tessa vortue,Alexandre Bildeau and Maelle Ricker,Jon Montgomery,Johannie Rochette and Jasey Jay Anderson and Erik Guay and Deven Kershaw and the other medalists and Congs to all who won t medals. now the only people who dispoint was the alphine ski team because they know these hills and the russian hockey team because they get their ass kricked by canda 7-3.
allright well than these has been a fun 2 weeks and not going to sleep till 12 30 and 1 but i surely miss them.
I hope you enjoyed my Blog during the olympcs.
can't wait till london in 2012 and then 2014 souchi.
