The Winter Olympic Games

This year the winter Olympic games were held in a place we all know and love, Canada. Well more specifically Vancouver, British Columbia. Canada had hosted the Olympics twice before. Once in 88' in Calgary, Alberta and the other time in 76 in Montreal, Quebec.




Unfortunately both of the times we hosted the games we had never won a gold medal. The Canadian people were a little nervous, they wanted this time to be different. They eagerly anticipating who would win the first gold medal on Canadian soil.


The games began with Alexandre Bilodeau winning Canada's first gold medal at home. What an exiting moment one we would never forget. So now Canada had a gold medal but we were not finished yet. No, we were far from being finished. Who could forget the men's hockey game between Canada and the U.S. with the overtime goal by Sidney Crosby which gave us our last gold medal.



Canada went on to win 7 bronze medals 7 silver medals and fourteen Gold medals the most of any winter Olympics .The Vancouver 2010 Winter games would go down in history as the the time that Canada won the most gold medals of all time!



In conclusion, Canada did pretty good for their last Host Olympic games comming from no medals at all to the most of all tiem? thats a pretty good improvement.
