Well done, Canada, you Own The Odium

It is hard to say whether Canada’s Own The Podium programme has been a bigger disaster in terms of sport or public relations. Gold medal in both categories, I think. The idea was for Canada to emerge as gracious hosts of the Winter Olympics and glorious winners as well.

Alas, the Canadians have come across as a bunch of mean-spirited, chippy, unsporting losers. Things have come to a pretty pass when you find yourself rooting for the United States. But I really have been cheering for stars and stripes rather than maple leaves. The Canadian shenanigans in Vancouver have alienated the entire world.

if there is 1 guy sitting with his feet up and big smile on his face, proud of his accomplishment it's geoff bodine. it took about 10 years but the Bo-Dyn sled project paid off in GOLD. he jumped in and helped give the USA bobsledders American made equipment.
