With nail-biting anticipation, I watched the men's moguls final race, knowing full well many Canadian Athletes were in the running for a medal. Nearing the end, we could see Canadians filling the coveted Gold, Silver, and Bronze seats.

It's all most over just a few Canadians to go, and next in starting position is Alexandre Bilodeau, from Quebec. Go my French brother, Go. He starts out good, first jump and he gets mad air, a little bauble and he is back on track, with screaming time.

Second jump and a beautiful cross X marking his superior jump, and race to the finish line...still nail-biting.....and his time.............GOOD FOR FIRST PLACE.

I jump up and scream at the top of my lungs like I was a soccer player announcer...GOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLDDD.

Unbelievable - On Home Soil - So proud to be Canadian..........Then tears come to my eyes, as I see Alexandre Bilodeau take to the podium, and they place that GOLD medal around his next, and we hear the Canadian Anthem played - No prouder moment in Canadian History than to see that image across my television screen. I loved the screaming and cheering and applauding crowd that made sure Alexandre Bilodeau knew exactly what his accomplishments meant to Canadians at the moment.

We are all proud of you my brother. You really created a momentousoccasion in Canadian history - WELL DONE!

Thanks to our Silver and Bronze medalists as well.
