Welp, the Games are now over for Canada in terms of medals. There are two events tomorrow: the Gold medal hockey game which we are not involved in, and the 50km cross country race, in which we have entrants but who are extremely unlikely to get a whiff of a medal unless about 30 guys ahead of them fail drug tests.

We will finish with 24 medals, by far a record haul, including 7 gold. That puts us in third overall and fifth in terms of gold, an amazing achievement.

To our athletes who brought it home, I thank you. You made my family and I very proud and we were thrilled by your victories and achievements. Cindy Klassen, you are the superstar of these Games for Canada, winning 5 medals! Clara Hughes, you made history as the only person from any nation to win multiple medals at both Winter and Summer Games (2 in cycling and 3 in speedskating). If you two don't get some serious endorsement contracts, corporate Canada is dropping the ball. Chandra Crawford, you came out of nowhere to win at cross country. Duff Gibson, even at 40 you proved you can still win Gold. Jennifer Heil, your freestyle skiing Gold to start the ball rolling was sweet. To the good people of Newfoundland who closed the schools on Friday to watch your native sons win the curling gold, you showed the greatest national pride. To all those young athletes who must have posted a record number of top tens, you will reap a bunch of medals in 2010 in Vancouver and will break the record set these Games we have no doubt.

A great Games for Canada! See you in 2010 in British Columbia!
