Well, you know I'd probably trade all of our golds at these Olympics (which to be fair, is so far none, so I won't be trading anything) for Grondin to have his Olympic gold so even if we had 13 medals and 5 golds I'd probably be reacting this way anyways 

I feel the same way about short track. All of short track. I don't even know if I can stand to watch this afternoon. But I guess the anxiety is part of the joy of watching. 

 

It's been a tough morning because one gold was robbed, and the other was so close. But silvers aren't too bad. If this was Day 1 instead of Day 6, maybe we'd be a bit more calm. But we are hungry for that gold as a nation.

Only winning one gold would be a disaster too

I'm actually pretty bummed we don't have a luge relay team. Not because I think we'd win a medal (though, who knows, look at the World Championships!) but it's really fun to watch. I mean, I'll watch it anyway, but it'd be nice to have a horse in the race, too.

Aside from Canada, I always like to cheer for the smaller countries so I'll probably be rooting for  Latvia

So, Gem seems to be down. Probably because of the hockey game.

If Canada needs one thing currently, it’s an exorcist or something.

 

Clearly the winter sports gods are mad with Canada right now, whatever it is we did.

 

But hey, uh, at least we medaled?
