One Moment In Time

While it was great to see Canada beat up on Russia 7-3 in hockey and to see our bobsliders finish with gold and silver medals in their event, the greatest highlight of these games was Joannie Rockette's performance in the short skating programne.

As you might know, Joannie's mother passed away a few days ago. You could see the pain on Joannie's face from the loss, but the determination to do her best for Canada and her mother was in her heart. She achieved her highest scores of the competition that night and while it was only good for third place, it seemed like a momentous achievement.

The free skate is tonight and Joannie should get a bronze medal, but for all Canadians she won gold two nights ago.

Joannie's effort will be an inspiration to every athelete who comes after to do their best despite pain and adversity. This is what the Olympics are about for me and I'll remember this special performance for the rest of my life (One Moment In Time).
