We're number Four

So far in this winter Olympics, Canadian athletes have finished in fourth spot 10 times. That's got to be some kind of record.

It's great our athletes are finally competing with the best in the world consistently, but it's also the worst place to finish at the Olympics. Fifth would be a better finish than fourth, IMHO. So close, but so far...

However, this is good news for Vancouver in 2010, as the younger athletes will have a solid experience of what to do in four years, when they can compete for gold on home turf (oops, sorry ).

On an even more upbeat note... Canada got an unexpected GOLD medal in women's cross-country skiing this morning. She's just 22 years old and in her first Olympics.
