Thanks for your comments. I still am in awe of the performance of our Winnipeg (Canadian) skaters.

Cindy Klassen is coming back to Winnipeg soon and she will be recognized for her inspiring sports contributions.

I apologize for the delay as I was getting spammed with comments for a while.

I caught a little of the recent olympic games myself, and I was especially impressed by Emily Hughes.

In the finals, where most of her competitors looked extremely nervous, she came out with a smile so huge and brilliant, there was no way it could be fake.

About a third into her program she fell - and then got up and went on with an even bigger smile and even more power. She nailed the rest of her program and ended in 6th place, I believe.

Her mother was asked at a press conference what her daughter’s greatest strength was. Her answer: “She’s a happy kid!”

Beautiful!

It was so fun to see them on the medal stand together, and to hear Oh Canada being played in both their honors.<br/><br/>Thanks for sharing this outstanding perspective from a couple of classy ladies!<br/><br/>Have a great day, ay!<br/><br/>Jodee Wow - I consider myself an honorary Canadian ever since my days in Rolla, ND … 10 miles south of the Manitoba border - and I couldn’t be prouder of these two skaters.
