Canada's first Gold medal was won last night by 22 yr old Alexandre Bilodeau in the men's moguls freestyle skiing. All the performances were amazing -- the speed, the agility! But Alex's was just that much better.*
He is also the epitomy of what the world thinks of when they think of Canadians --Alex is just so darned nice!!

His inspiration and motivation for his ski career has been his 29 yr old brother, Frederic, who has cerebral palsy. Frederic was told by doctors that he'd be unable to either walk or ski by the time he was 12; however, he defies doctors diagnosis and he still does both. The media showed Frederic several times last night as cheered his brother on and then celebrated that winning moment.

Ahhh, I just love it when the good guy wins!
Another proud Canadian moment.

I was on the edge of my seat, we need a Hero right now after that terrible tragedy before the games started.
