The U.S. got the gold in the 4 man bobsled. First time in 62 years, that was cool.

Absolutely. Did you see the film from their last gold in 1948? The track they ran on was a natural track. Something you make with your kids and their sleds. The pride those guys felt on the medal podium was visible.

Absolutely magnificent....Both teams were fantastic. Congrats Canada ! Well done ! and believe it or not...I watched the whole thing......I really don't like hockey that much, but I really enjoyed that game.

Well I hear that internationally the games were not received very well....actually according to some it was the worst ever. Well I may be biased but I think considering the weather challenges and the ominous start....all in all we pulled it off! Congrats VanOc, the people of Vancover and Whistler, and to CTV for pulling off a huge feat and for making me continue to be a very proud Canadian!!

Congratulations Team Canada. Good thing you have Sidney Crosby. Hopefully he won't hear all the negative crap from opposing teams in Canada anymore.

I'll give him a pass since he led the Pens to the Cup last year.

Great game. Can't wait for the season to restart up on Tuesday.

There are always complainers when the games are not in the U.S. or Europe. Granted I am not a hardcore fan but what I saw was great. You can't control the weather. The fact that Canada (a small country population wise) pulled it off and led in the gold medal count deserves congratulations.

+1

I think, all things considered, they seem to have been well received and justifiably so. Good job! My wife and I probably watched more winter games this year than any year in the past, so that says something.

I'm even getting to like curling.
