All the athletes did an awesome job. Must be so hard to get there, all the time and effort and money dedicated to getting there.

I'm not sure about other places in the world but in Canada our athletes don't get much in the way of funds from the government. I mean training for the olympics is pretty much a full time job and yet most people have to have a full time job to pay the bills and just scratch by to make it to the olympics.

I'm really happy for all the athletes and I think third place is great.

Not bad considering the US sucks in the Olympics.
