… and without any incident! That was the thing I feared the most. I was anxious to see some terrorists plot something bad during the two weeks of games. But finally nothing happened. Only good performances by super athletes from all around the world. And this is how everybody (including me) wanted it to be I guess. Olympic games are supposed to be an event where all nations must celebrate through the sports.

Now we can say that Michael Phelps, from the USA, stole the show with his 8 gold medals. What an athlete. Usian Bolt from Jamaica was very impressive too. And we can also say that the people from Beijing definitely know how to organize opening and closing shows. The spectacles were just fabulous (even if a bit tricked for the TV).

Even if the Canada did not finish in the top-16 countries, we can be proud of our athletes. 18 medals is 6 more than what we got at Athens. So we cannot complain.

We had two good weeks of Olympic performances. Now this is over and we’ll have to wait until 2010 in Vancouver for more of this. In the waiting, we have good NHL hockey to entertain us that starts in a few weeks!
