Olympic Moment Du Jour



I intend to write an entry about why I love the Olympics (I love the sports it showcases, I love the amateur athletes even though that term's worn very thin these days, I love the stories of people struggling and sacrificing just to participate in this huge human endeavor) but for the moment have this image:

The Canadian Women's Hockey Team won the gold medal (over the US, no less). When their medal ceremony was conducted, the entire stadium sang "O Canada" with them. I have heard many a hymn in a church that was less joyful and less sacred than that moment of deserved awesome.

*PS Do not argue with me about spoiler-cutting for the Olympics. Not the place, not the time, and I'm not interested.
