Canada Finally Wins Gold on Home Soil

It took three Olympic games and 34 years that started back in 1976 in Montreal for Canada to claim gold on native soil. All those phenomenal athletes between then and now; Brian Orser, Elizabeth Manley, Josie Chouinard, Shawn O'Sullivan; they performed their hearts out and still came up short, but walked away with silver. (To this day, I still believe O'Sullivan got royally screwed out of his rightful gold against Frank Tate) This time Canada has finally won gold on home soil. Remember the name, Alexandre Bilodeau, because he will go down in the annals of Canadian Olympic history as the man, the athlete, to first win gold on Canadian soil.
