Dear Canada,
The Olympics have come to a close and my hope is that the spirit and the energy of the Games will live on. The Olympics are an incredible celebration of humanity where 207 countries gather in one place, living as one community, share meals under the same roof and have one shared vision and idea: the pursuit of excellence. …
… The day before competition, all 16 competitors train on the competition equipment during the same time block.
There was a moment between my turns where I looked around, seeing all of these amazing women from around the world, training together under the Olympic Rings. In that moment, I was filled with pure joy.
I was so happy to be here. I was so happy to be training with the other athletes. It also didn’t hurt that my training was the best one I had had yet. …
If you’ve been moved or inspired by your team, keep the momentum going! Take your kids outside and play. Volunteer for local sporting programs or competitions. If you’re in a position to be able to, donate to help someone have the opportunity experience sport and pursue a dream. …
Congratulations. Many nations need study what they are doing so right. 🙂

Here’s a feel good story.
Bryony Page has won silver in the trampolining event at the Rio Olympics tonight. …
Page broke down in tears when she realised she was guaranteed a medal, with two athletes left to jump.
She was in such a daze that she couldn’t even see where to go to collect her medal. …

Many in Gymnastics sports get asked: “Are you Going to the Olympics?”
Here’s how some Canadian athletes at different levels answered that tough question. Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
Did you like the gunmetal Canadian leos?
MacLennan went to Rio with four different suits, custom fit and designed for her at this Jagwear Gymnastic Apparel factory – two of them for competition day. In a Rio Games alight with gymnasts wearing trendy bling-encrusted leotards, MacLennan is, by comparison, conservative with the sparkle. Her competition suits are bejewelled with just 1,400 rhinestones each – arranged tight in a maple leaf on the chest and cascading randomly over the rest of the suit, a little like shooting stars. …
Knowing most of their competition in their discipline would be heavily gemmed, Canada’s artistic gymnasts chose the shinier and more expensive Swarovski Crystals. Since they don’t retail, Jagwear won’t estimate a price for the Olympic suits, but say the crystals alone cost about $300 per suit. …
