Despite all the talk about a poor showing by Canadian athletes at the start of the 2008 Summer Olympics – our team is bringing home quite a few medals in the end.
The Canadian medal haul in Beijing totalled 18 – three gold, nine silver and six bronze.
That’s just four medals shy of the 22 won in Atlanta in 1996 — the Canadian high for a non-boycotted Games.
People tell Bayshore Broadcasting news they really enjoyed watching the Games, although it was hard to work into their busy schedules.
However, some tell us they made sure to catch the Canadian highlights.
Some say their favourite moment of the Games was when Canadian equestrian competitor Ian Millar won silver, his first medal in 9 Olympiads.
Others say their favourite moment was the spectacular opening ceremonies.
And everyone we spoke to had a personal favourite event, ranging from diving to gymnastics.
