What is wrong with Canadian athlete's? We don't even have medal yet in the Olympics. Is there a reason for this? Are we missing out on something? There are countries that have not won medals in any Olympic games ever and we can't get it together to even have one so far. Why? Can we not compete against these countries, are we not trained as well as these other 'smaller' countries? What is it? This is down right embarrassing. What if this happens in the Winter games? Oh my, what trauma would the country feel then. Maybe the summer games just aren't our niche, I mean after all we are a hockey nation right. Last time we checked there is no hockey in the Summer Olympics, well except for field hockey of course, but do we really care about that? Did we even send a team? I think I speak for allot of Canadians when I say that we were expecting at least one podium finish by now, but nope, not even a bronze medal yet. I guess all of our 'real Olympians' are waiting for the snow to start falling so they can get to training for 2010 in Vancouver. And having said that, I would hope that even then they are training in gyms all over the country right now because there isn't anyone doing anything worth a dam in Beijing...whats our best finish in a respective event? Fifth...what joke, that's two places out of a chance of standing on the podium. I guess Canada should be really looking forward to Vancouver in 2010 as at least then we will have hockey to cheer for, and of course we are all hoping the outcome is much the same as the outcome in Salt Lake City. And on that we end the rant on Canadian athlete's for now, we hope they pull it together and at least win a bronze, maybe just one, please, someone, BRONZE. I guess the curse of 1936 still lives on as I'm sure your all aware that we have not won a medal in the Summer Olympics Team competition's since then.
Lets wait and see...

we need to get out of this focusing on winter games type mentality and start producing in both. Its a shame to see our athletes go to the summer games and use the same excuses time and time again about why they lost. They can break world records any other time but come Olympics, we choke and its annoying. If we stopped putting our faith in just the winter athletes perhaps we will start winning.
